Berberis Thunbergi. One of the most useful and desirable 
of all shrubs. Equally as well adapted to border or group 
planting either mixed with other shrubs or by themselves.

luxuriant foliage graceful and informal and the bright red 
berries carried through the winter make this a very attrac¬

7014 Double Pink Flowering Almond 
Amygdalus. Very desirable and attractive. Extra early 
flowering shrubs of rather dwarf habit. Usually 3 to 4 ft. 
in height. The branches are completely covered with pretty 
little double pink flowers in early spring before the leaves appear. This is an 
unusually valuable shrub but not grown as widely as it should be. Adapts itself well 
to any location but is probably best as a single specimen in a position where it may 
develop to its fullest beauty. See Color Plate Page 52.

Bechtel’s Double Flowering Crab 
7056 Cornus, Florida Rubra 
Flowering Dogwood. This very desirable variety of flowering Dogwood bears a mass 
of deep pink blooms in early Spring before the foliage appears. The foliage throughout 
the Summer is a very handsome rich green, in the Autumn turning to a bright crim¬ 
son. They grow into tree form reaching the height of 20 to 30 feet with very graceful 
and attractive branches. Their bright flowers, handsome foliage and crimson coloring 
in the Autumn make them very ornamental and attractive throughout a long season. 
They are an especially attractive tree for the lawn or yard creating much attention. 
The Cornus likes a moist but well drained soil and does well in either sun or semi- 
shade. We are offering them this year at very reasonable prices. Strong. Each 
$1.00; 3 for $2 50; 6 for $4.50. 
This is not a shrub, but rather develops into a small tree. It is perfectly hardy every¬ 
where, succeeding nicely in all soils and climates. It would be difficult to describe its 
wonderful beauty when in bloom, the branches bending under a profusion of delicate 
pink delightfully fragrant rose-like flowers. The only sweet scented double flowering 
crab. It will require a little more room than the ordinary flowering shrubs on account 
of its tree-like habit of growth, and its full beauty can only be known and appreciated 
when it has plenty of room to develop. It is very often used as a single specimen plant 
for lawn planting and in this location during its blooming period in May and June 
presents one of the most gorgeous sights imaginable. See Color Plate Page 52.

7016 Hardy Chinese Azalea Mollis 
See Azalea Mollis in Color on Page 52 
The Azaleas are one of the most beautiful and popular families of hardy flowering 
shrubs in cultivation, and the Chinese Mollis is perhaps the most satisfactory 
and most easily grown of all. Their great charm is in their wonderful array of 
color, they vary from light yellow to salmon and dark orange, scarcely two plants 
exactly alike in color. For best effect we suggest planting in groups as the yellow, 
orange and salmon blend beautifully together. They are perfectly hardy thriving 
under ordinary garden conditions but do best in a protected location where they 
will be in partial shade. For best success, prepare the soil to the depth of 15 to 18 
inches, using 50 per cent of well rotted leaf-mold from the woods or decayed peat 
from a swamp or both. Be careful that there is no lime in the soil. Water freely. 
The plants we offer are strong healthy plants that will give you lovely flowers the 
following spring. 
7016 Strong 12 to 15 inch size. Each $1.25; 3 for $3.15; 6 for 
$5.75.
