Jercis : Judas 

 or Red Bud 



Very early in Spring 

 the leafless branches 

 and twigs of these 

 small trees or shrubs 

 are clothed in a thick 

 m'-3t of delicate deep 

 pink flowers. Planted 

 among other early- 

 ^ 'ooming trees they 

 : roduce fine effects, 

 rhey are equally valu- 

 le for planting in 

 lOups or individ- 

 ally. Their radiant 

 iiower masses are fol- 

 lowed by glossy foliage. 



Geicis canadensis.

Japan Judas supplied by us for the grounds of the State Hospital 

 at Trenton, N. J. For description and prices see opposite. 



G. Japonica. Japan 

 Judas. (S). Early in 

 the Spring the beauty 

 of this plant is scarcely 

 surpassed by any other 

 shrub, due to the pro- 

 fusion of delicate pink 

 flowers which are lined 

 along each small twig. 

 The large, glossy, 

 heart-shaped leaves 

 make it almost as beau- 

 tiful during the Sum.- 

 mer months. More 

 dwarf than our Ameri- 

 can variety and the 

 flowers are of a more 

 brilliant shade of 

 pink.

Very bushy and fine 



Cornus. The Osier Dogwoods, or Cornels 



DOGWOODS are strong growers in almost any soil, and are hardy from the warmer parts of Canada 

 southward. They thrive nearly as well in shaded places as in the open ground. While the bush 

 forms are not remarkable for their flowers, they are especially valued for the brilliant coloring of 

 the bark, which is very attractive in the leafless months of Winter. Many varieties are indigenous through- 

 out the United States and are particularly suited for mass planting or natural effects. Good for decorating 

 along streams or for moist soils. The cut at top of page 66 illustrates the general effect presented 

 by the leaves and flowers of most varieties.

var. gouchaulti. (S). Beautiful variegated 

 foliage. The foliage is so conspicuous that it in a 

 degree compensates for lack of flower display in 

 mid-Summer. In Winter the bright red branches 

 are conspicuous and attractive.

G. Mas; syn. mascula. Cornelian Cherry. 

 (L). April. Yellow flowers that are very orna- 

 mental. Bright scarlet fruit in Autumn. The ex- 

 tremely early flowers of this variety cause its fre- 

 quent use in large quantities where an early Spring 

 effect is sought, and brilliancy of the fruit is another 

 attraction.
