ROSE—AUSTRIAN COPPER 
This variety is the best of all the 
shrub roses. The flowers are intense 
coppery red on the top side while the 
underneath side is yellow. There is no 
shrub that is more attractive or causes 
more attention than this, when in bloom.

ROSE BLAND A, OR MEADOW ROSE 
A spreading type, without thorns.

abundance aof red berries. 2-3 ft., 60c;

RIBES ALPINUM 
(Mountain Currant) 
A desirable shrub of dense habit, un¬ 
folding very early its bright green fol¬ 
iage, adorned in summer and autumn 
with bright scarlet berries. It is one of 
the best shrubs to plant as an under¬ 
growth in shady places. Yellow blos¬ 
soms. 2 ft., 75c each. 
SHEPHERDIA ARCrENTEA. 
(Buffalo Berry) 
A tall hardy shrub withstanding ex¬ 
tremes of cold- and drouth. Its silver- 
gray foliage is excellent for contrast and 
the scarlet berries add a touch of color 
in late summer and autumn. Highly 
recommended. 2-3v ft. 75c each; 3-4 ft., 
$1.00 each. 
SPIREA 
All the Spireas bloom with a riotous 
extravagance; style, color and habits of 
growth differing so markedly that a col¬ 
lection of varieties will insure bloom the 
entire season and still evade repetition. 
Arguta. Upright, hardy shrub. Small 
light green leaves. Covered with single 
flowers in April-May. We consider 
this much better than the popular 
Vanhoutte except that it grows lower. 
2-3 ft. 75c. 
Billardi. Has dense spikes of rose- 
pink flowers that crown sparsely twigged 
erect branches. For shrubbery groups, 
natural plantings and moist places. July 
to September. 2-3 ft., 75c; 3-4 ft., $1.00 
each. 
Froebeli. Beautiful dark small foliage; 
dense rounded growth, and large rosy 
crimson corymbs of long blooming 
season but at its best in midsummer. 
More used for foundation plantings and 
low borders than any other. Small 
clumps, 50c each; medium clumps, 75c 
each; extra large clumps, $1.00. 
Latifolia. An upright narrow-leafed 
variety with cone-shaped pink flowers. 
Similar to the Billardi. 2-3 ft., 50c 
each; 3-4 ft., 75c each. 
Prunifolia. Narrow-leafed. Flowers 
small, pure white, produced in abund¬ 
ance on slender branches. 2-3 ft., 75c 
each. 
Sorbifolia. Long cone-shaped spikes 
of white flowers. Partial to slightly 
shaded situations—north side of build¬ 
ings ideal. 2-3 ft., 75c each; 3-4 ft., 
$1.00 each. 
Trichocarpa. (Korean Spirea.) A 
handsome new introduction favoring 
Van Houtte in character, but with in¬ 
teresting differences. The flowers are 
larger than Van Houtte, with a distinct 
eye, in dome shape clusters. These ap¬ 
pear a short space following the older 
Bridal Wreath, and thus prolong the 
showiness of this type. Thrifty in 
growth and perfectly hardy. 18-24 inch, 
60c each. 
Van Houtte. Commonly called Bridal 
Wreath. One of the best shrubs; com¬ 
plete fountain of pure white bloom in 
May and June. The foliage and bush 
shape is ornamental the vear round. 2-3 
ft., 50c; 3-4 ft., 75c; 4-5 ft., $1.00 each. 
SUMAC 
Rhus Typhina Laciniata (Cut-leaved 
Staghorn Sumac). The leaves are 
beautifully cut like a delicate fern and 
in fall assume the most brilliant colors, 
this combined with its showy clusters 
of crimson fruit makes it a most valu¬ 
able subject either as a single specimen 
or for mass planting. 2-3 ft., 50c; 3-4 
ft., 75c; 4-5 ft., $1.25. 
SAND CHERRY 
Prunug besseyi. A very desirable 
shrub in any planting. Many branches 
covered with glossy dark green leaves. 
In August the fruit ripens with many 
black cherries snuggling closely to the 
main branches. This fruit makes ex¬ 
cellent jelly. Chokecherry flavor. 2-3 
ft., 50c; 3-4 ft., 75c; 4-5 ft., $1.00 each. 
SNOWBERRY 
White. Inconspicuous, rose colored 
flowers in June and July; followed by 
large clustered, milk white fruits which 
remain far into winter. The combina¬ 
tion of pink flowers and white berries 
on the same twig is charming. Foliage 
is rounded, clean and fresh looking, a 
glorious green. 2-3 ft., 50c; 3-4 ft., 75c 
each. Extra large, $1.00 each. 
Red, Indian Currant. Similar to the 
Snowberry except that its fruits are dull 
red, and that the smaller berries cluster 
in thick ropes along the weighted-down 
stems. The foliage is small, close-set 
and dark, which with the uniform spread 
of its branches, compares favorably with 
the Privets in mass effect. 2-3 ft., 50c 
3-4 ft., 75c each.
