RARE SHRUBS and BEAUTIFUL NATIVE TREES 
CRAPE MYRTLE 
One of the most gorgeous of the flowering 
shrubs. It produces immense heads of crepe-like 
flowers, throughout the summer. We can furnish 
it in either Red, Pink, Purple or White. This won¬ 
derful shrub is grown throughout the South, it is 
probably a native of China. This shrub may be 
grown in the Central States where the temperature 
does not get more than 15 degrees below zero. If 
the tops of the Crape Myrtle are frozen back to the 
ground, the roots will survive and strong shoots 
will arise and give bloom the same year. This shrub 
makes its blossoms on new wood, and in locations 
where it does not winter-kill back to the ground it 
should be cut back to within 8 inches of the ground 
each year, this will cause the blossoms to be larger 
and have a more brilliant color. In the more nor¬ 
thern sections this shrub may be planted in tubs or 
pots, and in autumn carried to the cellar and kept 
during the winter. As the Crape Myrtle blooms 
almost continuously for a period of three months, 
the large attractive blossoms will well repay you 
for the time and trouble. When taken to the cellar 
it is best to cut it back to within 12 inches of the 
soil. Select 1 x /i to 2 ft. bushes 65c each. Extra heavy
