A Cloud of 
Purple Smoke

turesque shrub, which at maturity attains 
a height of 14 feet. In habit, it is round and 
bushy, often broader than high. The foliage 
is fine-textured, dense and dark green, and 
in autumn assumes various shades of yellow 
and purple. The plant also bears small, in¬ 
conspicuous purple flowers in loosely ar¬ 
ranged clusters. In July, the plant is en¬ 
veloped in clouds of delicate, lavender, 
fluffy stems which look like swirls of 
smoke. 18-24”, 50c; 2-3', 75c; 3-4', $1.00

Rhus cotinus 
_ : RARE AND BEAUTIFUL === 
Stewartia pseudocamellia—This rare and beautiful plant has been difficult to obtain 
and expensive, but we have succeeded in growing some fine young specimens and have 
priced them modestly. Stewartia makes a tall shrub. During summer large snowy white 
flowers with bright orange anthers at the center make a striking contrast with the 
handsome foliage. In autumn the leaves are brilliant with red and orange. It likes a 
woodsy location but is not hardy north of Mass. 12-18”, 75c each.
