OAKLEAF HYDRANGEA 
Hydrangea Quercifolia 
This is the Aristocrat of the Hydrangeas, not to be confused with 
the common dooryard variety. Its large substantial leaves re- 
semble the oak leaf; attractive panicled blooms appear in early 
summer, and the autumn coloring is almost beyond description. 
Not hard to grow; only its scarcity has kept it in the background. 
The one shrub we recommend for that shadiest place, if not too 
dry. 12 to 15 in. 50c each; 18 to 24 in. 75c each. 
HEAVENLY BLUE VITEX 
Vitex Macrophylla 
Last summer and early fall no plant in our nursery created 
more favorable comment than this new, blue-flowering shrub. lts 
sprightly green foliage makes it a handsome plant even when not 
in bloom; the blooming period extends from late summer until cut 
down by frosts in October. More dwarf and hardier than the 
older Vitex agnus-castus; grows about 4 ft. high, and must be 
planted in the sun. 2 to 3 ft. plants $1.00 each. 
ROSE DAPHNE 
Daphne Cneorum 
A dwarf evergreen shrub which deserves its beautiful name. 
The rosy-lilac flowers have the fragrance of the Jasmine, making 
a lavish appearance in April and May, and on and off during the 
summer; the spreading branches leave a glossy-green trail. Pre- 
fers a sunny location in the Rock Garden, and well drained neutral 
soil. Extra heavy plants. 6 to 9 in. 75c each, 3 for $2.00. 
SWEET BAY OR LAUREL MAGNOLIA 
Magnolia Glauca 
The flowers resemble giant Gardenias in shape and fragrance, 
opening a rich cream color and gradually acquiring a pale apricoi 
tint. Unlike the Chinese Magnolias this excellent small shrubby 
tree (6 to 8 ft. in North, taller in South) blooms in the month of 
July. The rich glossy-green, almost evergreen foliage is glaucous 
beneath, giving the whole a silvery sheen. The beauty of the 
Laurel Magnolia continues throughout the year; in Autumn its red- 
jacketed fruit opens to the waiting Birds, and then until Spring 
again we see its cheerful apple-green stems. Thrives in any 
damp, sunny location. Hardy well grown plants. 12 to 18 in. 
60c each; 18 to 24 in. $1.00 each. 
LONG-CLUSTER GOLDENCHAIN 
Laburnum Vossi 
The Thrill of Thrills 
Just as the Lilacs are finishing it lets down it gorgeous yellow 
racemes, like flowing gold, and out of all proportion to the size 
of the plant. 
Commencing as a little tree studded with heavy buds Long- 
cluster Goldenchain soon branches out into a vase-shaped tree 
and ordinarily will not reach a height of over 12 ft. Plant it in 
a somewhat protected place, as an accent shrub or lawn tree like 
the Magnolia. 
This variety is hardier, the flowers larger than the common 
Laburnum vulgare. Because of being scarce and high-priced very 
few plants have been planted in this country—but it is an old 
favorite in Europe. 18 in. $1.00 each; 4 to 5 ft. $2.50 each; 5 to 
6 ft. $3.50 each. 
TAMARIX—SUMMER GLOW 
Hispida Aestivalis Rubra 
There is an ethereal touch of loveliness and grace about this 
magnificent red summer-flowering Tamarix. Even the light green 
foliage is most unusual and attractive resembling a very fine- 
leaved evergreen rather than deciduous foliage. It sets off beauti- 
fully the airy wine red flower spikes that appear all during the 
summer. Splendid everywhere and highly valued along the sea- 
shore as it is tolerant to salt air and wind. 75c each, 3 for $2.00. 
SERISSA FOETIDA 
An attractive small evergreen plant with miniature leaves of a 
dark green color bordered with cream variegations. A splendid 
house plant. 25c each, 3 for 60c.
