DECIDUOUS SHRUBS 
HORSE CHESTNUT. While generally thought of as 
trees the following striking forms are merely shrubs 
which start blooming when only a foot or so tall. 
AESCULUS DISCOLOR MOLLIS. Blooms in late 
spring. Flowers a mixture of yellow and scar¬ 
let. Grafted plants I-IV 2 ft. $1.00. 
AESCULUS MUTABILIS. Flowers yellow and 
red. Grafted I-IV 2 ft. $1.00. 
AESCULUS NEGLECT A TOMENTOSA. Flowers 
bright red. Grafted I-IV 2 ft. $1.00. 
DWARF LAVENDER CREPEMYRTLE (Lagerstroe- 
mia). This charming variety is sufficiently described 
by its name. It makes only a small shrub and blooms 
very profusely. Pot grown 12-15 in. 60c. 
MERATIA PRAECOX GRANDIFLORA. This is a 
rare large flowering form of the plant generally known 
as Calycanthus praecox, so greatly esteemed for its 
very early and intensely fragrant yellowish flowers 
which are among the first to appear in the spring. 
4-5 ft. $2.00, 3-4 ft. $1.50. 
PHILADELPHUS ATLAS. One of Lemoine’s varieties 
recently imported from France. The pure white, usual- long-clustered goldenchain 
ly four-petaled flowers are enormous, single and exceed T h , 
2 1 /2 inches wide. This was justly given the Award of 
Merit of the Royal Horticultural Society. 8-12 in. 85c. 
VIBURNUM FRAGRANS. In England this is considered superior even to Viburnum 
carlesi which it resembles in its flowers but not in any other particular as it is of slen¬ 
der, erect habit with entirely different foliage. Here it often starts blooming during 
the winter as early as January; occasionally even in the fall. It is a magnificent thing 
but scarce and hard to propagate so we are able to offer only small pot grown grafts 
about 6 inches tall at $1.25. 
WEIGELA. The following varieties were recently imported from France where they 
were originated by Lemoine: 
IDEAL. Flowers brightly carmine outside and carmine-rose within. Unlike Eva 
Rathke it is a well formed rounded shrub and an extremely free bloomer. 8-12 
in. $1.00. 
MAJESTEUX. Erect and vigorous. The medium sized rose pink flowers are very 
freely produced. 8-12 in. $1.00. 
CLIMBERS 
BILLARDIERA LONGIFLORA. Slender climber highly valued for its large metallic 
blue berries. Pot grown 2-2 Ez ft. $1.00. 
JASMINUM STEPHANENSE. This recently introduced vine is of extremely vigorous 
growth, quickly making an attractive flowering screen. The flowers are soft lavender- 
pink and very fragrant. Pot grown 3-4 ft. 75c, l%-2 ft. 50c. 
PILEOSTEGIA VIBURNOIDES. This new evergreen vine might be briefly described 
as a climbing Laurustinus. Thrives best in full shade where so few vines do well. 
Leaves are of good size, leathery, and glossy. White flowers are borne freely in large 
clusters in Autumn. Looks very promising. Gal. can l 1 /2-2 ft. $1.25. 
EXTRA LONG CLUSTERED WHITE WISTERIA (Wisteria longissima alba). Last 
year we promised to introduce this fine novelty this season. It is by far the longest 
clustered white variety we have ever seen, attaining as much as 30 inches in length. 
Grafted plants grown one year in the field $2.00. 
ROYAL PURPLE WISTERIA. This is being offered now for the first time in this 
country. It belongs in the Japanese group but instead of the usual very pale color of 
the Japanese types this is a deep purple. This color is far out of the ordinary and is 
very striking. The foliage is also noteworthy, being dark green and somewhat glossy, 
looking almost evergreen. Fortunately it blooms much younger than most of the 
Japanese varieties so buyers should not have to wait long to see the flowers. This 
year we are unable to supply anything except grafts which were made last spring and 
will not of course be very large. $2.00 each.
