ABELIA 
Grandiflora. One of the most beautiful, popular 
and satisfactory Broad-leaved Evergreens. The 
graceful, drooping stems and branches are cov¬ 
ered with dark, glossy leaves which in Winter 
assume a metallic green. From the middle of 
May until frost this plant produces an immense 
quantity of tubular white flowers, flushed pink, 
about an inch long, which are borne in clusters. 
For single specimens, for groups, or for a hedge, 
we recommend this plant. Hardy as far north 
as Philadelphia. Grows 4 to 6 ft. See color 
illustration below. 
ALMOND (Prunus) 
Dwarf Doubleflowering Almond (Prunus 
japonica florepleno'). 2 to 4 ft. These are 
small branching shrubs covered early in the 
season before the leaves appear, with small, 
double, rose colored and white flowers borne in 
great profusion. We offer both pink and white 
varieties. See color illustration this page. 
ARALIA 
Acanthopanax pentaphyllum (Five-leaved 
Aralia). 6-8 ft. Yellow. June. This is an un¬ 
usually hardy shrub, thriving in very adverse 
soil and city conditions. It will grow under 
the shade of trees w'here all else fails. The flow¬ 
ers are inconspicuous but the foliage is very 
attractive. 
FLOWERING SHRUBS 
BARBERRY (Berber^) 
Red leaved Barberry (Berberis atropur- 
purea). A new, redleaved Japanese Bar¬ 
berry, similar in all respects to the green¬ 
leaved variety but when planted in the 
full sun will develop rich, lustrous bronze 
red leaves which become more brilliant 
and spectacular through Summer and 
change to shades of vivid orange, scarlet 
and red in the Fall. Unequalled in color 
value. Red berries remain all Winter. 
See color illustration below. 
Japanese Barberry (Berberis thunber- 
gi). Handsome foliage of bright green, 
oval-shaped leaves which turn to the 
most brilliant shades of coppery red and 
orange in Autumn and which remain on

branches are lined with small scarlet ber- 
ties, which hang until well into Winter. 
Used for foundation planting, group 
planting and hedges. Can be trimmed.
