PYRACANTHAS 



NATURE'S SHOWPIECE 

 Evergreens of Outstanding Beauty 



PYRACANTHA C. LALANDI (Firethorn). The most hardy of all 

 Firethorns. It is an upright grower with white flowers in sum- 

 mer and large highly colored, orange berries from late summer 

 to late winter. Firethorns should be pruned annually for in- 

 creased berry production. They thrive on any well drained fertile 

 soil. 12 to 18 inch, $1.95 each; 18-24 inch, $2.95 each; 2 to 3 

 ft., $3.95 each; 3 to 4 ft., $4.95 each. 



RED BERRIED PYRACANTHA. There are many types of the 

 red berried pryacantha being offered and we have selected the 

 most hardy type we have observed. However, they will not stand 

 zero temperatures. The red berried type is more spreading than 

 the Lalandi. The clusters of bright, large, red berries contrasted 

 with glossy, evergreen foliage surely presents a striking appear- 

 ance. A beautiful sight when planted alone and in combination 

 with other pyracanthas or other shrubs. 12 to 18 inch, $1.95 

 each; 18 to 24 inch, $2.95 each; 2 to 3 ft., $3.95 each.
