Shrubs—Continued 
BEAUTY BUSH (Kolkwitzia amabilis). The name fits it exactly, for it is graceful and lovely at all 
seasons, but especially so when entirely covered in May and June with charming belbshaped flowers 
of an enchanting shade of pink. Very desirable in foundation groups or informal borders. 4 to 6 feet 
high at maturity.

BUTTERFLY BUSH (Buddleia magnifica). A delightful addition to the summertime garden, its arching 
branches handsomely tipped with light purple blooms in July and August; fine fragrance. This 
beautiful Summer Lilac should be used in the border or perennial bed, the tops pruned back 
severely each season. 3 to 5 feet high at maturity.

DWARF DEUTZIA (D. gracilis). A charming little shrub, low growing, bushy, covered in May and 
early June with dainty white flowers. Excellent in foundation groups or edging the shrubbery border,

Butterfly Bush. 
Deutzia, Pride of Rochester. 
GOLDEN ELDER. The golden beauty of its fo' 
liage contrasts richly with the green of other 
shrubs; large, flat blooms soften the luster, and 
are followed by purplish berries. A handsome, 
hardy shrub, excellent for contrast or for massing. 
6 to 10 feet high at maturity, but can easily be 
kept trimmed back if desired. Plant in full sun¬ 
light. 
DEUTZIA CRENATA. Another favorite in landscape 
groups. Beautiful, double pink flowers thickly stud the 
graceful, upright branches in May. A delightful com' 
panion plant for the Pride of Rochester. 3 to 5 feet high 
at maturity.

Forsythia. 
Chilton, Wis. 
Dear Sir: Oct. 7, 1933. 
I have not" lost a shrub or plant 
in this year’s list. I bought 3 5 
Spireas, 4 Hydrangeas, 2 Crimson 
Crabs besides a lot of perennials. 
Sincerely yours, 
WM. F. MATZNICK. 
FORSYTHIA (Golden Bell). The first shrub to bloom in the spring—and what a bright spot 
it makes on the landscape! Beautiful, belbshaped flowers of rich golden yellow cover the 
bush before the leaves appear. Early spring will reward you handsomely if you set out three 
or four of the joyful Forsythia in the groups around your home. 6 to 8 feet at maturity, but 
it is advisable to keep trimmed somewhat.

JAPANESE FLOWERING QUINCE (Cydonia japonica). A long-time favorite in gardens. 
In May, often before the attractive glossy leaves appear, it is completely enveloped in clus¬ 
tered flowers of bright rose-crimson, looking almost as if it were ablaze, which sometimes gives 
it the name Firebush.’ It likes a sheltered, sunny place. In combination with Forsythia 
or early bloomers of that sort, its beauty is enhanced, while a background of evergreens will 
bring out its full charm. 3 to 5 feet at maturity.

Gentlemen: Sept. 21, 1933. 
Early in the spring I sent you an order for Hybrid Tea Roses. I believe there were 
some 12 or 15 and I am happy to say that I had a 100% growth. To date I have had 
175 perfect blooms. Ferris roses certainly grow. 
Respectfully, MRS. C. A. FRAZER.
