WHOLESALE LIST 
Hardy Shrubs 
Cotoneaster 
Very ornamental shrubs with decorative fruits re¬ 
maining usually throughout the winter. The dwarfer 
varieties are nearly evergreen and while especially 
adapted for rockery plantings are equally effective 
planted in clumps in front of the shrubbery border or 
mixed with the dwarfer broad-leaved evergreens. 
Viburnum Carlesi— Fragrant Viburnum 
A rare Korean variety which is entirely distinct. 
Has sweet-scented salver-shaped flowers of a delicate 
rose-tinted white, passing to white. The flowers are 
produced in May in terminal subglobose cymes 2 to 3 
inches in diameter. Good bushy specimens 2 feet high 
75c each. 
Francheti. Tall, upright, densely branched shrub with 
spreading branches. Fruit orange-red; semi-evergreen. 
Horizontalis. A low growing shrub with almost hori¬ 
zontal branches. Small shiny green leaves and 
orange-red berries produced in great quantity. One 
of the most effective evergreen plants for rockery or 
border planting. 
Praecox. A new Chinese variety with glossy foliage 
and large red berries by the end of June. 
Salicifolia floccosa. A large growing shrub of graceful 
habit and willow-like foliage, bright red fruits ex¬ 
tending well along the branches. 
Any of the above varieties in strong, 4-inch pots: 
50c each; $5.00 per doz. 
Erica— Heath 
Most of these Heaths are compact, low-growing, and 
extremely useful for rockeries. The small foliage is 
densely arranged around the wiry stems, and both in 
full bloom or in mid-winter they make a very pretty 
picture. Give some protection the first winter to ac¬ 
climate them. Semi-shady location. 
Vagans (Cornish Heath). Compact evergreen shrub 
with dark green small foliage and pale purplish red 
flowers in August and September; 12 inches. A 
good rock plant for a semi-shaded position. 
Vulgaris (Calluna vulgaris). (Scotch Heather.) A 
dense-growing shrub with erect branches covered 
with short, closely lapped leaves. The pretty, bell¬ 
shaped flowers are rosy lavender and occur in great 
profusion toward the tops of the shoots. 
— alba. Pure white. 
-aurea. A pretty gold leaved form of the white 
variety. 
— rubra. Rosy carmine. 
Any of the above varieties. 4-inch pots: 
40c each; $4.00 per doz.; $30.00 per 100. 
Nandina domestica— Chinese Bamboo 
A very handsome small shrub, hardy as far north 
as Philadelphia. It grows about three feet high and 
has graceful, light green foliage which turns to a most 
attractive bronzy red early in the fall. The small 
white flowers are produced in good-sized erect panicles 
in spring and they are followed by crimson berries. 
Strong 5-inch pots, 50c each; $5.00 per doz. 
Osmanthus— Holly Osmanthus 
Aquifolium. A beautiful, strong growing, Holly-like 
shrub with evergreen dark green, shiny, crinkly, 
spiny-toothed foliage. Attractive not only in summer 
but throughout the winter. Naturally grows in a 
shapely bushy form, usually from 5 to 8 feet high. 
Strong plants, 15 to 18 inches high, $1.00 each. 
Privet— Golden Variegated California 
Three-year-old bushy plants, 24 to 30 inches high, 
$3.00 per doz.; $20.00 per 100. 
Pyracantha (Crataegus) coccinea Lalandi 
Firethorn, Evergreen Thorn 
There is no other fruiting evergreen shrub that is 
so attractive throughout the year as this Firethorn. It 
will succeed in any fairly sunny position, developing 
into a shapely plant 6 feet or more high. May be 
planted either in connection with other shrubs, as a 
single specimen, or may be trained with wonderful 
effect against a wall. Its large trusses of white flowers 
are followed in summer by an abundance of brilliant 
orange-scarlet berries, which, remaining on the plants 
throughout the winter, produce a gorgeous effect. 
Strong 5-inch pots, 75c each. 
Viburnum rhytidophyllum 
A rare variety, particularly attractive on account of 
its large, dark green, nearly evergreen foliage. The 
yellowish white flowers are followed in September by 
red berries which finally turn black. 4-inch pots, 50c 
each. 
Vitex macrophylla 
The Rare Chaste Tree 
Vitex macrophylla— The Rare Chaste Tree 
In general habit similar to V. Agnus-castus but

double the size. It blooms from July until frost, and
