Flowering and Ornamental 
Shrubs 
“The beautiful lessons which ‘blossoms’ teach to children.”—Chaplin 
HERE is a place for flowering shrubs around every home—cottage, mansion or palace. A 
ee needs a little color, a foundation wall needs to be concealed, a garage should be 
screened. In all these places flowering shrubs are adaptable and useful. 
From our fields this year we shall take the finest shrubs possible to grow—large, well de- 
veloped, with good roots, and not by any means like the shrubs sold on “‘bargain’’ counters, 
which in many cases are of unknown origin. In fact, Hillenmeyer shrubs are heavy and carry 
several canes. 
The size shown after each shrub indicates the approximate height it should be expected 
to attain. Chokeberry—-Aronia

Aralia 
ARALIA spinosa (Devil’s Walkingstick). 10 to 15 ft. A large, vigorous shrub or small tree 
giving semi-tropical effect. The stiff, erect, very prickly stems bear compound leaves 
which may be 2 feet or more in length. The leaflets are small, giving a feathery effect to 
the whole plant. Small white flowers in July or August. A very effective shrub when 
properly used. Each

Berberis - Barberry 
BERBERIS thunbergi (Japanese Barberry). 3 to 4 ft. Low, compact shrub with horizontal or 
arched branches. Twigs thorny, making it ideal for an almost impregnable hedge when 
mature. If left unpruned it will develop into a graceful, mound-like plant. The small green 
leaves come out early in the spring, along with the small yellow flowers. The foliage takes 
on a brilliant orange-scarlet when in the open and the flowers are followed by brilliant 
red fruit which persists throughout the winter. Will grow in almost any location. 
Barberry mentorensis. See page §. 
Buddleia - Butterfly Bush 
There should be a place for these continuous summer-blooming shrubs around every home. 
Their long pointed spikes of various shades resemble a Lilac though they are in no way re- 
lated. Easy of culture. Often freeze to the ground unless protected, but will come back 
year after year. 
BUDDLEIA, Charming. Soft pink; very desirable.

B. thunbergi atropurpurea (Red /eaf Barberry). 3 to 4 ft. Resembles the Japanese Barberry f 
in growth, but the foliage is brilliant blood-red in spring. The color holds all summer in , 
sun, but in shady places it becomes a beautiful bronzy green. Its winter charm is en- 4 
hanced by red berries that remain until spring. Few shrubs attract so much attention, E 
or add so much color to a dull border. We consider it one of the best plants, and our stock * 
is strong and vigorous. f
