BRANCH DETAIL OF 
Viburnum Car [cephalum THE FINEST FRAGRANT SHRUB IN A DECADE 
The New Fragrant Snowball (Plant Patent No. 776) 
This is the famous and splendid Hybrid from V. Carlesi and V. mac- 
rocephalum, which originated in England just before the war. The origi- 
nator 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 six to seven feet high 
and can be pruned to any s ze 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 six inches across, rarely ever smaller 
than four inches. ether flattened or globular, mostly the latter. The 
flowers are exceedingly fragrant, rivaling its seed parent. 
[168] 
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 bril- 
liantly colored. 
This Hybrid was shown at the Royal Horticultural Show in London be- 
fore 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. 
We can supply three sizes: Each Three Doz.
