foliage turns to autumn colors with the 
first frost. 15-18 in., $1.35 each; 3 for 
$3.85. 12-15 in., $1.20 each; 3 for $3.40.

feet tall make it very popular. Used ex-

SPIREAS 
The name Spirea is perhaps better known than that of any other shrub, but some 
people still think it means only Bridal Wreath. Actually there is a vast difference in 
the varieties; some are very dwarf, growing only 18 to 24 inches tall; others medium 
size; and some tall. The pink and red flowering varieties are some of the most widely 
SNOWGARLAND SPIREA. Each spring 
clusters of tiny white flowers are borne 
by the hundreds on the branches before 
the shrub is in full leaf. The lacy, light 
green leaves lend distinction to this shrub 
that usually grows 3 to 4 feet tall. 18-24 
in., $1.15 each; 3 for ’$3.252, 12-18) an. 
$1.00 each; 3 for $2.80. 
BILLIARDI SPIREA. The tall spikes of 
rosy red flowers, towering above the fo- 
liage, are very showy and entirely differ- 
ent from all other Spireas. Where a 4 to 
5-foot shrub is desired, it is very satis- 
tensively in the foundation planting or in front of large shrubs in the border. The factory. 2-3 ft., $1.25 each; 3 for $3.55. 
leaves turn from green to purple-red in autumn. 18-24 in., $1.15 each; 3 for $3.25. 18-24 in., $1.00 each; 3 for $2.80.

VIBURNUMS 
old favorite seems to grow and bloom well in most 
any location. The white wreaths of flowers com- 
Few people are familiar with this family of shrubs because they are 
known by many different names. Features all the Viburnums have 
pletely cover the plant each spring. It is also an 
excellent shrub for an informal hedge. 2-3 ft., $1.00

each; 3 for $2.80. 18-24 in., 85c each; 3 for $2.40. 
ARROWWOOD (Viburnum dentatum). An upright-growing, nicely 
shaped shrub for foundation planting as well as in the border. Small, 
dark green leaves make this shrub neat in appearance all season. 
In early spring small white flowers, in clusters about 3 inches across, 
are quite numerous, followed by many blue berries that remain on 
the plant for months. Foliage turns to shades of red and purple 
in autumn. 2-3 ft., $1.65 each; 3 for $4.75. 18-24 in., $1.35 each; 
3 for $3.85. 
WAYFARING BUSH (Viburnum lantana). The large, round, dark 
green, leathery leaves are very attractive and remain on the plant 
long after killing frosts. The white flowers in clusters, nearly 4 
inches across, appear in June, followed by red fruit later turning 
to hard black berries. A good shrub for the tall border, especially 
{ between shrubs with small leaves. 2-3 ft., $1.75 each; 3 for $4.95. 
HIGHBUSH CRANBERRY (Viburnum trilobum). Like the other 
Viburnums the foliage is outstanding. The large, heavy textured 
leaves are shaped like a Maple leaf, and turn to brilliant autumn col- 
ors in the fall. Most outstanding feature is huge clusters of bright 
red berries that follow the large white flower heads borne in the 
spring. Berries remain on the plant long into the winter. Use as 
an accent shrub in the border or as an untrimmed hedge for screen- 
ing purposes. This shrub withstands smoke of the cities that many 
will not tolerate. 18-24 in., $1.50 each; 3 for $4.30. 
SNOWBALL (Viburnum opulus roseum). This is the old-fashioned 
Snowball that is still in demand. The perfectly round, white flower 
clusters have the appearance of a snowball and are borne in large 
numbers on a single plant. Many use it as a single specimen plant, 
but it is equally good when three or five are planted in a group in 
the shrub border. This is one Viburnum that does not have berries 
following the blossoms. 18-24 in., $1.50 each; 3 for $4.30. 12-18 
in., $1.20 each; 3 for $3.40. 
Highbush Cranberry 
BURNING BUSH 
We feel that this is the best of all deciduous shrubs. 
It is absolutely hardy, grows equally well in sun or 
ae shade, and can be maintained at any height de- 
sired by trimming. The branches appear to be square instead of round, due 
to the corky wing growth. The long, narrow, dark green leaves of summer 
turn to blazing crimson in autumn. An excellent shrub for planting near 
the house foundation or as background for rose or perennial beds. 18-24 in., 
| $2.95 each; 3 for $8.45, 15-18 in., $2.15 each; 3 for $6.15. We pay the post- 
age.

shrubs. 18-24 in., $1.10 each; 3 for $3.10. 12-18 in., 75c each; 3 for $2.15.
