Ornamental and Flowering Shrubs 
AMORPHA (False Indigo). 8 feet. Attractive deep violet-blue flowers in June; 
feathery foliage. The finest blue flowered shrub. 12 to 18 inches, 25c; 18 to 24 
inches, 40c, postpaid. By express, not prepaid, 2 to 3 feet, 50c; 3 to 4 feet, 60c. 
AZALEA MOLLIS (Chinese Azalea). 3 feet. The hardiest of the Azaleas. 
Thrives under ordinary garden conditions, but prefers partial shade. A most useful 
shrub to plant as undergrowth for tall trees or as a border in front of tail shrubs. 
Blooms profusely in April and May. There is no other shrub that can rival the 
Azalea. Color ranges through the varying shades of apricot, golden-salmon and 
terra-cotta. A wonderful assortment, sold in mixture only. Blooming size plants, 
12 to 15 inches, balled and burlapped, by express, not prepaid, $1.75 each. 
The 18 to 24 inch sizes are 2 and 3 years old while the larger sizes vary from 3 
to 5 years of age. In order to meet present day demands for low priced stock we 
have also included this year a 12 to 18 inch grade. These are mostly of one and two 
years’ growth and cannot be compared to the larger sizes which are older. However, 
they are old enough to be easily transplanted and will give you an opportunity to 
landscape your premises at little cost. We are sure that our plants will please you. 
As an added feature we furnish complete instructions for planting and care of trees, 
shrubs, evergreens, perennials, etc. 
There are very few lawns which could not be improved in appearance by the addi¬ 
tion of a few more shrubs. A small amount of money spent on shrubbery will beautify 
your home and greatly increase the value of your property. 
Figures following variety names indicate approximately the height of the plant when
