/ 

 •FORSYTHIA, Golden Bell 



Spring Glory (New). This new Forsythia is without question the loveliest of all the Golden 

 Bells. When seen in bloom it is a sight not easily forgotten. Its large, pale yellow flowers com- 

 pletely cover the branches in such masses that they literally bend with their weight. It would 

 not be far amiss to say that it produces twice the number of blossoms of the common Forsythias. 

 Further, the pale yellow color is very pleasing and brilliant, infinitely more attractive and cheerful 

 than that of the varieties now in general use. If you desire a brilliant and cheerful display in 

 your garden in early spring, plant a few Forsythia Spring Glory. There is nothing which will 

 make you forget winter as quickly nor announce spring as flamboyantly. 



Price, $2.00 each; $20.00 doz. 



Spectabilis makes a fountain-like growth. Every twig densely covered with golden yellow 

 bells. Height, 6 to 8 feet. Flowers in March or early April, before the foliage appears. 

 Price, $1.00 each; $10.00 doz. 



HYDRANGEA, Hardy Semi-Double 



Domotoi (New). This beautiful hardy variety produces large globe-shaped clusters of flowers 

 12 to 15 inches in diameter composed of immense semi-double flowers. Very frequently the main 

 stem produces 3 or 4 additional smaller bloom clusters below the main flower head, creating a 

 veritable bouquet. The flower heads are well above the foliage and last 8 to 10 weeks or more. 

 The color is pure pink on alkaline soil but will change to a magnificent light blue if the plant is 

 grown in acid soil. It grows into a stout plant 2 to 3 feet in diameter and about the same in 

 height , has healthy decorative foliage throughout the season, and last but not least it is one of 

 the hardiest of the Hydrangeas. No matter if all of last season's growth freezes back to the 

 ground, the blooms are produced on the new growth. An impressive, showy Hydrangea which 

 will grow in full sun or light shade. 



Price, $2.00 each; $20.00 doz. 



HYDRANGEA, Hardy, Shrubby 



Arborescens Grand-flora. The heads of flowers are snowy white. Begins to bloom in early

 with its grand panicles of large snowy-like flowers. 



Price, $1.50 each; $15.00 doz. 



Paniculata Grandiflora. This is the most popular hardy shrub in cultivation. Height, 8 to 

 10 feet. The flowers are white when first open, but change to pink and russet brown. They are 

 borne in immense pyramidal panicles, nearly a foot in length. It commences flowering in August. 



Price, SI. 50 each; $15.00 doz. 



♦ILEX VERTICILLATA, Winterberry

KOLKWITZIA AMABILIS, Beauty Bush 



A recent introduction from Asia, discovered by the late E. H. Wilson. Proclaimed the perfect 

 shrub. In early June its sprays of tiny foxglove-like blossoms transform it into a fountain of 

 pink loveliness. Attains a height of 6 feet. A valuable addition to every garden.

 Price, S1.00 each; $10.00 per doz. 



MALUS BECHTELI, Bechtel's Crab 



One of the loveliest of our dwarf-flowering trees. A robust, round-headed tree with double 

 pale-pink flowers about two inches across, delicately scented. Height, 15 to 18 feet. 



Price, $2.00 each; $20.00 doz. 

 POTENTILLA 



Gold Drop (new). A charming small shrub of such compact growth as to resemble a small 

 irregular shaped mound about 2 to lYi feet high. It is closely and densely covered with small 

 fern-like leaves and studded with intensely brilliant golden yellow buttercup-like flowers from 

 early June until October. This delightful small shrub may be used in front of the shrub border 



or in the foreground of any perennial planting. 



It does best in full sun and is hardy in below zero 



temperatures. The original plant was selected 



from the common Potentilla Fruticosa. It is far 



superior in both flowering qualities, habit and 



general appearance. We know of no shrubs which 



flower so consistently and remain so cheerfully 



brilliant throughout the entire summer and fall. 

 Price, $2.00 each; $20.00 doz. 



HYDRANGEA 

 DOMOTOI 



HEDGE PLANTS 



BARBERRY. (See description, p. 115) 



It is ideal as a hedge plant on account of its 

 dense bushy growth, also because it requires but 

 little pruning to keep it in shape.

 been tried for hedging, none can compare with this. 

 Of easy growth and splendid foliage; free from 

 insects.
