Viburnum- Snowball 
A Great Family of Flowering Shrubs 
Here are Some of the Very Best! 
Burkwoodi (New English Hybrid) 
Bushy plants, 3-4 ft. Each $6.00. Three $16.00. Doz. $60.00 
Bare root, 2-3 ft. Each $5.00, Three $14.00, Doz. $50.00 
A most amenable new shrub thriving in sunless places and smoky towns. 
Waxy blush-white and delicately perfumed, the flowers of this new 
Viburnum are prcduced in early spring when the leaves are unfolding. 
They form round, domed clusters, and the Gardenia-like fragrance is so 
sweet as to pervade a large area. The plant grows about 6 feet high 
and 4 to 5 feet in diameter. It likes a well drained location with plenty 
of moisture. This is a new medium sized shrub—a real aristocrat. For 
the small garden, where there is room only for the choicest shrubs, the 
one Viburnum above all others that should be grown is Viburnum Burk- 
woodi. Foliage brilliant in autumn, shiny dark green all summer. 
Carlesi Fach $5.00. Three $14.00, Doz. $50.00 
For many years this has been one of the most popular of early spring 
flowering shrubs; flowering when the Tulips are in bloom it spreads its 
fragrance throughout the garden. Just when the leaves are unfolding 
its globe-shaped flowers are at their best, waxy white and deliciously 
fragrant. It is hardy and easy to grow. When not in bloom its gray- 
green foliage is handsome. Beware, however, never to use any spray 
containing sulphur on or near this or any other Viburnums. Sulphur will 
produce black spots on the leaves and may defoliate the plants alto- 
gether. We send nice flowering plants about 2 to 3 feet high. 
Mariesi Each $3.00. Three $8.50, Doz. $32.00 
This variety is an improved form of Tomentosum. The plants do not 
grow quite as tali nor quite as fast (about 6 to 7 ft. when mature) 
but it blooms more profusely and while still young. When in flower 
this shrub is handsomer than the White Dogwood. If you have some lanky 
overgrown shrubs in your garden, replace them with V. Mariesi and 
we assure you that you will treasure this as one of the finest plants 
you possess. There is nothing finer! Becutiful flowers and _ foliage, 
brilliant red fruit, easy culture, hardy and free from bugs. We send 
plants about 3 ft. tall which already have flowered in the nursery. 
Opulus Nanum (The Hedge Viburnum) 
Each $1.10, Three $3.00, Doz. $10.00, 100 $70.00 
A dwarf, stubby plant never over two feet high, particularly well adapted 
for edgings and hedges in wet or heavy clay ground where it is difficult 
for other plants to thrive. Does well in light shade. It is extremely hardy. 
Can be clipped or left natural as desired, in either case it grows into a 
fine compact and low hedge which requires no care. 
Opulus Kanthocarpum (Golden-Fruited Cranberry Bush) 
Lach $2.50. Three $7.00, Doz. $25.00 
This makes a handsome bush 5 to 7 feet high. It is particularly attrac- 
tive from July to December after when its beautiful blossoms are re- 
placed by immense clusters of 1 -inch golden yellow fruits. The clus- 
ters of berries are many and heavy, and create a beautiful show against Viburnum Tomentosum 
the rich green foliage. The heavily fruited branches may be cut for 
indoor decoration. They combine stunningly with Gladioli, Dahlias, or Tomentosum Each §2.50. Three $7.00. Doz. $25.00 
Chrysanthemums. The clusters of fruits retain their beautiful golden !f all the other Viburnums were thrown into the discard, this one would 
yellow tint for six weeks or more. Easily grown, hardy as an Oak. May justify the family. It is a superb flowering shrub and the spectacle of 
be planted in fall or spring. The plants we ship are about 4 feet tall. a good Tomentosum in bloom is a sight not ever to be forgotten. In early 
June the hcrizontal branches become perfect mosaics of wheel-like 
: somes clusters ringed with dazzling white flowers, with spidery sunburst cen- 
Viburnum Mariesi ters, resembling a fall of snow. Ultimate height 8 feet. 
Tomentosum plicatum grandiflorum 
Each $3.00, Three $8.50, Doz. $32.90 
This new strain of the Japanese Snowball has its pure white flowers 
arranged in a perfectly round ball, 3 to 4 inches across. Its clean foli- 
age is quite similar to the Tomentosum. Much neater and in every 
way superior to the comomn Snowball which is usually covered w th 
aphids. It makes a commanding specimen and there are few shrubs 
handsomer than this when well grown.
