Red Leaf Plum 
RED LEAF PLUM (Improved Newport). A very desirable tree to use in 
a planting where a red-leaved tree is wanted. This is the hardy red¬ 
leaved tree sent out by the Minnesota Fruit Breeding Farm. A slow- 
growing tree of great refinement The leaves are smooth and richly 
colored a very bright red, which is held all through the season. 
Splendid to use as an occasional large bush among other shrubs. 
Best of all the red-leaved trees for the North. Hardy in Minnesota. 
This is a vast improvement upon the Newport as first sent out. 
The leaves are much redder. It is a very fine selection from the 
Newport and keeps its intense brilliant red all summer. Nice to 
plant in clumps of three or more. 3-4 ft., 60c; 4-5 ft., $1.00. 
Flowering Cherries 
The Beautiful Flowering Cherries of Japan. 
A very beautiful line of small sized trees that are becoming tremen¬ 
dously popular all over the country, wherever they can be grown. 
The greatest collection in this country may be seen in the city of 
Washington, where the magnificent gift of Japan to this Government 
is planted. It will well repay any flower lover to make the trip to 
Washington just to see these wonderful trees in bloom. Not hardy in 
Minnesota. Will do well in southern Iowa and climates similar. 
KOFUGAN. One of the very best of all the flowering cherries. W T e need 
a good red to add character to the deep and lighter pinks. This is 
a fine double real red. A large full showy red that is very beautiful. 
KWANZAN. Flowers very full and double, deep pink or rose. They 
vary much in color according to the weather. Splendid to use one 
on either side of a gateway entrance. The name means Sacred Gate. 
Very beautiful.

Rose Tree of China 
PAUL WOHLERT. A new variety. A dwarf spreading tree, growing not over 
10 feet high with an 8-ft. spread. Splendid where a small tree is desired. 
Semi-double, extremely early, deep pink to red. 4- to 5-ft. trees. All Jap¬ 
anese Cherries: Strong, 2-year, 4-5 ft., branched, $1.50 each; 1 each of the 
3 for $3.75. 
Red Flowering Peach 
Very popular trees, highly prized on account of the great quantities of 
double flowers which they bear in the spring before the leaves appear. Not 
hardy in Minnesota. But further to the south and east where the Flowering 
Peach does well, it is one of the most striking of all the early flowering 
trees. The writer lived three years, when a boy, in Tennessee and still re¬ 
members the beauty of this most beautiful of flowering trees. Red. 
Strong, 5-6 ft. trees, $1.00 each. 
A beautiful shrub, Rose-Acacia Blossoms. 
perfectly hardy in 
Minnesota. Has light green leaves and long graceful clusters 
of Sweet Pea-shaped rose-colored flowers in June and on into 
July. An unusually beautiful shrub that one seldom sees. Gives 
a wonderful effect. This last summer we saw Rose-Acacia 
in both shrub and tree form growing in several cities in Minne¬ 
sota. In all places the plants had come through the terrible 
winter unscathed and were just covered with beautiful bloom. 
We have Rose-Acacia in both shrub and tree form. The tree 
form is grafted on nice 5-6 ft. straight stems which makes it a 
beautiful tree. Shrub form, 2-3 ft., 75c. 
Tree form, 5-6 ft., $1.50. Pair, $2.75. 
Kwanzan Japanese Flowering Cherry. 
Flowering Plum 
PRUNUS TRILOBA (Double Flowering Plum). This is the shrub 
often sold under the name of “Rose Tree of China.” A most 
beautiful shrub or small tree, as it can be grown in either 
form. The most beautiful of all the flowering shrubs that is 
hardy enough for the Middle Northwest. Grows into a bush 
or tree from 8 to 10 feet high. In the early spring, just as 
the leaves start to come, the branches are literally loaded 
with small, very double, roselike flowers an inch in diameter; 
intense pink on the outside, fading to the most delicate shell- 
pink in the center. Probably the most striking and desirable 
of any of our very early flowering shrubs in this latitude. 
We have an unusually fine stock of Prunus Triloba this 
spring. Beautiful when planted in clumps of three or more. 
Select, 2-3 ft., 60c; $1.10 per pair.
