Deciduous and Evergreen Shrubs (Continued) 



HARDY SHRUBS 



Acer Palmatum Atropurpureum (Japanese 

 Blood-leaf Maple) — This variety, which is 

 really a dwarf growing tree, although it is 

 generally looked upon as a shrub, is ex- 

 tremely popular because of its striking ap- 

 pearance throughout the spring and early 

 summer months. Its foliage is quite rightly 

 described as "Blood-red"; in fact, foliage 

 of Japanese Blood-leaf Maples is more bril- 

 liant than that produced by any other va- 

 riety. 12 to 18 in., ^4.50; 18 to 24 in., 

 $6.50 each.

HARDY AZALEAS 



Azalea, J. T. Lovett 



Positively the most beautiful hardy Evergreen Azalea we have 

 ever seen. The flowers are produced in such great profusion as to 

 completely envelop the plant, and resemble, in size and make-up, 

 those of a fine Azalea Indica. They are rich, brilliant carmine-lake 

 in color. The plants are perfectly hardy and gave us a delightful 

 experience last winter by coming through in better shape than 

 any other variety of Evergreen Azalea, of which we grow quite 

 a number. Flowers during late June and July. 9 to 12 in., ^2.50; 

 12 to 15 in., ^3.00; 15 to 18 in., ^4.50; 18 to 24 in., ^7.50 each. 

 Amoena — A dense, dwarf growing shrub, with slender branches 

 and semi-double flowers of bright, cheerful rosy-purple, produced 

 in such great numbers as to literally envelop the bush in June. 

 The dense, box-like foliage, which is deep green with metallic 

 luster, renders it a charming plant all year. Bushy plants, 9 to 12 

 in., ^1.50; 12 to 15 in., ^2.25; 15 to 18 in., ^3.50 each. 

 Calendulacea (Flame Azalea) — Not an Evergreen variety, but one 

 of the best of all Azaleas. Of comparatively strong growth, attain- 

 ing an ultimate height of 6 or 8 feet if allowed to grow without 

 pruning. Produces flowers in great abundance during the month 

 of May and early in June, these flowers ranging from lemon-yel- 

 low to deep orange. This variety is one of the choicest of all 

 Hardy Shrubs. 18 to 24 in., ^2.50; 2 to 3 ft, ^4.00 each.
