BAKER NURSERIES 
ABELIA GRANDIFLORA.—One of our most beautiful 
popular and satisfactory broad-leaved Evergreens. The graceful 
drooping stems and branches are covered with dark, glossy 
leaves which in winter assume a metallic sheen. From the middle 
of May until frost this plant produces an immense quantity 
of tubular-shaped white flowers about an inch long which are 
borne in clusters. During the growing season it is advisable to 
pinch off the ends of the long shoots. This will make the plant 
dense and compact. For single specimens, for groups, or for a 
hedge we cannot too strongly recommend this plant. 2-3 ft., 
75c each; 3-4 ft., $1.15 each; 4-5 ft., $1.50 each; if balled and 
burlapped add 25 cents each. 
NEW RED LEAVED JAPANESE BARBERRY.—It is sim¬ 
ilar in all respects to the green leaved Japanese Barberry which 
is so popular, but the foliage of this new variety is of a rich, 
lustrous, brondy red, similar to the richest red leaved Japanese 
Maples. All that is required to develop its brilliant coloring at 
all seasons is that it be planted in full exposure to the sun, 
1-2 ft., 75c each; 2-3 ft., $1.00 each; 3-4 ft., $1.50 each. If 
wanted balled and burlapped add 25 cents per plant. 
BARBERRY THUNBERGH.—Neat and dense in growth. 
Produces yellow flowers in summer, followed by scarlet fruit, 
borne in dense profusion, clinging throughout most of the win¬ 
ter. Leaves color to scarlet and gold. Dwarf Barberry also used 
extensively for planting on borders in connection with other 
shrubs. For a hedge not over two or three feet high this makes 
a very desirable shrub. Bare roots, 1-2 ft., 65c each; 2-3 ft., 
90c each; 3-4 ft., $1.25 each. If wanted balled and burlapped 
add 25 cents each. 
EUONYMUS PATENS (Berried type) .—A good broad leaf 
plant, and will not winter kill, should be in every planting.

30 inches, $2.00 each; 30-36 inches, $2.50 each; 36-48 inches,

the upper surface being highly glossed of black-green color and 
underside of a lighter shade. Plant is very compact, heavily 
branched, ideal in form and development. Wax Privet grows in 
shade or full sunlight. In any difficult place it will thrive bet¬ 
ter than any other evergreen or shrub. Grows to be six feet or 
more, but so wide and compact can be kept at any height or 
shape desired. Can be sheared like Laurels and Bays and used 
in tubs with great success. It has large heads of white flowers,
