Ligustrum • Privet 
For Hedge Plants, see page 10 
Ligustrum sinense. Amoor Privet. (F.) 
6 to 10 feet. The small-leaved, almost 
evergreen Privet, much used for hedges, 
and also very desirable for landscape work 
because of its rapid growth, good foliage, 
and graceful branching. Is not particular 
about soil, and for semi-screening and mass 
planting is unexcelled. It is not used 
enough as a shrub. We are very partial to 
its use in the South. Hardy where Cali¬ 
fornia Privet will succeed. p.„i.

L. ibota regelianum. Regel’s Privet. 
(F.) 5 to 7 feet. White. June. Low, 
spreading, and very twiggy, with dense 
foliage not so glossy as the California 
Privet. Because of its graceful appearance, 
hardiness, and adaptability to any soil and 
shady places, it is the most widely used 
Privet for landscape work. Each Five

2 to 3 ft. 35 1 50 
Lonicera • Honeysuckle 
Lonicera fragrantissima. Fragrant Bush 
Honeysuckle. (F.) 7 to 10 feet. So called 
because of its very fragrant white blossoms 
in April. The foliage is deep green and 
glossy. Grows well in partial shade, in 
adverse soil, or in cities where tender 
plants fail. Because of its nearly evergreen 
habit it is largely used for hedges. Without 
doubt, one of the best plants for landscape 
betterment. 
L. maacki podocarpa. Late Honeysuckle. 
Smaller, pinkish flowers, better fruit, and 
holds its leaves longer than Maacki. 
Vigorous. 
L. standishi. Standish Honeysuckle. 4 to 
5 feet. Creamy white blossoms in March 
or early April before the foliage appears. 
Leaves deep green and persist nearly all 
winter. Berries red. One of the best low- 
growing Honeysuckles. 
L. tatarica. Tatarian Honeysuckle. 7 to 
9 feet. Blooms in April, and is one of the 
few early pink-flowering shrubs. Has bright 
red berries that stay on all summer.

M. soulangeana. Saucer Magnolia. Some¬ 
times called “Tulip Tree” because of its 
mass of tulip-shaped, ruddy pink, fragrant 
blossoms in the spring before the foliage 
appears. No other spring-flowering plant 
makes so great a show. A garden treasure.

M. soulangeana nigra. Purple Magnolia. 
Flowers are a deeper shade of pink, slightly 
later in bloom, and therefore likely to be 
missed by the early frost. Same price as 
M. soulangeana.

evergreen shrub, described fully on page 12. 
Malus . Flowering Crabs 
Malus floribunda. Japanese Flowering

lies in its double and fragrant blooms, the 
individual blossoms resembling miniature

is compact, upright, and effective in masses, 
in the border, or as a specimen.

Philadelphus • Mock-Orange 
Philadelphus coronarius. (F.) 6 to 8 feet. 
The old-fashioned Mock-Orange, often 
called “Syringa.” Well known to everyone 
because of its waxy white, fragrant flowers 
in June; is a good plant for every use, the 
foliage being large, oval, and deep green. 
Pruning will keep the bush confined where 
it is not desirable to have it grow too tall.

are better than this. Succeeds under all 
soil-conditions. Each Five

For Extra-Large Shrubs, Write Us 
Everyone Should Grow 
This Mock-Orange 
Philadelphus virginal. Virginal Mock- 
Orange. 7 to 9 feet. The finest of all the 
Mock-Oranges. While it produces flowers 
intermittently throughout the growing 
season, its greatest value lies in its magni¬ 
ficent spring display. The pure white, fra¬ 
grant flowers are amazingly large, often 
2 inches across, are semi-double, and borne 
in such profusion that the branches are 
weighted down. The plant is an erect and 
vigorous grower. No one should be without 
this delightful shrub—the best of the 
Mock-Oranges. Each Five
