This Catalogue of Estate and Garden Plants has 
been arranged for your convenience 
P LANTS can be found much easier when names are arranged in alphabetical order, 
as follows. Botanical names are given with the descriptions; common names are used 
with proper reference. You will be able to find anything you want, and recognize it by 
the brief description. Should you desire a tree or plant not listed, write us or call at the 
Nursery; it is altogether probable that we can supply anything that is in commerce today. 
Abelia grandiflora 
AARON’S BEARD. See Hypericum calycinum. 
ABELIA grandiflora. Glossy or Chinese Abelia. 5 to 6 ft. 
A plant-lover from the North remarked the other day 
that if all the Abelias were removed from Knoxville 
yards there would be few plantings left. Although this 
statement is somewhat exaggerated, the Abelia is one 
of the most useful and attractive of the flowering shrubs 
suitable for this climate. It is an evergreen shrub with 
small, glabrous, shining leaves. It blooms from June to 
November, with delicately scented, white flowers flushed 
pink. By judicious pruning, the Abelia may be kept any 
desired size or trimmed into a splendid hedge. 
ACACIA, False. See Robinia Pseudo Acacia. 
A., Rose. See Robinia hispida. 
ACANTHOPANAX pentaphyllum. See Aralia pentaphylla. 
ACER dasycarpum (saccharinum). Silver, Soft, or Water 
Maple. 40 to 50 ft. This quick-growing tree forms a 
large, round head with an open top. Its foliage, pale 
green above and almost white beneath, makes a delight¬ 
ful shade. The leaves appear promptly in the spring 
and remain until late fall when they turn a golden 
yellow. 
A. palmatum. Greenleaf Japanese Maple. 10 to 15 ft. 
The Japanesque shape of this small tree makes it look 
as though it had just been transplanted from some exotic, 
Oriental garden. It is adaptable for use as a specimen 
or in a shrub border. 
A. palmatum atropurpureum. Bloodleaf Japanese Maple. 
8 to 10 ft. A strikingly beautiful small tree similar to 
the Greenleaf Japanese Maple, but with foliage blood- 
red in spring and a deep purple-red in summer. 
Acer palmatum atropurpureum dissectum. Cutleaf Japanese 
Maple. 5 to 8 ft. A most desirable and picturesque 
cutleaf form of the Bloodleaf Japanese Maple. It is, 
however, a little more dwarf. 
A. platanoides. Norway Maple. 40 to 50 ft. Although 
this tree is too low-headed for an ideal street tree, it is 
one of our very best shade trees for the lawn. Its heavy 
green leaves turn yellow late in the autumn. 
A. platanoides Schwedleri. Schwedler’s Maple. 40 to 50 ft. 
Similar in appearance to the Norway Maple, this tree 
differs in that the young leaves in the spring are purple. 
A. rubrum. Scarlet or Red Maple. 40 to 50 ft. Fiery red 
blossoms in spring, good heavy foliage in summer, and 
scarlet leaves in autumn, make this Maple attractive in 
all seasons. 
A. saccharum. Sugar or Rock Maple. 50 to 75 ft. This is 
the best one of the Maples and is the most popular. It 
is a large, oval-headed, handsome tree. Although rather 
slow of growth, it is unsurpassed as a tree that is abso¬ 
lutely reliable. The foliage is brilliant in the fall with 
red and yellow tints. 
ADAM’S NEEDLE. See Yucca. 
7ESCULUS parviflora. Dwarf Horse-Chestnut; Bottle¬ 
brush Buckeye. 3 to 5 ft. A handsome plant for a lawn 
clump or shrub border with its long, narrow panicles of 
pure white flowers and its smooth fruit. 
7E. Pavia. Red Buckeye. 4 to 8 ft. This is our familiar 
native Dwarf Buckeye or Horse-Chestnut. The flowers 
are purple-red and the fruit is smooth though not 
edible. 
AKEBIA quinata. Five-leaf Akebia. Use this hardy, hand¬ 
some, five-leaf vine where a dense shade is not required. 
It bears fragrant purple flowers in spring and purple- 
black berries later in the season. 
ALLSPICE, Carolina. See Calycanthus. 
ALMOND, Flowering. See Prunus glandulosa. 
Prunus Amygdalus Persica. See page 23
