The Brilliant New 

 Everblooming Climbing Honeysuckle 



Lonicera sempervirens magnified 



This new climbing Honeysuckle has been greatly admired by 

 all the visitors to our Nurseries. The vines have dark green 

 foliage with glaucous reverse. Blooms continuously from early 

 June until late October, every branch bearing a most attractive 

 and showy terminal truss of 15 to 20 flowers. It is the color of 

 the blooms however which gives this new variety its most out- 

 standing beauty. They are an intense showy orange-scarlet that 

 stands out beautifully from the green foliage. Strong plants: 50c 

 each; $5.00 per doz.

Buddleia, He de France 



New Butterfly Shrub 

 Buddleia, He de France 



For brilliance of color, grace of its flower 

 spikes, and uniform habit of growth, this 

 new Buddleia greatly surpasses all other 

 varieties in cultivation. The plants develop 

 into well-branched, symmetrical bushes 3 to 4 

 feet high. The individual flower spikes 

 measure 6 to 9 inches in length. They are 

 brilliant rosy purple with a violet suffusion. 

 Their fragrance adds another feature to their 

 beauty. We offer strong thrifty plants from 

 5 inch pots that will produce an abundance 

 of flowers this summer. 50c each; $5.00 

 per doz.; $40.00 per 100. 



Vitex macrophylla 



The Brilliant New Everblooming 



Climbing Honeysuckle — 

 Lonicera sempervirens magnifica 



Vitex macrophylla 



The Rare Chaste Tree 



Everywhere gardeners are looking for new 

 material to add better contrast and more 

 variety to their shrubbery borders. Vitex 

 macrophylla, the Rare Large-Leaved Chaste 

 Tree, gives such plantings added beauty to 

 a wonderful degree. It is a most desirable 

 hardy shrub of graceful, shapely habit 

 particularly valued for its lavender-blue 

 flowers — a color which is rather rare in 

 hardy shrubs. Blooms in July and continues 

 until frost. Succeeds in almost any position 

 and grows more than 6 feet high. Strong 

 2-year-old plants: 75c each; $7.50 per doz. 



Pyracantha 



(Crataegus) 

 Coccinea Lalandi 



Firethorn 

 or Evergreen Thorn 



(Illustrated on page 116) 

 There is no other evergreen shrub that is 

 so attractive throughout the year as this 

 fiery Thorn which grows more than 6 feet 

 in height. It succeeds well in a fairly sunny 

 position and may be planted as a single 

 specimen, in combination with other shrubs, 

 or trained against a wall where it will give a 

 wonderful effect. Its large trusses of white 

 flowers are followed in summer by an 

 abundance of bright orange-scarlet berries 

 which remain on the plants during the 

 winter. Field grown plants of Pyracantha 

 arc very difficult to transplant and the stock 

 we offer has therefore been grown in pots 

 and can be planted now with perfect 

 success. Strong 6 inch pots: $1.00 each.
