ALTHEA—ROSE OF SHARON. Brilliant blooming plants of late summer and fall, 
coming at a time when few other flowers are in bloom. The handsome foliage is a 
landscape feature in itself—a splendid plant for either hedges or as specimens. Severe 
pruning in March induces more profuse blooms. Not recommended for Minnesota 
and very northern sections, and in Iowa requires winter protection. Perfectly hardy, 
and a great favorite in moderate climates. Large, double blooms of rich colors; choice 
of the following. Anemonaeflorus, rose-pink; Ardens, violet-blue; Jeanne d’Arc, 
pure white; and Boule de Feu, rich red. Each 10 
1-yr. plants, 1 ft. average, blooming size.$0.20 $1.75 
BUTTERFLY BUSH (Buddleia magnifica). A delightful addition to the s’ummertime 
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.. Each 10 
2-yr., No. 1 (with tops cut back) .$0.35 $3.00 
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, while small clumps of them at the entrance 
walk are especially enticing. 1 to 2 feet high at maturity.

DEUTZIA, PRIDE OF ROCHESTER. A graceful plant, often reaching a height

RED-BRANCHED DOGWOOD. Showy, blood-red branches make this one of the 
most interesting and delightful plants for the wintertime landscape. Summertime 
brings an artistic growth of bright green foliage, yellowish white flowers and 
pearly white fruit. Its tangled growth is fine for the background or mass planting; 
it does well in sunshine or shade. 5 to 7 feet at maturity. Each 10 
2-3 ft. average .$0.35 $3.00 
Forsythia—Golden Bell. 
VARIEGATED DOGWOOD. For a lovely contrast effect in 
your shrubbery border, use 3 or 4 plants of this fine Dog¬ 
wood. Its handsome foliage of bright green has a creamy 
white edge, very distinctive. 4 to 6 feet at maturity.

FORSYTHIA (Golden Bell). The first shrub to bloom in the 
spring—and what a bright spot it makes on the landscape! 
Beautiful, bell-shaped 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 For- 
sythia in the groups around your home. 6 to 8 feet at ma¬ 
turity, but it is advisable to keep trimmed somewhat.

GOLDEN ELDER. The golden beauty of its foliage 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 sunlight.

JAPANESE FLOWERING QUINCE (Cydonia japonica). A 
long-time favorite in gardens. In May, often before the at¬ 
tractive glossy leaves appear, it is completely enveloped in 
clustered 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 For¬ 
sythia 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.
