Three Gems from America’s 
Most Northerly Hardy 
Plant Gardens 
New and rare plants of unusual character have 
always found a hearty welcome in this nursery. Be- 
cause of the exacting requirements of our vigorous 
climate, only the sturdiest survive. Those that prove 
adaptable here, thrive most anywhere. We class 
the following shrubs and trees among the most 
meritorious of the recent acquisitions at Mt. Desert 
Nurseries. 
Lonicera Maacki podocarpa. This noble upright grow- 
ing form of Honeysuckle was first brought to The Garden 
Magazine Reader’s attention through the Wilson articles. It 
attains a height of from ten to fifteen feet, with a spread of 
equal dimensions. The tips of the highly ornamental foliage 
are of a curious shade of light bronze. Adorned by groups of 
scarlet berries late in the season. Well-grown plants$ 1.00 
each. 
Berberis Wilsonae. A most charming form of the newer 
Barberries, introduced by Mr. Wilson from the Chino-Thi- 
betan border. Has gracefully pendulant, twiggy branches, the 
gray green leaves of which assume beautiful tints in the fall. 
Yellow flowers are succeeded by loads of round brilliant salmon 
colored berries. Well-grown plants $1.00 each. 
Malus Sargentii. One of the handsomest of all the Flow- 
ering Crabs, of dwarf habit. Flowers pure white in im- 
mense numbers succeeded by a brjlliant display of fruits. 
One of the most beautiful shrubs in cultiv'ation. Strong 
plants $1.00 each. 
We also offer a most excellent lot of Rigida, Scotch and Austrian 
Pines in different sizes at fair prices. An inquiry will bring full particu- 
lars concerning any or all of above plants.

Unusual Catalogue of Unusual Plants 
Sent Free for the Asking 
Printed on-*antique paper, with i8 full-page illustrations, you will find 
the catalogue a delightful companion for a few interesting study hours at 
your fireside. While it is a complete index to all the rooted treasures at 
Mt. Desert, it does not attempt to convey what inbred qualities the 
plants will display in your garden. On this point we are willing to abide 
by your judgment. No climate is better qualified to produce hardier 
plants. No hardy plants receive more specialized attention than those 
grown at Mt. Desert. 
A copy of Mt. Desert Nurseries’ Catalogue is ready for every reader of 
The Garden Magazine. May we mail you yours? A postcard will do!
