cover the bush just before the leaves come. 18 to 24 In., 50c; 2 for 
90c; 2 to 3 ft., 65c; 2 for $1.15. 
ALMOND, Double White. Same as the pink almond excepting that 
the flowers are a clear glistening white. This makes a wonderfully 
attractive shrub and is rather scarce. 2 to 3 ft., 75c. 
BUDDLEIA (Butterfly Bush). Should be cut back in early spring to 
within a few inches of the ground when it immediately takes on a 
wonderful growth of from 4 to 5 feet inside of a few weeks and is 
soon covered with long 6-inch spikes of flowers of a deep lavender 
color which just radiate wonderful perfume all about. Blooms look 
like great long lilacs. Extra fine large bushes, 75c; 2 for $1.00.

Leaves as yellow as gold all summer. Strong 2 to 3 ft. speci¬ 
mens, 75c. 
FORSYTHIA SPE CT ABIE IS (Golden Bell). 8 to 10 feet. With the 
first warm balmy days the Forsythias light up the garden before 
leaves appear with glistening yellow flowers all along the branches.

welcome they are. Hardy in Southern Minnesota. 2 to 3-ft. speci¬ 
mens, 75c; 2 for $1.25.

24-lnoh, $1.25; 3 for $3.00. 
KOLKWITZIA (Beauty Bush). A beautiful new shrub that Chinese Wilson brought 
to us from China. Must stand a couple of years before it begins to bloom, and
