Abelia grandiflora 
Pink Flowering Almond 
Althaea 
Redleaved Barberry 
Ornamental and 
Flowering Shrubs 
ABELIA 
Grandiflora (Abelia rupestris). One of the most beautiful, 
popular and satisfactory Broadleaved Evergreens. The 
graceful, drooping stems and branches are covered with dark, 
glossy leaves which in Winter assume a metallic green. From 
the middle of May until frost this plant produces an immense 
quantity of tubular white flowers, flushed pink, about an 
inch long, which are borne in clusters. For single specimens, 
for groups, or for a hedge, we recommend this plant. Hardy 
as far north as Philadelphia. Grows 4 to 6 ft. 
Butterflybush Ile de France 
(See page 21) 
ALMOND (Prunus) 
Dwarf Doubleflowering Almond (Prunus 
japonica florepleno). 2 to 4 ft. These are 
small branching shrubs covered early in 
the season before the leaves appear, with 
small, double, rose colored and white flow¬ 
ers borne in great profusion. We offer both 
pink and white varieties. 
ALTHAEA (Hibiscus syriacus) 
These are tall, slender shrubs, 6 to 8 ft. in 
height that do well under congested city con¬ 
ditions and other places where some of the 
woody plants fail to grow. The blossom peri¬ 
od usually starts in July and extends to Sep¬ 
tember. Althaeas are greatly used for hedge 
and screen purposes. 
We can furnish in Pink, Purple, Red and 
White. 
ARALIA 
Acanthopanax pentaphyllum (Five-leav¬ 
ed Aralia). 6-8 ft. Yellow. June. This is 
an unusually hardy shrub, thriving in very 
adverse soil and city conditions. It will 
grow under the shade of trees where all else 
fails. The flowers are inconspicuous but the 
foliage is very attractive. 
BARBERRY (Berberis) 
Redleaved Barberry. (Berberis atropur- 
purea). A new, redleaved Japanese Bar¬ 
berry, similar in all respects to the green¬ 
leaved variety but when planted in the full 
sun w 11 develop rich, lustrous, bronze 
red leaves which become more brilliant 
and spectacular through Summer and 
change to shades of vivid orange, scarlet 
and red in the Fall. Unequalled in color 
value. Red berries remain all Winter. Red¬ 
leaved Barberry was put on the market in 
1926 and is considered the most promising 
shrub that has been introduced in the past 
ten years. This new redleaved shrub was 
immediately accepted by the public and is 
now greatly in demand. Fortunately we can 
offer a very fine stock of it in good sized 
plants. Grows 2 to 4 ft. high. 
Japanese Barberry (Berberis thunbergi). 
Handsome foliage of bright green, oval¬ 
shaped leaves which turn to the most bril¬ 
liant shades of coppery red and orange in 
Autumn and which remain on until late 
Fall. The slender, graceful little branches 
are lined with small scarlet berries, which 
hang until well into Winter and help give 
life to the shrubbery border, especially 
when there is snow on the ground. Used 
for foundation planting, group planting 
and hedges. Can be trimmed. See color 
illustration on page 25. 
BEAUTYBUSH 
(Kolkwitzia amabilis) 
This handsome, new shrub comes from 
China and central Asia. Long arching 
branches covered in the Spring with clusters 
of small, tubular pink flowers resembling 
Abelia. Useful for the shrub border and for 
high foundation planting. See color illustra¬ 
tion on page 21. 
BUCKTHORN 
Handsome deep green foliage, black berries. 
BUSH-HONEYSUCKLE 
(Lonicera) 
Winter Honeysuckle (Lonicera fragran- 
tissima). Fragrant, small flowers in early 
Spring. Scarlet fruits in early Summer. A 
broad, many-branched shrub with excellent 
foliage retained well into the Winter. 
Height 6 to 8 ft. 
Bush-honeysuckle (Lonicera morrowi), 
A shrub with wide spreading branches 4 to 
6 ft. tall, producing a profusion of creamy 
white flowers early in the Spring followed 
in Summer by a mass of bright red fruit. 
Very decorative. 
Tatarian Honeysuckle(Lonicera tatarica) 
7-9 ft. Pink. April. This is very attrac¬ 
tive in blossom being one of the few early 
pinkflowering shrubs. Has bright red ber¬ 
ries that stay on all Summer. Useful for 
hedges and backgrounds. See color illus¬ 
tration on page 25.
