A rare and charming native small tree or 
shrub, graceful in outline, foliage of a glossy 
green, turning to the most brilliant red im¬ 
aginable in the fall. Thrives in almost any 
location, even in the shade of larger trees. 
Its crowning glory, however, is its waxy- 
white lily-of-the-valley-like flowers, pro¬ 
duced in terminal panicles during Tuly and 
August, when flowering trees are indeed rare. 
SPECIMENS. 
All the stock in this Catalog marked 
"Specimens" has been grown with spe¬ 
cial care so as to develop symmetry of 
top and a splendid system of roots , so 
that they can be transplanted with per¬ 
fect success and give immediate results. 
We are devoting much time, attention 
and space to the cultivation of these 
“ specimen ” plants, as the planter's suc¬ 
cess amply demonstrates their increased 
value over stock grown in the usual way.
