Viburnum Coe 
(Plant Patent No. 776) 
This is the famous and splendid Hybrid from V. Carlesi and 
VY. macrocephalum, which originated in England just before the 
war. The originator turned this wonderful shrub over to Wayside 
Gardens for introduction in this country. 
It is absolutely hardy and has gone through several winters here 
in Mentor with temperatures as much as ten degrees below zero. 
It is of branching habit and quick growth, growing about 6 to 7 
feet high and can be pruned to any size or shape desired. Does 
equally well in acid soil or those which are alkaline. 
It is a most profusely flowering shrub with large cymose clusters 
of blossoms which may be as much as 6 inches across, rarely ever 
[8] 
smaller than 4 inches, either flattened or globular, mostly the latter. 
The flowers are exceedingly fragrant, rivaling its seed parent. 
It is a deciduous shrub and carries a wealth of foliage. The 
leaves are practically identical with those of V. Carlesi but in the 
autumn are brilliantly colored. 
This Hybrid was shown at the Royal Horticultural Show in Lon- 
don before the war where it received the highest awards and praise. 
It has taken quite some time to test it here in Mentor and we claim 
without reservation that it is one of the finest spring flowering 
shrubs we have ever seen.
