BRAND’S ORNAMENTAL SHRUBS 
Ornamental Shrubs 
Forsythia. 
BUTTERFLY BUSH (Budd- 
leia or Summer Lilac). 
Quite recently-introduced, 
this shrub grew almost 
immediately into public 
favor. A semi-herbaceous 
plant. In some latitudes, 
where the winters are se¬ 
vere, it dies almost to the 
ground; then the tops 
must be cut down in the 
spring to within 4 inches 
from the ground. A new 
growth begins at once and 
by summer the bush is in 
full bloom. We advise cov¬ 
ering the roots as winter 
approaches, using leaves 
or coarse litter. It blos¬ 
soms the first season from 
mid-June until frost. The 
blossoms are borne on 
long, graceful stems 
which terminate in taper¬ 
ing panicles of lilac-color¬ 
ed flowers, resembling the 
bloom of the lilac. The 
flower head is often ten 
inches long and the bloom 
so profuse that the entire plant 
ALMOND, Double Flowering Pink. A beautiful 
May-flowering shrub that grows four feet 
high. Should be planted in a sunny place.

pink. Very showy. In bloom just before 
Prunus Triloba. 18 to 24 in., 35c; 3 to 4 ft., 
50c. 
BARBERRY, Red Leaved. (Not subject to rust 
that injures wheat). Except in the color of 
leaves, this is similar in all respects to the 
green-leaved Barberry Thunbergi, of which 
it is a sport. Starts out in the spring with 
foliage a bronzy red, which does not fade as 
the heat of summer advances but becomes 
more brilliant in coloring. Where exposed to 
the full sun, in which it revels, it becomes a 
true red. The foliage stays on far into the 
fall, taking on different shadings as frosts 
touch the leaves. Red Leaved Barberry car¬ 
ries its red berries through the winter. Nice 
12 to 15 in., each 35c; 10 for $3.00. 
BARBERRY THUNBERGI (Japanese Barber¬ 
ry). Not subject to rust. One of the best

ing under all conditions. Slender, graceful 
branches with fine, bright green foliage, turn¬ 
ing to brilliant crimson and orange in the 
fall. Scarlet berries stay on almost all win-

pear, it is covered all over with large, bright pink blooms. Strong, 2 to 3 
ft., each 75c. 
CORNUS LUTEA GOLDENTWIG. The bark of this Cornus is a bright, rich, 
golden yellow, which makes it a most desirable shrub both for specimen 
and hedge work. In the winter the striking color of the bark livens up 
the whole planting. Beautiful for a winter hedge. 18 to 24 inch, 30c; 25 or 
more at 25c.

common American Elder in appearance, except the color of the leaves 
which are beautiful bright gold from their first appearance in the spring 
until they drop in the fall. The best of our golden leaved shrubs. The 
Golden Elder is the best shrub to plant for a golden effect. The color is 
a soft tone of yellow, of which one never tires. 2 to 3 ft., each 50c; 
6 for $2.50.
