WINTERBERRY (Ilex verticillata) 
Most popular of the deciduous Hollies. A slender 
shrub which is smothered with bright red berries 
throughout the Fall and Winter. There is not a 
more beautiful berried shrub in the garden and the 
berried branches are quite useful for decoration 
purposes. Hardy from Maine to Florida. 10 feet. 
Unless male and female plants are planted near 
each other the plants will not fruit. We recommend 
planting in groups of three—one male and two 
females. See illustration in color this page. 
WINTER-JASMINE 
(Jasminum nudiflorum) 
Almost an evergreen. Offers a profusion of yellow 
blossoms during warm Winter days. 
GRANULATED PEAT MOSS 
_ If your soil bakes, dries out quickly, is hard, and 
difficult to work, it needs humus, which can be 
most economically supplied with Peat Moss. One 
bale of our high grade Granulated Peat Moss con¬ 
tains approximately 22 bushels when pulverized 
and will cover 250 sq. ft. of space 1 inch deep. In 
making new lawns, Peat Moss is most helpful. How¬ 
ever, as a top dressingifor old lawns, it produces 
excellent results. 
Peat is equally beneficial when used in the 
perennial border, about the roots of trees, shrubs 
and evergreens. 
Winterberry 
SWEETSHRUB

perfect form and purity of color an unusually 
long time and are exquisitely scented. The bush

oval leaves, dull green above, glaucous beneath
