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.

 splendid shrub for mass planting.

This catalogue leaves nothing to the pur- 

 chaser's imagination about the size of the 

 stock we propose furnishing at the prices 

 given. Some nursery catalogues do. Isn't 

 it safer to buy where you know just what 

 you are going to get for the money you 

 have to spend?
