Let Mock Oranges Brighten 

 Your Lawn and Garden 



What more inspiring sight than a 

 well-grown specimen of Philadel- 

 phusor Mock Orange, with graceful 

 branches bending under loads of 

 snow-white, fragrant blossoms? 

 Philadelphus coronarius, shown 

 alongside, also called Sweet Syringa, 

 is but one of a remarkable group 

 of shrubs combining hardiness, at- 

 tractive foliage and free flowering 

 qualities in an extraordinary de- 

 gree. 



Besides P. coronarius we offer the 

 golden-leaved form, P. C. aureus; 

 Philadelphus Avalanche is a very 

 fragrant, but smaller flowered type; 

 P. Gordonianum is a late bloomer; 

 P. Grandiflora is of particularly 

 thrifty habit of growth. Price any 

 of above 5 kinds. 50c. each, $5.50 

 per dozen. Plant these NOW for 

 results next spring! 



We would also refer you to our 

 announcement in September Gar- 

 den Magazine, describing ten 

 flowering shrubs and offering one 

 each of ten kinds for $4.50 This 

 collection contains one Philadelphus 

 coronarius'

A Iter 



Mr. C. C. McKay 

 Geneva, N. Y. 



Dear Sir: 



I am enclosing a picture of a 



little tree that has made 



famous and the Mecca of scores 

 who could not believe the current 

 reports and hardly believe their 

 eyes, and without exception de- 

 clared they had never seen or heard 

 anything like it. 



The tree is a Dwarf Scarlet 

 Beauty Apple. It was set out 

 May 17, 1917 and is therefore 

 two and one half years old. In 1918 

 it had many blossoms but only one 

 apple was allowed to mature which 

 weighed seven ounces, a big one. 

 This year its second, it was loaded 

 with blossoms the most of which 

 were pinched off. It has matured 

 9 large perfect apples totalling 

 three pounds ten ounces in weight, 

 an average of six and one half 

 ounces each — almost uniform — of a 

 very deep rich scarlet color and 

 flavor like a Mcintosh Red. 



The tree is about knee high or 

 to be exact twenty six inches as 

 you will note by comparing it with 

 the yard sick in the picture. 



Very truly, 



B S. H.
