DECIDUOUS SHRUBS, continued 
Forsythia fortunei (Golden Bell). Erect yet arching 
bushes covered very early in the spring with myriads 
of tiny yellow, bell-like flowers, long before the leaves 
appear. Very decorative and indispensable in the 
shrub border. 3 to 4-ft. plants, 25 cts. each. 
Spirea vanhouttei (Bridal Wreath). An extremely use¬ 
ful and graceful hardy shrub, making large, flower¬ 
like bushes which are covered in spring with myriads 
of tiny clusters of white flowers, so that the bush 
looks as if it were buried in snow. Frequently used 
for hedges, but for best effects it should be left 
unpruned. 3 to 4-ft. plants, 25 cts. each. 
Weigela rosea. A stiff, branching shrub about 6 feet 
tall with funnel-shaped flowers of deep pink, pro¬ 
duced on and off throughout the summer. Strong 
plants, 50 cts. each; $4 for 10. 
Mimosa Tree. A showy shade tree of spreading habit 
with narrow foliage and covered with pinkish white 
flowers in the summer. 3 to 4 ft., 50 cts. each. 
Japanese Quince. A very showy shrub, with large 
scarlet-orange blossoms in early spring. This is a 
very striking plant and should be in every landscape 
or home planting. 3 to 4-ft. plants, 50 cts. each. 
Flowering Almond. Beautiful shrub whose branches 
are literally covered with double flowers in May. 
2 to 3-ft. plants, 50 cts. each.
