BUDDLEI 
Vase-Shaped Elm. This is another tree of our own propagation which 
we reproduce by grafting and budding, so as to retain the grace¬ 
ful form of the parent tree. It is a true vase-shaped tree. They 
are fast growers, all uniform in habit, and especially recommended 
for use in landscape and boulevard planting where grace, dignity, 
uniformity and rapid growth are desired.

ATTENTION 
If you want shade quickly plant Ulmus Pumila. This re¬ 
markable tree was introduced in 1908 by Frank N. Meyer, 
U. S. Government Agricultural Explorer, from near 
Peking, China. It is a fine case of the survival of the 
fittest, for it has maintained its existence through the 
centuries under the most adverse soil and climatic con¬ 
ditions. We recommend the Ulmus Pumila very highly. 
Beautiful! Fast Growing! Hardy! 
Deciduous Shrubs 
Everybody knows that shrubs are indispensable, whether on private places, in parks, or any 
grounds, and may be used in any situation, around porches, at the base of houses, at the en¬ 
trances, between trees and as backgrounds for perennial borders, or specimens; wherever planted, 
they always make handsome effects. 
Our assortment consists of all hardy varieties and is such that flowers may be had during the 
entire growing season together with the various colors of the bright yellow, brilliant red and somber 
shades of purple and variegated foliages. And the Winter effect in some of the shrubs is very strik¬ 
ing, especially so when they come in contrast with white snow, such as the Cornus with its red 
and yellow bark, the Barberry and Viburnums with their bright red berries that hang on the bushes 
during the entire Winter.

BARBERRY 
Box Barberry. A Thunbergi type but foliage so round and dense, and growth so evenly 
compact it bears a striking resemblance to Boxwood. Slower growing and more 
dwarfed than Thunbergi. Each Per 10 Per 100

thunbergi (Japanese Barberry). Neat and dense in growth. Graceful drooping habit, 
small bright green leaves changing to brilliant scarlet and gold in the Fall. The 
scarlet fruits last and keep their color well through the Winter. Unsurpassed for 
low hedges, borders of taller shrubs and planting around the base of buildings.

Thunbergi Atropurpurea (New Red-Leaved Barberry). It is similar in all respects to 
the green-leaved Japanese Barberry which was so popular, but the foliage of this 
new variety is of a rich, lustrous, bronzy red, becoming more brilliant and gor¬ 
geous throughout the Summer and in Fall changing to vivid orange, scarlet and 
red shades. In this coloring it is unequalled by any other shrub, and is followed 
by the same brilliant scarlet berries common to the type, which remain on the 
plant the entire Winter. In order to develop its brilliant coloring at all seasons it 
must be planted in full exposure to the sun. Each Per 10 Per 100
