Long-Cluster Goldenchain 
(Laburnum vossi) 
The Thrill of Thrills — 
Just as the Lilacs are finishing it lets down 
its gorgeous yellow racemes, like flowing gold, 
and out of all proportion to the size of the plant. 
Even the sophisticated nurseryman will “walk 
a mile” to see one in bloom. 
Commencing as a little tree studded with 
heavy buds Long-cluster Goldenchain soon 
branches out into a vase-shaped tree and ordin¬ 
arily will not reach a height of over 12 ft. Plant 
it in a somewhat protected place, as an accent 
shrub or lawn tree like the Magnolia. 
This variety is hardier, the flowers larger 
than the common Laburnum vulgare. Because 
of being scarce and high-priced very few plants 
have been planted in this country,—but it is an 
old favorite in Europe. The branched specimens 
offered below are extra heavy this year, but it 
may be necessary to limit the number to a 
customer. 
2 to 3 ft. Plants, $1.85 each; 3 for $ 5.00 
3 to 4 ft. Plants, $2.85 each; 3 for $ 7.75 
4 to 5 ft. Plants, $3.85 each; 3 for $10.50 
Branched specimens, 6 to 8 ft., $6.85 each

DOUBLEFLOWERING WHITE DOGWOOD (Cornus florida plena). 
More beautiful than the common single flowering, both in flower and foliage: flowers are 
larger and semi-double, closely resembling the Camellia; foliage is heavier and of a lighter 
shade of green. Be the first to plant this in your vicinity. 
2 to 3 ft. Plants, with ball of earth, $2.85 each 
3 to 4 ft. Plants, $3.85 each, F. O. B. Piqua 
WEEPING WHITE DOGWOOD on Standards (Cornus florida pendula). 
We are really excited about this form which keeps the tree within definite bounds and 
giving it first place as an accent on the lawn or in the formal garden. 5 to 6 ft. stems with 
3 year heads, dug with ball of earth and very carefully packed. We suggest freight ship¬ 
ment if possible. Price, $8.75 each, F. O. B. Piqua 
Contrasting Dogwoods 
Let the brilliant colored bark of these two shrubs enliven your shrub planting during the 
dull winter months. For the best effect set out at least three of each, in a sunny place if possible, 
and not too dry. The other good attributes are foamy flowers in Spring, followed by porcelain¬ 
like berries. Coral Dogwood (Cornus alba sibirica). Vivid coral-red bark. 
Golden-twig Dogwood (C. stolonifera lutea). Bright yellow bark. 
3 to 4 ft. Plants, $0.50 each; or 3 of each (6 plants) for $2.50, F. O. B. Piqua

Red-leaved Rose (Rosa rubrifolia). Slender purplish branches which become spangled with 
tiny, vivid pink flowers, and followed by red fruit. 2 to 3 ft. Plants, $0.75 each, Postpaid.
