Flowering shrubs screen and beautify 
FRENCH LILACS. Hardy improved 
varieties that bloom second year after 
planting. These hybrid types give a 
most delightful variety in color. 18 
to 24 in., 35c each. Following are the 
best varieties: 
L., Charles X. A strong growing bush 
producing large heads of reddish 
purple bloom. One of the best. 
L., Madame Lemoine. Large pure white 
double flowers. 
L., President Grevy. Clusters of large, 
double blue flowers. 
LILAC, Persian Purple. Blooms a 
good deal more than the common, 
and has smaller leaves. Does not 
sprout from the roots. Beautiful pur¬ 
ple flowers. The bush makes a fine 
hedge where height is wanted. 18 to 
24 in., 20c each. 
NEW RED-LEAVED BARBERRY. A 
boon for all types of landscaping, 
this variety starts its very first foli¬ 
age a warm bronzy red, becoming 
more brilliant with the summer heat. 
Abundance of scarlet berries 
throughout winter. 12 to 15 in., 20c 
each; 15 to 20 in., 25c each. 
SHRUBS—Continued. 
Weigela, Eva Rathke. 
P. triloba (Rose of China). A double flower¬ 
ing Plum and a very hardy and vigorous 
grower. Very early in the spring, before 
the leaves appear, it is completely covered 
with double pink blossoms. Foliage is deli¬ 
cate and makes the shrub attractive, even 
after the flowers have disappeared. 2 to 3 
ft., 35c each. 
QUINCE, JAPANESE. Very showy and one 
of the earliest shrubs to bloom, the flowers 
appearing before the leaves are fully de¬ 
veloped, the brilliant scarlet flowers giving 
the bush a most attractive appearance. Very 
hardy and easily transplanted. Grows 5 to 
6 feet tall. 18 to 24 in., 20c each. 
REDBUD. This is the little native woodland 
beauty that gives such cheerfulness in early spring 
with its lovely pink, pea-shaped blossoms before 
the leaves unfold. Grows 15 to 20 feet high. 
2 to 3 ft., 50c each. 
SNOWBALL. Grows into a magnificent high bush, 
with upright branches and handsome foliage. It 
forms one of the most impressive sights of early 
summer, when its pure white, four-petaled flow¬ 
ers, borne in showy balls, are in bloom. Hardy. 
18 to 24 in., 25c each. 
PRUNUS, Newport (Purple-Leaved 
Plum). Often called the most beau¬ 
tiful of all small trees or large shrubs. 
Showy foliage opens up red color, 
turning to dark purple. Retains these 
striking colors throughout the sum¬ 
mer. Delicate white flowers almost 
cover the shrub in the spring. Very 
hardy. In our judgment the best of 
all red foliage shrubs. 2 to 3 ft., 35c 
each.
