Viburnum Carlcephalum 
(Plant Patent No. 776) 
THE FINEST FLOWERING SHRUB 
IN A DECADE 
Che CNew Gi raqrant Snowball 
This is the famous and splendid Hybrid from V. Carlesi and V. 
Macrecephalum, which originated in England just before the war. 
The originator turned this wonderful shrub over to Wayside Gar- 
dens for introduction in this country. 
It is absolutely hardy and has gone through several winters here 
in Mentor with temperatures as much as ten degrees below zero. 
It is of branching habit and quick growth, growing about six to 
seven feet high and can be pruned to any size or shape desired. 
Does equally well in acid soil or those which are alkaline. 
It is a most profusely flowering shrub with large cymose clusters 
of blossoms which may be as much as six inches across, rarely ever 
smaller than four inches, either flattened or globular, mostly the 
latter. The flowers are exceedingly fragrant, rivaling its seed par- 
ent. 
It is a deciduous shrub and carries a wealth of foliage. The 
leaves are practically identical with those of V. Carlesi but in 
the autumn are brilliantly colored. 
This Hybrid was shown at the Royal Horticultural Show in Lon- 
don before the war where it received the highest awards and 
praise. It has taken quite some time to test it here in Mentor and 
we claim without reservation that it is one of the finest spring- 
flowering shrubs we have ever seen. 
A limited number of flowering plants, about 3 feet tall, 
available at $10.00 each.
