Golden Syringa. 
Q olden 
SYRINQA 
(Philadelphus aureus). Graceful shrub 
with contrasting golden yellow leaves and 
beautiful, large white flowers produced 
lavishly in June. Splendid in bloom or leaf 
either as isolated specimens or to liven up 
otherwise albgreen shrub or evergreen 
plantings. The blossoms are very fragrant. 
FORSYTHIA 
A profusion of golden, belb 
shaped blooms in early spring, 
even before the leaves appear. 
Spring comes weeks earlier when 
a few of these bright spots liven 
up the landscape and withdraw 
attention from the later shrubs 
which are still bare and wintry 
looking. Hardy, easy to grow and 
widely useful. 
Forsythia. 
Hansen^s Purple 
PLUM 
An improved form of the Purple' 
Leaf Plum that has always been wide' 
ly used for its beautiful contrasting 
foliage. These small, shapely trees 
make beautiful lawn specimens or can 
be easily worked into any large shrub 
planting, the reddish purple foliage 
furnishing an attractive point of 
interest. 
T he charm and beauty 
of flowering shrubs 
has added almost iii' 
estimably to the appearance 
of this home. In a well 
handled planting, variety is 
achieved in both color and 
shape of bloom and heights 
are properly matched to ob' 
tain several rows of shrubs, 
all easily visible and form' 
ing, not a succession of dis' 
coiuii'cted units, but a com' 
phtc harmony. The archi' 
tccturo of the house deter' 
nunc- tc a large extent the 
Jc'jri .- of formality desirable 
Ml thi planting.
