Three Outstanding Plants of Exquisite Beauty 
Pink Flowering Dogwood 
(Cornus florida rubra) 
Though a single plant of the pink flowering Dogwood 
in full bloom is an unforgettable sight, to see a mass of 
these plants blooming, as the writer did one balmy spring 
day while driving in the outskirts of Erie, Pennsylvania, is 
something which makes one pause, gasping in astonishment 
and admiration. Nothing more lovely can be imagined. 
In general habit the pink flowering Dogwood resembles our 
native white form, which is universally acclaimed as one 
of the most beautiful plants in the world. It has the same 
fleecy cloudlike mass of flowers excepting only for the 
lovely pink color of the blooms. 3-4 ft., B&B plants, #2.25 
each. 
Pink Flowering Dogwood. 
Pink Flowering 
Chinese Magnolia 
(Magnolia Soulangeana) 
Glorious cup'shaped flowers four to five 
inches across, of the loveliest pink imaginable, 
blooming before the foliage appears in the 
spring. The foliage itself is massive and 
glossy and the plant is handsome throughout 
the season. Though it grows slowly it finally 
develops into a small tree. 2-3 ft., B&B plants, 
#4.00 each. 
These fine balled and burlapped 
plants will average around twenty- 
five pounds and cannot be sent 
by mail. 
Magnolia Soulangeana. 
Korean Snowball 
(Viburnum Carlesi) 
First there develops lovely pink buds which 
open into glorious clusters of pure white 
flowers, which remain fresh and clean for an 
unusually long time. While the plant is in 
bloom it gives off a delicate and delicious 
sweet scent. A medium sized shrub which 
seldom grows more than five feet, and blooms 
in May and June. 2-3 ft., B&B plants, #1.50 
each. 
Viburnum Carlesi.

Y OU remember that last fall we told you that the price of nursery stock must 
go up this spring. This didn’t mean that it should go up like a sky rocket and 
so far as we are concerned, we don’t intend that it shall.’ For the next few 
months a very moderate increase will be sufficient to pay for the increased labor costs 
and still enable us to handle our usual first class material. The “fly-by-nighter” who 
doesn’t expect to be here tomorrow can profiteer by unreasonably boosting his prices 
or cutting his quality'if he wishes. We, who have already been doing business for 
four generations, expect to be here for a long time to come, and we do not intend to 
risk our future for a mere temporary advantage. 
We do promise you, however, that we expect to raise prices again next fall to 
meet the rapidly changing conditions for the better.

CLIMBING ROSES 
m e( 
B ACK in 1930 when we propagated these Roses we guessed that we would 
need over ten thousand of them and that they would sell for 50c apiece 
or better. This miscalculation will cost us plenty. Obviously we cannot 
pay workers wages even with the highest quality of Roses so we will take our 
loss, give you the benefit of the best Rose bargain ever made and pay our men 
with cash.
