Professor Yeager the very hardiest strain of 
this handsome shrub that we have seen. It 
is perfectly hardy here and very drouth re¬ 
sistant. Foliage like that of a cedar tree, 
twigs tipped with spikes of pink flowers in 
late summer. We consider this one of our 
outstanding recent introductions. Price, each, 
60c; 5 for $2.75.

very dwarf shrubs that we have. A mass of 
bright pink flowers much of the season. Foliage

—RIBES AUREUM. One of the very hardiest 
and best shrubs for the Northwest, a native of 
our Little Missouri Bad Lands. In early May it

yellow flowers which are succeeded by a large 
black fruit that makes excellent jelly or jam, 
and. is exceedingly ornamental as well. Foliage 
takes on bright shades in the Fall. Each, 35c;

CAR AG AN A FRUTEX. A little known shrub, has 
larger leaves than the pea tree and larger blos¬

TARTARIAN BUSH HONEYSUCKLE. The upright or bush form of the Honeysuckle and noted 
for the great profusion and fragrance of its flowers. Growing from 8 to 12 feet high (accord¬ 
ing to location), these tall growing shrubs are extremely suitable for shrubbery 
clusters and for individual planting purposes, especially in exposed locations, as 
they are the last word in hardiness. For hedges they are unsurpassable, being very 
ornamental in a trained hedge and will stand clipping to any desired shape or form.

Siberia. It is a mass of bright pink flowers in early Spring which last for some three 
weeks, very fragrant and fine for cutting. Also handsome on account of the Fall 
colors of its foliage. A beautiful low hedge. 12 to 18 in., each, 40c; 10, $3.75. 
RED OSIER DOGWOOD—CORNUS STOLONJFERA, This is the handsome, red-barked 
dogwood which lends so much color to the winter landscape along our streams in 
western North Dakota. Hardier than the Siberian dogwood, it is fully as beautiful.

dwarf. Maximum height, 5 ft. 12 to 18 in., each, 40c; 5, $1.90.
