SHRUBS ' 
OF UNUSUAL BEAUTY & 
DISTINCTIVE CHARM 
Bright Yellow 
Flowers in the 
Early Spring 
Cornus mas (Cornelian Cherry)- —In the 
very early spring when other shrubs are 
brown and dull, Cornelian Cherry breaks 
into a mass of cheerfully bright yellow 
flowers. Scarlet fruits follow in the autumn. 
An upright grower to 10-15', it makes a 
grand shrub to plant in city gardens for it is not harmed by a smoky 
atmosphere and does well in either sun or shade. 2-3', 75c; 3-4', 
$1.00 each. 
Azalea Mollis Hybrids (Chinese Azalea)— 
Brilliant Beauty for your garden. These 
hardy Azaleas burst into varying shades of 
pink, yellow, orange, salmon and flaming 
red in late May. The large, bright flowers in 
large clusters make the plant resemble dwarf 
Rhododendrons. They will grow about 0' 
high and need a sunny location. Balled and 
Burlapped, 12-15", $1.50 each. 
Hypericum forresti —For late summer 
bloom. Neat and densely massed shrubs 
2-3' tall with dark green leaves which are 
held late in the fall. Single flowers, rich buttery yellow, with a mass 
of golden stamens at the center, bloom from July to Sept. These are 
not hardy north of Mass. Strong field grown plants, 50c each. 
Gorgeous Colors 
Daphne mezereum (February Daphne) —Is a bright spot of color 
to welcome the first warm days of spring. Here is a little shrub growing 
no higher than 4' whose branches are thickly set with reddish lilac, fra¬ 
grant flowers. It likes partial shade and a well drained soil. Balled and 
Burlapped, 12-15", 75c each. 
Ilex serrata (Finetooth Holly) —Red Holly berries for winter bouquets. 
A shrub of medium height much like Ilex verticillata (Black Alder) but 
smaller in every way and of more graceful habit. Berries are very 
abundant and shiny red. Best planted in groups to insure berrying. 
You will be delighted with them among evergreens. 18-24", $1.00 
each. 
New Scotch Brooms (Cytissus scoparius andreanus hybrids)— 
Flowers are ruby red, flaming orange, golden yellow, snow white and 
unusual and beautiful combinations. The plants form a twiggy mass of 
green 5-6' high. They are very showy and so desirable that your garden 
must not lack a few of these lovely Brooms. 5" pot plants, 75c each. 
Regular Scotch Broom (Cytissus scoparius) —With bright yellow 
flowers. 4" pots, 50c each. 
Kerria japonica flora plena (Double Kerria) —The beloved Japanese 
Rose of our Grandmothers’ gardens. A slender shrub 6-8' high which 
sends up each spring numbers of shoots which keep their fresh bright 
green all the year. From June to September bright buttercup yellow 
double flowers are borne on these young shoots. Strong, field grown 
plants, 75c each. 
Buddleia, lie De France (The New Butterfly Bush) —12" spikes of 
claret purple. You will hardly recognize the old-fashioned Buddleia in 
this beautiful and improved form—long thick spikes of rich claret 
purple flowers are borne profusely from July until hard frosts end the 
display. For best results cut the old stems to the ground early each 
spring. Very fine, large, sure-to-bloom plants. Strong, 2 year plants, 
50c each.
