PRUNUS 
ROSE TRUE OP CHINA (Prunus Triloba). This is a showy little tree 
rather than a shrub. It’s literally covered with double rose-pink 
blossoms early in the spring almost before the leaves show. It makes 
a beautiful little tree for the lawn or, better yet, back with your shrubs 
or behind the perennials. It’s perfectly hardy and easy to grow. 18 to 
24 inch, 35c each, postpaid. 
JAPANESE PURPLE LEAVED 
FLOWERING PLUM (Prunus New¬ 
port). This flowering plum is 
planted not only for its showy 
white blossoms, but for its richly 
colored purple leaves. As it matures 
it turns a deep red, almost a brown. 
18 to 24 inch, 40c, postpaid. 
POKEBERRY. A very striking 
shrubby bush with lovely green 
foliage of bright red branches. The 
white blossoms are followed by 
spectacular purple berries that hold 
on into late fall. Many folks ask 
me about this shrub for it’s grow¬ 
ing on the north side of my house. 
It’s hardy, vigorous, and I think it’s 
a dandy. Comes up from the ground 
each year. 25c each, postpaid. 
Rose Tree of China 
Purple Fringe—Smoke Tree 
PURPLE FRINGE (Smoke Tree). A 
very conspicuous shrub, not because 
of its large round leaves but because of the mist-like clouds of hanging 
flowers that droop in a billowing mass all over the shrub. They are 
light lavender when first out, but at a distance give the appearance of 
smoke. 18 to 24 inch, 45c each, postpaid. 
SNOWBALL 
COMMON SNOWBALL. The well known favorite shrub loaded with great 
bunches of white flowers for Decoration Day. It’s a tall shrub and very 
beautiful when loaded with its balls of snow. 12 to 18 inch, 20c} 18 to 
24 inch, 30c, postpaid. 
PINK SNOWBALL (Viburnum Carlesi). This 
beautiful new snowball is not only a pink one, 
but as fragrant as Trailing Arbutus. It’s one 
of the earliest shrubs to bloom, and is much 
more dwarf and compact than the old-fash¬ 
ioned. It seldom gets above four feet. With 
its silver green foliage it is a picture of beauty. 
It is very hardy, and is another gift to this 
part of the world from Korea. 12 to 15 inch, 
70c each, postpaid. 
PEARL BUSH (Exorchorda). Here is a shrub 
you must not miss. When I found out how 
beautiful it was, I made up my mind that ev¬ 
eryone should have this unusual shrub in their 
lawn. The tiny new buds are little pearls up 
and down the stem. 12 to 18 inch, 25e each; 
18 to 24 inch, 35c, postpaid. 
Fokeberry 
HARDY CHINESE MAGNOLIA. Showy large 
fragrant white blossoms tinged with pink in 
early spring before the leaves appear. Grows 
tree size and is fairly hardy. A treasure worth 
growing. 18 to 24 inch, $1.00 each, 3 for $2.75, 
postpaid.
