! FLOWERING SHRUBS 
Viburnum 
Snowball 
The shrubs listed in this group will lose their leaves for a 
short time each year but never for long periods. They are the 
hardiest of shrubs, withstanding both heat and cold. In fact, 
their extreme hardiness makes them desirable for mountain 
homes. Others, because they are not large, can be used when 
definite height of growth is a consideration in the garden. 
Many produce showy flowers, without which the garden 
would lack much in interest and sparkle.
