The Tingle Nursery Co., Pittsville, Md. 1 



We do not know anything more suitable as a 

 start for our catalog than the following few 

 words used here last year, hence we repeat 



Little Plants For Little Money 



The value of a plant is not determined by its size, in- 

 variably. Of course, it may be so small as to be of no value 

 whatever. Many of us want a plant but cannot or do not 

 want to pay as much for it as a large one will cost, but ore 

 perfectly willing, and sometimes rather, v/oit for it to grow if 

 we can get a small one for less money. 



This is our thought in perparing this catalog. You will 

 find many new and rare plants offered herein that are impos- 

 sible to get in large sizes, and many more that are more 

 plentiful in the larger sizes but at a much higher price than 

 we are asking for these smaller ones. 



We are growing in our nursery larger plants than we ore 

 offering of a good many varieties. If interested in these larger 

 plants tell us what you want, we may have it. 



At last — A most beautiful Pink Ahelia 

 ABELIA Edward Goucher. Grows like Gror.diflora. The young 

 JL. shoots are quite reddish in color, the half evergreen leaves 

 ^ glossy green with less bronzy tinting than in Grondiflora. The 

 flowers ore about twice the size of Grandiflora and appear as a 

 clear Ulac-pink which is darkest on the back of the tube and 

 lightest on the inner face of the five lobes. There are yellowish 

 markings within the throat. Begins flo'-Arering in July and con- 

 tinues into September. Small plants 75c each, 3 for $2.00.
