HARDY FLOWERING SHRUBS 



Those marked * may be planted in a shady place. 

 ♦PHILADELPHIA, Mock Orange 



Very desirable free-blooming shrubs of erect habit and easiest culture in any common soil. 



Belle Etoile (new). The milky-white flowers are most unusual in that they have a conspicuous 

 light Purple blotch in the center. For fragrance, very little more can be asked than the perfume 

 watted through the garden by tins lovely bush. It's a vigorous but neatly growing slirub. de- 

 velops with age into a good looking plant of about 5 feet in height. It is one of our last importations 

 trom r ranee, and a few years ago received the Award of Merit from the Royal Horticultural Society. 



Price, $2.50 each; $25.00 doz. 



Innocence (new). The long arching branches carry a wealth of large single alabaster white 

 nowers. bo heavily loaded with flowers are the slender branches as to assume the appearance of 

 sneaves of bloom. They are of such purity of whiteness as to make all other Mock Oranges seem 

 gray by comparison. The fragrance is delightful, more delicate, yet more penetrating than that 

 ot Jasmine. There is no doubt or question as to the superb quality of this shrub. Its flowers are 

 so intensely white, one constantly marvels at its ethereal effect. A "must" in every garden. Ulti- 

 mate height about 6 feet. 



Price, $2.50 each; $25.00 doz. 



Virginal. Flowers are semi-double, two inches across; very prolific; delightfully fragrant. Main 

 crop of flowers is produced in late May and June, and a scattering of blossoms throughout the 

 summer. Very vigorous. Height, 6 to 8 feet. 



Price, $1.00 each; $10.00 doz. 



POTENTILLA 



Gold Drop (new). A charming small shrub of such compact growth as to resemble a small ir- 

 regular shaped mound about 2 to 2]4 feet high. It is closely and densely covered with small fern- 

 like leaves and studded with intensely brilliant golden yellow buttercup-like flowers from early 

 June until October. This delightful small shrub may be used in front of the shrub border or in the 

 foreground of any perennial planting. It does best in full sun and is hardy in below zero tempera- 

 t ur ^s. The original plant was selected from the common Potentilla Fruticosa. It is far superior in 

 both flowering qualities, habit and general appearance. We know of no shrubs which flower so 

 consistently and remain so cheerfully brilliant throughout the entire summer and fall. 



Price, $2.00 each; $20.00 doz.

TAMARIX 



Summer Glow. For sheer grace and beauty, there is no flowering shrub that can compare 

 with the lovely Tamarix. The dainty lace-like silvery blue-green foliage is surmounted throughout 

 the Summer with airy sprays of rosy red flowers which are admirable in the garden and superb 

 for cutting. This Tamarix combined with Gypsophila is most charming in Summer table arrange- 

 ments. Summer Glow is perfectly hardy, it thrives well in poor or light sandy soil and it is one 

 of the few shrubs that is not injured by Saline Spray at the Sea Shore. When fully matured, it 

 will attain a height of eight feet, but can be easily kept down to five or six feet by pruning. Price, 

 strong 2-year-old plants. 18 to 24 inches high, $2.00 each; $20.00 per doz. 



VIBURNUM 



Burkwoodi. Waxy blush-white and deliciously fragrant, the flowers of this new fragrant 

 Viburnum are produced in early spring when the leaves are unfolding. They form round, domed 

 clusters, and the gardenia-like fragrance is so sweet as to pervade a large area. The plant grows 

 about 4 feet highland 5 to 6 feet in diameter. It likes a well drained, sunny place, with plenty of 

 moisture throughout the season. This is a new jewel for the garden — a real aristocrat. For the 

 small garden where there is room for only the choicest shrubs, the one Viburnum above all others 

 that should be grown is Viburnum Burkwoodi. Foliage brilliant in autumn and persists till late 

 winter. In the southern states, it is semi-evergreen. Price, $3.50 each; $35.00 doz. 



Plicatum, Snowball. The pure white, perfectly round 3 to 4-inch balls, produced in great 

 quantities during June, above the artistically wrinkled foliage, make it one of the choicest — 

 one of the most popular. In all, a very commanding specimen. Height, 8 to 10 feet. 



Price, $1.00 each; $10.00 doz. 



*WEIGELA, Diervilla 



There is no shrub more deservedly popular. All of the varieties are very ornamental and should 

 be found in every collection. 



BRISTOL RUBY (Plant Patent 492) 



It makes a shapely, thrifty plant with attractive rich green foliage. Color is a soft ruby red 

 shading to garnet crimson; extremely pleasing in effect and without harsh tone. Attaining a 

 height of 6 to 7 feet at maturity, it makes a perfectly formed, well-rounded specimen requiring 

 very little pruning because it flowers well from old wood; no die-back or uneven growth at any 

 time. It has been widely tested, and has proven perfectly hardy. Excellent reports from Vermont 

 and other difficult regions, fully substantiate our own estimate of its unusual hardiness. 



Price, $1.50 each; $15.00 doz.
