New and Unusual Plants 
While all of the plants on this and the following pages are not new plants, they are 
every one really worth while and I am sure you will be delighted with them in your 
garden. While we are offering these plants as “New and Unusual” we do not mean 
that the plants on the other pages are not good plants also. They are and it may be 
that the old standard varieties will still be better in many cases than the newer ones. 
Our idea in making a special offering*of these plants is that they may be brought 
to your attention and thus be sure that you have the opportunity of trying them in 
your own garden. We are also growing many other items that are not listed in this 
catalog and if you want a: plant that we are not offering, write us, we may have it or 
be able to tell you where you may be able to get it. 
American Holly 
(Ilex Opaca) 
We think there is nothing prettier than 
our native American Holly, especially when 
it is full of bright red berries, although 
its bright glossy fcliage is beautiful all 
the year around. The plants we are offer- 
ing are either grafted or grown from cut- 
tings and are berry producing plants. 12 
inch pot grown plants 75c each. 18 to 24 
inch grafted plants B&B $2.50 each. 
Chinese Holly 
(Ilex Cornuta) 
This shrubby Holly is of slow growth, 
reaching a height of 6 to 8 feet, and the 
spreading branches form a thick head. The 
thick, bright, shiny leaves are tipped with 
three stout spines at the apex and usually 
are armed with two at the sides. Our 
plants are from cuttings and are from 
berry-bearing plants. Pot grown plants, 
8 to 10 inches tall at 75c each. 
Koster’s Blue Spruce 
(Picea Pungens Kosteri) 
Glorious in color, texture and shapeliness 
the Blue Spruce has few rivals. It is ex- 
tremely hardy, adaptab!e to nearly all cli- 
mates. Beautiful as a single specimen on 
the lawn, it is especially striking when 
planted with other evergreens where its 
rich color is brought out to perfection. Our 
plants are the true grafted Koster’s of 
extra blue color, of magnificent form as 
their thick branches climb in even layers 
from a broad base to a tapering crown, 
with heavy lustrous foliage reflecting the 
most glistening silver and blue tones. No 
wonder that everyone so admires the beau- 
ty of a real Koster’s Blue Spruce. Our 
price is especially low for this wonderful 
tree. .. 18-inch trees at $3.50; 2 to 3 feet 
trees at. $7.50 each. 
Franklinia Alatamaha 
(Gordonia Alatamaha) 
An exquisite tree indeed! It is most beau- 
tiful in its general landscape effect, with 
the first flowers opening in mid-August. 
The trees, even when very small, are a- 
bundantly starred with them until Jack 
Frost nips hard. The young leaves unfold 
a charming, delicate, bronzy red. At ma- 
turity they are 5 to 6 inches long by 1% 
to 2 inches wide, a rich dark green with 
red veining. In autumn the whole tree 
blazes with rich, warm color. The flower 
buds are balls covered with whitish green 
satin. When as large as marbles they un- 
fold. The guard petal retains its firm, 
spherical form, and from its shelter four 
other petals emerge. They are satiny 
snowy white, elaborately friled and pleat- 
ed. The snowy, frilly chalice, 3 inches in 
diameter and of piquant irregularity, holds 
a sumptuous mass of the richest orange- 
gold stamens and breathes forth a delicate 
balmy fragrance. Price 12 to 15 inches 
$2.50 each. 
Enkianthus Campanulatus 
A charming ornamental shrub, with 
drooping racemes of short yellowish or 
pale orange flowers, veined darker. These 
with the brilliant red foliage in autumn, 
make this one of the most handsome 
shrubs for the greater part of the year. 
Flowers in May. 2 to 3 feet $1.00 each; 
3 to 4 feet $1.25 each. 
Sargent’s Hemlock 
(Tsuga Canadensis Pendula) 
Sargent’s Weeping Hemlock makes a flat 
topped shrub with wide-spreading branches 
drooping at the tips. It seldon grows more 
than 4 or 5 feet high, but spreads to an in- 
definite extent, and is most beautiful at all 
times. Itis a slow grower and very scarce. 
18 to 21 inches at $2.50 each.
