ORNAMENTAL FLOWERING SHRUBS i 
THE DOGWOODS 
BRIGHTLY COLORED BARK AND SHOWY BER- 
RIES MAKE THESE VARIETIES INDISPEN- 
SABLE FOR LANDSCAPE PLANTING 
(Cornus)—The shrub Dogwoods are valued for their 
brilliant barks and berries and their handsome foliage. All 
varieties do well in shade. The fall fruits attract an as- 
semblage of birds and the tangled mass of highly colored 
twigs serve to brighten the sombreness of the landscape 
in winter. The mingling of groups of red, yellow, purple- 
red and gray branches produces an effective display. 
CORAL RED DOGWOOD (Siberica)—Upright growth, 
sun or shade, 6-8 ft. in height, white flowers in June fol- 
lowed by white fruits; bark coral or blood-red in winter. 
Border and tall foundation corner locations. 
YELLOW DOGWOOD (flaviramea aurea)—A bright 
golden branched shrub of spreading form, prefers sun or 
ee shade, 4 ft. in height with white flowers in June; white 
Cornus berries. 
CYDONIA 
JAPONICA (Japan Quince)—Very early in spring this fine old 
shrub is completely covered with dazzling scarlet flowers; followed 
by small, quince-shaped fruits which are quite fragrant. Growth 
bushy with protecting thorns. 
DEUTZIA 
An elegant species of strong, erect-growing shrubs. Especially prized 
for the beautiful clusters of blossoms in May. 
GRACILIS—A handsome, dwarf and bushy little shrub with slen- 
der, often arching branches. A neat shrub that blooms in May, 
clothing its branches in pure white flowers. Valuable for shrubber- 
ies or for forcing. 
LEMOINEII—Spreading shrub to three feet in height. Its pure white 
flowers appear in broad panicles. A very desirable shrub, more 
vigorous and with more showy flowers than some of the other 
forms. Excellent for forcing. Very hardy. 
PRIDE OF ROCHESTER—Showy, early, large-flowering sort; 
blossoms in May before others. Grows 6 to 8 feet high. White |. 
flowers, large and double. One of the best of the Deutzias, 2 to 3 Cydonia 
feet. 
CRENATA FL. PL.—Double Deutzia. Of tall habit. Covered with racemes of double white flowers, 
tinged with pink, during June. Graceful and beautiful. 
DESMODIUM 
DESMODIUM PENDULIFLORUM—An exceedingly 
graceful shrub-like plant covered with purplish-red flow- 
ers in Summer when little else is in bloom. Strikingly 
beautiful. 
EUONYMUS, ALATA (Winged Euonymus)—Spreading 
shrub, to 8 ft.; branches stiff, with corky wings. This 
species is one of the most beautiful; leaves turn bright 
crimson in fall and in winter the shrub is conspicuous 
by its broadly winged branches. 
EXOCHORDA GRANDIFLORA 
7 PEARL BUSH—This is a Chinese shrub of robust growth, 
producing loose clusters of pure white flowers in May; 
one of the best shrubs where climate is not too severe. 
Where protection is afforded it will survive the winters 
without injury to plant. 
Shrubs not only beautify the lawn, but they increase 
the value of the property many times their cost and time 
it takes to care for them.
