var. Sieboldi. (M). Graceful upright habit. Al- 

 though similar in many respects to the other varieties 

 we have found this one to be more hardy. 



A planting of our shrubbery in the built-up portion 

 of a city suburb. This planting is decorative from the 

 street as well as the house and provides a shield against 

 the front door of the dwelling. 



Forsythia: Golden Bells 



Familiar hardy shrubs that burst into bloom as 

 Winter is leaving. The bright, golden yellow, star- 

 like flowers wrap themselves along the naked 

 branches in a wealth of bloom that is especially 

 bright and cheerful at such an early season. The 

 "Golden Bell" transplants easily, and is orna- 

 mental in leaf as well as flower. It is useful for 

 almost any purpose, but indispensable in groups 

 and masses. Flowers of all varieties are similar 

 in form and color. 



Forsythia intermedia. (L). April. Slender, 

 erect or arching branches; narrow leaves and 

 vigorous grower. Considered by many the best 

 variety of the popular Golden Bell family.

F. viridissima. (M). April. Erect shoots, 

 spreading branches and narrow, bright, glossy 

 leaves. This variety can be distinguished by the 

 bright green bark of the young twigs. On vigorous 

 growing plants the leaves are retained during early 

 Winter. This is a valuable quality, making it a 

 splendid shrub for mass planting.

The planting of trees and shrubbery is not an expense, for they enhance real estate values, 

 which makes their purchase a safe and sure investment. 



As soon as frost leaves in Spring the brilliant yellow 

 flowers of the Golden Bell glow along the leafless branches 

 of the Forsythia. See list of varieties and prices opposite.
