Long-Cluster Goldenchain 
(Laburnum vossi) 
The Thrill of Thrills — 
Just as the Lilacs are finishing it lets down 
its gorgeous yellow racemes, like flowing gold, 
and out of all proportion to the size of the plant. 
Even the sophisticated nurseryman will “walk 
a mile” to see one in bloom. 
Commencing as a little tree studded with 
heavy buds Long-cluster Goldenchain soon 
branches out into a vase-shaped tree and ordin¬ 
arily will not reach a height of over 12 ft. Plant 
it in a somewhat protected place, as an accent 
shrub or lawn tree like the Magnolia. 
This variety is hardier, the flowers larger 
than the common Laburnum vulgare. Because 
of being scarce and high-priced very few plants 
have been planted in this country,—but it is an 
old favorite in Europe. The branched specimens 
offered below are extra heavy this year, but it 
may be necessary to limit the number to a 
customer.

English Rock Broom 
(Genista tinctoria virgata). 
A joy to behold in June, when it is literally covered 
with bright yellow flowers, and at a time when 
you need bloom along the Border, or makes a 
beauty spot of that sunny dry bank where nothing 
else will grow. This Genista is usually more dwarf 
than shown and should be cut back heavily after 
blooming. 
18 to 24 in. Plants, $0.75 each; 
or 3 for $2.00 Postpaid. 
(Cornus florida plena).

String Debutante 
M O 
(Prunus cerasifera blieriana) 
A dwarf tree (10 to 15 ft.) of symmetrical 
shape whose straight slender branches are laden 
with salmon-pink rosettes, making its blooming 
period of 3 to 4 weeks in April an unforgetable 
event. After the flowers have been out for a 
while the young coppery foliage makes its 
appearance. 
Plant one or more of these trees, either in a 
prominent place on the lawn or as an accent in 
the garden. The flowers are excellent for cutting, 
and the purple foliage persists all summer.

Showy Pearlbush 
(Exochorda giraldi wilsoni) 
We held back this new and hand¬ 
somest variety of the Pearlbush

its hardiness. The gleaming pearl¬

disclosing delicate star-shaped 
flowers. This namesake of Dr. 
Wilson bears larger flowers than 
the common Pearlbush, and is of 
more upright and floriforous 
habit. Prune heavily after bloom¬ 
ing; grows 6 to 10 ft.

time the Dogwoods are blooming.

bush or Shadblow (Amelanchier canadensis). 
, April landscape would be drab indeed without the Shadblows. The slender branchlets 
ielicate tracery are wreathed in the snowy-whiteness of the blooms. The leaves, un- 
ling at the same time, are usually clothed with a white, floss of hairs, heightening the 
al effect of this very hardy, tree-like shrub

are at home in the most modest Cottage Garden as 
well as in the most ornate Formal Garden. 
Scheidecker Crab (Malus scheideckeri).

citing because the rose-pink flowers (often semi¬ 
double) are borne the full length of the branches 
in bottle-brush formation. In autumn bright 
yellow fruits dangle from every stem.

and prettier than the well known Malus floribunda 
—followed by very conspicuous fruit of a rich 
reddish color. Leaves are bright red early in the 
season. 4 ft. Trees, $1.00 each, F.O.B. Piqua. 
The enthralling blossoms of the 
Rose-flowering Cherry 
Japanese Rose-flowering 
Cherry (Kofugen) 
The Shadblows 
The crimson buds open into double, 
deep pink flowers that blend into old 
rose. Just enough of the purplish or red 
foliage is visible at the time of bloom to 
heighten the effect. An outstanding 
variety that can be used in even the 
smallest garden.
