Flowering Trees and Shrubs 
of Oriental Splendor 
W HERE a large tree is not desirable, or an evergreen may 
be too formal, flowering shrubs will be ideal. So, too, 
groups and combinations will be found preferable wherever 
such an arrangement is possible. 
The species and varieties grown by Outpost Nurseries and 
here offered, are extremely rare and difficult to obtain. They 
are choice and beautiful specimens, and must not be confused 
with ordinary stock. 
One Each of These Seven Trees and Shrubs 
Extra Fine Specimens (seven in all) for 
JAPANESE WEEPING CHERRY (Prunus subhirtella pendula). 
Produces a strong Japanese effect with crooked drooping branches. 
Beautiful pink s>r rose flowers. Excellent for backgrounds. 6 -foot 
specimens, $5 each. 
JAPANESE FLOWERING CRAB APPLE (Pyrus floribunda). Lit¬ 
erally covered in spring with fragrant pink flowers of rare charm. 
Extremely ornamental, very hardy and desirable as specimens or in 
the border. Strong specimens, 4 to 5 feet, $ 1.50 each. 
JAPANESE DOGWOOD (Cornus Kousa). A Japanese counterpart 
of our Cornus Florida. In the Japanese species the berries are united 
in a flushed strawberry-shaped mass. The flower heads are borne 
on a slender pedicle, about the end of May when the tree is in full 
foliage. Strong specimens, 4 to 5 feet, $ 2.50 each. 
RED-FLOWERING DOGWOOD (Cornus florida rubra). Similar 
to the White flowering variety, but with red blooms. A rare variety 
and difficult to obtain. Strong specimens, 5 to 6 feet, $6 each. 
WHITE-FLOWERING DOGWOOD (Cornus florida alba). Myriads 
of white blossoms followed by scarlet fruits in the fall. Upright 
growth, branching closely to the ground. May be trimmed to formal 
shapes. Strong specimens, 5 to 6 feet, $5 each. 
DOUBLE WHITE-FLOWERING PEACH (Prunus persica alba). 
Tree rather irregular in form, useful as a specimen or in the border. 
Flowers pure white, double and about an inch and a half in diameter. 
Strong specimens, 5 to 6 feet, $2 each. 
DOUBLE RED-FLOWERING PEACH (Prunus persica rubra). 
Similar to the preceding but with unusually handsome red flowers. 
Strong specimens, 5 to 6 feet, $2 each.

remarkable collection at Outpost Nurseries. We shall

Charles T)ingee ’ 
Wc honor this grand rose nith 
the name of the founder of 
our business because we con¬ 
sider it the most wonderful 
rose in the world. 
W E originated the “Charles 
Dingee ’ bush rose in our own 
gardens by crossing a grand, old, 
hardy pink rose with one of the 
best of all the white varieties. The 
result was a wonderfully strong 
growing bush with magnificent foli¬ 
age and continuous bearing of im¬ 
mense, double, grandly formed 
flowers. 
There is a most delicate blending 
of colors—rose tints in center, 
gradually shading off into a pale 
blush creamy white. The flowers 
from bud to full bloom are unex¬ 
celled and are borne on long, stiff, 
erect stems. 
We own and control the entire 
stock of “Charles Dingee” roses. 
They can be had nowhere else. 
It deserves a place in any garden 
or yard. One-year-old plants, 30c; 
4 for $1.00. Large 2-year-old 
plants, 85c, by parcel post, prepaid
