Other Leading Varieties 



BUSH ARBUTUS (Abelia grandiflora). One of our most beau- 

 tiful, popular and satisfactory Broad-Leaved Evergreens. The 

 graceful, drooping stems and branches are covered with dark, 

 glossy leaves, which in winter assume a metallic sheen. From 

 the middle of June until frost, this plant produces an immense 

 quantity of tubular-shaped white flowers tinged with pink, about 

 an inch long, which are borne in clusters. For single specimen, 

 for groups or for a hedge, we cannot too strongly recommend this 

 plant. Grows satisfactorily under shady locations.

Trees for Shade and Beauty 



To appreciate the value of trees, one has only to compare the 

 comfort and beauty of suburban avenues on hot summer days, 

 with the barrenness and glare of downtown city streets. For the 

 street or a specimen planted in the home grounds they perform a 

 real service to man in the beauty they furnish, and protect him 

 from the rays of the summer sun.
