Flowering Shrubs 
From the first warm morning in spring when the Forsythia shows its flowers of gold, 
to the frosty fall days when the Hydrangea turns to red and brown, you can enjoy the 
beauties of flowering shrubs. Color, fragrance, hardiness, and quick growth unite to 
make these plants attractive in every well-planned landscape, whether small or large. 
The original cost is small compared to the value and interest, increasing year by year, 
which some flowering shrubs will add to your home grounds. 
BARBERRY . Berberis 
SARGENT BARBERRY. Berberis. sar- 
gentiana. An evergreen form of Japanese 
Barberry; the leaves are smaller and the 
plant more compact. Many small flowers 
in summer, followed by bright red berries. 
JAPANESE BARBERRY. B. thunbergi. 
A fine hedge-plant for city use, with thorny 
branches. Foliage is deep green, changing in 
autumn to bright red. Scarlet fruits. 
PURPLE-LEAVED BARBERRY. B. vul- 
garis atropurpurea. Foliage rich bronze- 
red, changing to purple. Valuable for color 
contrast in shrub plantings. 
BUTTERFLY-BUSH - Buddleia 
BUTTERFLY-BUSH. Buddleia. This 
popular summer-flowering shrub grows 
quickly, and if a hard winter freezes it back, 
it soon recovers. The flowers are carried in 
long racemes. Colors range through violet, 
purple and pinkish lilac tones. A fine speci- 
men or hedge in full sun. 
SWEET-SHRUB . Calycanthus 
SWEET-SHRUB. Calycanthus floridus. 
A rather tall shrub with large leaves. 
Chocolate-colored flowers in June, which 
are very fragrant when crushed in the hand.

DOGWOOD . Cornus 
WHITE-FLOWERING DOGWOOD. Cor- 
nus florida. An American shrub or small 
tree which bears a profusion of exquisite 
white flowers in the spring, even before the 
leaves appear. The branches are horizon- 
tal, and the blooms are carried flat upon 
them, followed by bright scarlet fruits in 
the fall. They are beautiful as specimens 
on the small lot or for mass planting on 
large Iawns. To secure best results they 
must be given especial care the first year. 
PINK-FLOWERING DOGWOOD. C. 
florida rubra. Similar to the above, but 
flowers are deep pink. One of our out- 
standing flowering trees that makes a mag- 
nificent picture when in bloom. Does well 
in shade. 
DEUTZIA 
PRIDE OF ROCHESTER. There are few 
shrubs that are so easy to grow and yet 
give such beautiful effects in masses of soft 
white flowers, as the Deutzias. This va- 
riety is one of the tallest and best, with 
especially large flowers that appear in July 
and have just a suggestion of pink on the 
backs of the petals. 
Shrubs will fill that space between trees and 
low-growing flowers
