New Hardy Azalea amoena coccinea 



This gem is equally as hardy as Azalea amoena but 

 the coloring is even more intense than the brilliant 

 fiery red variety Hinodegiri which we believe it will 

 displace when it becomes better known, — both as an 

 outdoor plant as well as for forcing.

 per 100.

Buddleia He de France 



The Outstanding Plant 

 Novelty of 1933 



This new variety of Buddleia, a French intro- 

 duction, will quickly replace the older varieties 

 of this Shrub which have been popular for so 

 many years, because it is superior, not only in 

 its brilliant coloring but the flower spikes are 

 longer and more graceful. The plants also are 

 of a better, more uniform shape. 



The plant attains a height of from 3 to 4 

 feet, forming a symmetrical, bushy shrub. Every 

 branch is terminated by a graceful, cylindrical 

 spike 6 to 9 inches long. The fragrant flowers 

 are brilliant rosy violet-purple. In bloom from 

 the latter part of July to late in September.

 100. 



3-inch pots, $2.00 per doz.; $15.0O per 100. 



Cotoneaster 



Very ornamental Shrubs with decorative fruits re- 

 maining usually throughout the winter. The dwarfer 

 varieties are nearly evergreen and while especially 

 adapted for rockery plantings are equally effective 

 planted In clumps in front of the shubbery border or 

 mixed with the dwarfer broad leaved evergreens. 



Francheti. Tall upright densely branched Shrub with 

 spreading branches. Fruit orange-red; semi-ever- 

 green. 



Henryana. Half evergreen tall growing variety with 

 bright red fruits.

 zontal branches. Small shiny green leaves and

 of the most effective evergreen plants for rockery 

 or border planting.

 leaves and bright red berries. 



Salicifolia floccosa. A large growing shrub of grace- 

 ful habit and willow-like foliage, bright red fruits 

 extending well along the branches.

COc each; $6.00 per doz.
