Flowers on the place from spring straight through to 

 winter is pretty much the goal of every homeowner. 

 As I see it, this goal is easy to attain with that most versa- 

 tile group of plants — the flowering shrubs. On these and 

 the following two pages are some of the more beautiful, 

 more carefree, more distinctive kinds — all carefully selected 

 by us for your consideration here. They grow easily with 

 little or no attention, and give you color and pleasure year 

 after year. They add to the beauty as well as the value 

 of your home surroundings. I recommend them heartily. 



TAMARIX, PINK CASCADE. Plant Pat. 1275. Flesh- 

 pink flowers come in cascades in late summer when few 

 other shrubs are in bloom. Its unusual spiky branches are 

 interesting in themselves. Very resistant to wind and salt 

 air, it can be planted anywhere. This is an introduction 

 from England — a plant not everyone has, but which every- 

 one will like. I have two of these at home and I've watched 

 them develop from lacy green to lacy pink beauty wth the 

 greatest of interest. They intrigue my neighbors, too! 

 2-year plants, §1.95 ea.; 2 for $3.50. 



CARYOPTERIS, BLUE MIST 



e<d<nicd FLOWERING SHRUBS 



CARYOPTERIS, BLUE MIST. This low-growing 

 shrub (Hardy Spirea) is another summer and fall flow- 

 ering beauty. From August until autunm, it is covered 

 with clusters of powder-blue, fringed flowers. The 

 plant ranges from 18 to 24 inches in height and makes 

 a small mound about 2 feet across. Foliage is silver- 

 green. Plant Caryopteris in the flower border or in 

 front of shrubbery where its fine blue flowers show 

 themselves to advantage. This is a rare color in fall. 

 2-year plants, §2.50 ea.; 2 for §4.50. 



VIBURNUM CARLCEPHALUM (Fragrant Snow- 

 ball). How would you like to have in spring a bush 6 to 

 7 feet high loaded with white blooms like this, each as 

 fragrant as can be and from 4 to 6 inches across. Then 

 plant Viburnum Carlcephalum, an introduction from 

 England where it won awau-ds and praise. A quick, 

 branching grower, it can be pruned to any size and 

 shape; does well in both acid and alkaline soils. Very 

 hardy, too. Its fine foliage is highly colorful in fall, 

 beautifully green in spring and summer. 15 to 18-inch 

 plants, S4.00 ea.; 2 for $7.50.

DE ROTHSCHILD AZALEAS. If you have never seen a 

 De Rothschild Supreme Hybrid Azalea, it will be difficult for 

 you to imagine their beauty. The picture gives you only the 

 glimmer of an idea! If you have never heard the story of their 

 creation by England's Lionel de Rothschild at his Exbury estate 

 near Southampton, you will be the more fascinated by what years 

 of effort and barrels of money have produced for your garden 

 enjoyment today. You will want to own at least one of these 

 marvelously colorful plants. 



De Rothschild Azaleas are a new race created by one of England's 

 keenest and most painstaking plantsmen — a wealthy man who 

 devoted 25 years to the development of azaleas with colors never 

 seen before in this plant . . . soft pastels to deep yellows and 

 fiery reds and oranges. As the years went by at Exbury, this 

 dedicated man collected more than 150 acres of azaleas and 

 rhododendrons, the most famous collection anywhere. The plants 

 we offer here were developed at Exbury. De Rothschild Azaleas 

 are very hardy, upright growing, deciduous plants, more like 

 Mollis Azaleas but much improved in size of bloom and vigor of 

 bush. Blooms come in large trusses. These azaleas are not suit- 

 able for growing in the Deep South. They will stand full sun 

 but grow best in half shade. 



De Rothschild Supreme Hybrid Azaleas come in mixed colors 

 only . . . new colors in America. Please don't £isk for specific 

 colors. Large, sturdy, 12 to 15-inch plants $7.00 ea.; 2 for 

 .S12..50.
