A. Vaseyi. Carolina Azalea. Delicate shell pink. Most exquisite and delicate flower 

 of its season. Blooms early in May, the first of the family. We have grown tens of 

 thousands from seed and are just as proud of the achievement as of theOaks and 

 Pines. It used to be considered impractical to grow Azaleas from seed in this country. 

 You would be interested to see how little seedlings are started in peat and sand, and 

 transplanted to shady beds. You had better engage ten or fifty. 



6-in., transplanted, cut back. .$1.00 each, $7.50 per 10, $70.00 per 100 



1 ft. high $1.50 each, $12.50 per 10 



A. viscosa. Swamp Azalea. A vigorous shrub native on Long Island. Beautiful, 

 fragrant white and pink tinted flowers in June and July. We are fortunate in securing 

 big, broad clumps that will give you breadth and bulk at a low cost. As they are 

 available by the thousand you can use them for the bulk of your Azalea garden and 

 gradually increase the other varieties later. You can order a truck load for Winter 

 planting with Viburnum, Blueberry and other time and money-saving shrubs. See 

 page 31.

BERBERIS, Barberry 



Berberis is a genus of berry-bearing shrubs. Very widely used now for hedges. 

 There are a number of rare species that we are able to introduce from seeds secured 

 from Highland Park, Rochester. Those who wish to test out new plants can try a set 

 of these. There is no reason why they should not be extensively used on Long Island 

 in decorative planting and for birds. 



BERBERIS Regeliana. Kegel's Barberry. No other Barberry equals this in late 

 Summer and Fall. It has large, shiny leaves and showy, orange-red fruit. 

 iy 2 ft. high. 75c. each, $6.00 per 10 



B. heteropoda. In the Fall the dark blue fruits of this Barberry are covered with a 

 shiny bloom and hang in racemes, reminding one of a bunch of Grapes. Berberis 

 heteropoda grows 5-6 ft. high, of an upright habit. 



2- 3 ft. high $1.00 each, $7.50 per 10, $50.00 per 100 



B. Thunbergii. Japanese Barberry. For hedge plant 13^-2 ft. apart, because it 

 spreads thickly at the base. 



1 ft. high. 25c. each, $2.00 per 10, $18.00 per 100 



iy 2 ft. high. .40c. each, 3.50 per 10, 25.00 per 100

23^ ft. high, 4-6 ft. wide .50c. each, $4.50 per 10 



CALYCANTHUS floridus. Sweet Shrub. Strawberry Shrub. Many men coming to 

 the nursery try to rack their brains to think of some point of contact with plants. 

 They will ask you if you have any "shrub" with brown, fragrant flowers that they 

 used to tie up in the corner of their handkerchiefs. Fragrance has a stronger hold 

 upon memory than name or form. Here is an opportunity to plant a quantity of it, 

 for it has good green foliage and grows about 5 ft. high. 



3 ft. high 75c. each, $6.00 per 10. $50.00 per 100
