Chinese Magnolia is a glorious sight in late win¬

be flowers on older plants, along with the new 
leaves. The trees are of slow growth, but small

Mail Orders 
NOTE 
All of the prices listed for Deciduous 
Shrubs are for strong, established plants 
in containers. They are much stockier 
plants and will provide many more flowers 
the same season planted than will bare 
root stock of similar heights when first 
dug from the field when it is necessary 
to cut the roots. 
For shipment by Express, we will re¬ 
move the earth, without damaging the root 
system, so that they will pack very lightly 
but will receive no setback. Exceptions 
are: Cornus florida, Virburnum carlesi 
and Magnolias, which should be sent with 
ball of earth.
