Koelreuteria paniculata 



(Varnish Tree) 



A small, round-headed tree from China, with 

 large, pinnate leaves: conspicuous on account of 

 its brilliant golden blossoms, which are produced 

 the latter part of July, when few, if any, trees are 

 in bloom. Strong, 2-yr. trees, 25 cts. each, S2.25 

 per doz. 



LigUStrum (Privet for Hedging) 



Ovalifolium 1 California Privet 1. Widely known 

 as a hedge plant. It is a vigorous grower everywhere, 

 endures the unnatural condition of cities and is one 

 of the best shrubs for hedge planting. The half- 

 evergreen, glossy foliage and pure white flowers in 

 July make it an ornamental shrub that is generally 

 useful. It is a rapid grower under all conditions, has 

 handsome, glossy foliage that lasts well into winter, 

 and withstands any amount of trimming. Our stock 

 has been cut back so that now it consists of low- 

 branching plants of dense growth which produce 

 hedges that are not broken at the bottom. These 

 plants of dense growth and splendid roots are not 

 inferior to any. If you are intending to plant a 

 hedge, you should by all means use such plants. 

 10- to i2-in.,2-yr. plants, Si. 25 per 100, Si o per 1,000; 

 12- to 18-in., 2-yr. plants, Si. 50 per 100, S12.50

Lagerstroemia Indira 



(Crape Myrtle) 



Too much cannot be said in praise of this beauti- 

 ful, deciduous Indian shrub. The masses of flowers 

 are profusely borne from spring until autumn on 

 small as well as large plants. A splendid plant for 

 bedding out in the North, where it gives perfect 

 satisfaction, even though it dies out in the winter in 

 cold sections. It will spring up from the roots in the 

 spring, and give an abundance of blooms all through 

 the late summer. We have some very fine plants, 

 strong and bushy. 18 to 24 in., 50 cts. each.
