JUJUBE 
Beautiful Emerald Euonymus 
The variety EMERALD GAIETY (Plant Pat. 
1960) is an outstanding member of the distin- 
quished Emerald collection of evergreen Euony- 
mus. These plants are extremely versatile and 
can be used to create an infinite variety of beauti- 
ful patterns and designs for the garden. They are 
very easy to trim and shape, and are perhaps the 
best for sculpturing into pyramids, globes, squares 
or columns. Magnificent in their natural form, too. 
Emerald Gaiety grows to 4 to 5 feet tall and 3 feet 
_ wide—a solidly substantial evergreen shrub with a 
wealth of variegated foliage in white and green. 
Our 10 to 12-inch plants have rugged roots and are 
strong growers. You'll find a delight in these that 
will last. $3 ea.; 2 for $5; 6 for $14.

Pick Luscious Fruit From Your Own 
CHINESE DATE TREE 
The Chinese Date Tree (Jujube zizyphus) is easy to grow—fun, too. 
Step into the garden and pick fruit to eat out of hand, or to make 
jam or candied confections. For centuries in North China, the 
Jujube has been one of the chief producers of fruit . . . now this 
interesting, fruiting, ornamental tree is available for gardens here. 
The tree is fast-growing, very erect in form, covered from spring to 
fall with lacy, bright green foliage, making a handsome ornamental 
tree. It grows easily in almost any type of soil and is hardy any- 
where in the country except in the extreme northern states. It has 
withstood temperatures of 22 degrees below zero. You'll have fruit 
the first year after planting, and after that loads of it each year 
(the Jujube is a rich bearer). The fruit is 2 inches or more long, 
deep brown in color, and sweet and crisp to eat. It ripens in late 
August through September. The tree grows best and bears most 
heavily in areas where summer heat is high. Our trees are grafted 
stock (not the young seedlings sometimes offered that produce olive- 
size fruits of pit and skin) and are sturdy plants 5 to 6 feet tall. They 
produce fruits that are plump and meaty, about 2 inches long and 
1 to 1% inches thick. You'll en- 
joy the fruit . . . you’ll enjoy the 
beauty of this ornamental tree 
... you'll enjoy showing your 
friends this ancient and inter- 
esting fruit tree from Asia. 5 to 
6-ft. trees, $8 ea.; 2 for $14.
