A most amenable new shrub thriving in sunless places and smoky towns. 
Waxy blush-white and delicately perfumed, the flowers of this new 
Viburnum are produced in early spring when the leaves are unfolding. 
They form round, domed clusters, and the Gardenialike fragrance is so 
sweet as to pervade a large area. The plant grows about 6 feet high 
and 4 to 5 feet in diameter. It likes a well drained location with plenty 
of moisture. This is a new medium sized shrub—a real aristocrat. For 
the small garden, where there is room only for the choicest shrubs, the 
one Viburnum above all others that should be grown is Viburnum 
Burkwoodi. Foliage brilliant in autumn, shiny dark green all summer. 
Carlesi Each $5.00, Three $14.00, Doz. $50.00 
For many years this has been one of the most popular of early spring 
flowering shrubs; flowering when the Tulips are in bloom it spreads its 
fragrance throughout the garden. Just when the leaves are unfolding 
its globe-shaped flowers are at their best, waxy white and deliciously 
fragrant. It is hardy and easy to grow. When not in bloom its gray- 
green foliage is handsome. Beware, however, never to use any spray 
containing sulphur on or near this or any other Viburnums. Sulphur will 
produce black spots on the !eaves and may defoliate the plants alto- 
gether. We send nice flowering plants about 2 to 3 feet high. 
Dilatatum Xanthocarpum (Golden-Fruited Cranberry Bush) 
Each $2.50, Three $7.00, Doz. $25.00 
This makes a handsome bush 5 to 7 feet high. It is particularly attrac- 
tive from July to December after when its beautiful blossoms are re- 
placed by immense clusters of 11-inch golden yellow fruits. The clus- 
ters of berries are many and heavy, and create a beautiful show against 
the rich green foliage. The heavily fruited branches may be cut for 
indoor decoration. They combine stunningly with Gladioli, Dahlias, or 
Chrysanthemums. The clusters of fruits retain their beautiful. golden 
yellow tint for six weeks or more. Easily grown, hardy as an Oak. May 
be planted in fall or spring. The plants we ship are about 4 feet tall. 
Mariesi Each $3.00, Three $8.50, Doz. $32.00 
This variety is an improved form of Tomentosum. The plants do not 
grow quite as tall nor quite as fast (about 6 to 7 ft. when mature) 
but it blooms more profusely and while still young. When in flower 
this shrub is handsomer than the White Dogwood. If you have some lanky 
overgrown shrubs in your garden, replace them with V. Mariesi and 
we assure you that you will treasure this as one of the finest plants 
you possess. There is nothing finer! Beautiful flowers and foliage. 
brilliant red fruit, easy culture, hardy and free from bugs. We send 
plants about 3 ft. tall which already have flowered in the nursery.

for edgings and hedges in wet or heavy clay ground where it is difficult 
for other plants to thrive. Does well in light shade. It is extremely hardy. 
Can be clipped or left natural as desired, in either case it grows into a 
fine compact and low hedge which requires no care. 
Tomentosum Each $2.50, Three $7.00, Doz. $25.00 
If all the other Viburnums were thrown into the discard, this one would 
justify the family. It is a superb flowering shrub and the spectacle of 
a good Tomentosum in bloom is a sight not ever to be forgotten. In early 
June the horizontal branches become perfect mosaics of wheel-like 
clusters ringed with dazzling white flowers, with spidery sunburst cen- 
ters, resembling a fall of snow. Ultimate height 8 feet.
