POTENTILLA, JACKMAN'S 

 VARIETY. One of the most re- 

 warding of the summer shrubs, for 

 it blooms constantly all summer 

 and up to frost. Hundreds of 

 brilliant yellow flowers looking 

 much like small single roses, cover 

 the hardy, disease-free bush. The 

 plant is compact, well rounded, 

 fully foliaged, and makes a splen- 

 did low hedge plant or specimen. 

 Grows well in sun or partial shade 

 and in ordinary garden soil — so 

 you see it's something of a fool- 

 proof marvel. Its extreme hardi- 

 ness is due to the fact that it is a 

 native of Manchuria and North- 

 ern China. There are a number of 

 varieties — but this is the best. 

 15 to 18-inch plants, $2.95 ea.; 

 2 for S5.25.

WISTERIA, BLUE 



DOGWOOD 



CHEROKEE 



CHIEF 



DOGWOOD. CHEROKEE 

 CHIEF. Plant Pat. 1710. Excit- 

 ing new color in dogwoods — a 

 beautiful red. Actually, it's a 

 4-way beauty . . . beautiful bloom 

 and foliage, beautiful berries, 

 beautiful red twigs in winter. It's 

 a spectacular plant, blooming 

 profusely and malving a wonderful 

 show. As a small tree, Cherokee 

 Chief is hard to beat — as a shrub, 

 it's outstanding. I, personally, 

 am fond of all dogwoods, and 

 often go out of my way to see a 

 particularly fine one in bloom, or 

 a massed planting of them as at 

 Valley Forge, Pennsylvania, in 

 spring. Naturally, 

 when Cherokee Chief 

 came along, I had to 

 have a few for my 

 place, so I spotted a 

 half dozen of them 

 where they could be 

 seen from the win- 

 dows. Beautiful! And 

 this coming spring, 

 they should be better. 

 Looks good alone or 

 several together. 

 Plant a couple this 

 spring. 24-inch 

 trees, S4.95 ea.; 2 

 for $8.50. 



SPIREA JAPONICA COCCINEA. Rich crimson-red beauty is yours 

 in abundance with this attractive shrub. It will grow to 30 to 36 inches 

 in height at maturity, providing a mass of bright color from the ground 

 up. Hardy and trouble-free, Spirea Japonica Coccinea is a variety which 

 does not need hard pruning each year to keep it under control. It is 

 graceful in habit and its foliage clothes it aljundantly and beautifully. 

 Incidentally, it goes nicely with the white Spirea Snowmount illustrated 

 below at right. $2.95 ea.- 2 for S5.25. 



HARDY, FLOWERING PLANTS LIKE THESE 

 GIVE YEARS OF GARDENING PLEASURE 



WISTERIA, WHITE or BLUE. (When ordering, be sure to specify the 

 color you want.) If you've ever admired the gracefully hanging flowers 

 of Wisteria vines and pic- 



tured one spreading its beauty 

 im your own wall, porch or 

 Irellis, you are in good com- 

 pany; for this is doubtless 

 the most universally liked 

 vine of them all. Two of the 

 most popular colors are blue 

 and white. Both kinds pro- 

 duce long flower clusters, as 

 in the illustration at left, said 

 both provide massive color 

 effects. Be sure to select a 

 location which gets eis much 

 sun as possible — a necessity 

 for the fullest bloom. Also 

 make certain that they get 

 fertilizer in fall after the 

 leaves have dropped — and 

 not in spring or summer — if 

 you want flowers instead of 

 just woody vine. Wisterias 

 are sometimes slow to show 

 growth when newly trans- 

 planted. Give them time. 

 Water the roots deeply. 

 They'll grow when they're 

 ready. Blue Wisteria or 

 WTiite Wisteria. $1.95 ea.; 

 2 of same color for $3.50.
