(Kolkwizca Amabilis) 
At the request of 
many of my customers who have bought 
this shrub from me years ago I am listing 
it again. It is a mass of pink flowers in 
May and June when this shrub blooms. 
The branches are nicely arched, the flow¬ 
ers are %-inch across, and the shrub is 
reasonably hardy, from here north it 
should have a mulch of straw or leaves 
over winter. Will grow to a height of 
3 to -1 feet. 18-24 inch nice shrubs, 65c 
each: 3 for $1.75; postpaid. 
Butterfly Bush 
new hush every year, and grows to a 
height of 4 to 5 ft. The flowers appear¬ 
ing through the greater part of the sum¬ 
mer are of soft lilac color in long taper¬ 
ing spikes. Note photo on lower left 
which shows the graceful arching of the 
branches. My plants consist of nice 
strong roots, ready to grow and bloom.

lie de France—Butterfly 
An ini P 10v ed strain of the above 
jjuaii variety, and a most sensational 
creation. Its extreme freedom of bloom¬

lilac color of its blossoms is a shade rare¬ 
ly found in flowers. In bloom from Aug¬ 
ust until frost in the fall. The root is 
entirely hardy, makes a new hush every 
spring. Nice strong roots, 45c each; 3 for 
$1.20; postpaid.

WATERING FOR THE FIRST SUMMER 
In case of very dry weather the first year 
I recommend occasional watering of 
shrubs. Take away some soil around 
each bush, forming a shallow basin, fill 
this up two or three times with water, 
and the following day replace the dry top 
soil. This will keep your shrubs In good 
moisture for two or three weeks. 
Forsythia Fortuni f 0 e '? e "picture 
above. Grows up to 7 ft. One of the 
finest flowering shrubs in early spring, 
the brilliant golden yellow flowers ap¬ 
pearing before the leaves develop, and 
coming in greatest freedom. Very showy. 
The shrub is of upright growth, foliage 
rich dark green. Forsythias are hardy 
everywhere. 12 to 18 inch nice plants, 
25c each; 3 for 65c; 10 for $2.00; post¬

R SHRUBS 
Weeping Forsythia £&£ 
Suspensa.) 5 ft. tall. The flowers 
are much like those of Forsythia 
Fortuni as pictured above, and 
also appear in great abundance; 
however, the branches are grace¬ 
fully arched, having a weeping 
effect. The brilliant yellow color 
of the flowers, coming at a time 
in early spring when few flow r ers 
are found outdoors creates much 
attention. Forsythias are easy to grow, 
and are hardy. 12 to 18 inch plants, 30c 
each; 3 for 80c; 10 for $2.40. 2-3 ft. nice

(Sambucus C a n a- 
densis Aurea.) 
Makes a large shrub 8 to 10 ft. tall, and 
branching out well to make a pyramidal 
shape. Fits in well with groups of large 
shrubs, or for background planting, where 
its pretty foliage of golden yellow color 
contrasts well with the green of other 
shrubs. Blooms in July in large flat 
white clusters of blossoms, followed later 
by clusters of black berries. The latter 
are an attraction for birds. A highly 
desirable shrub for its foliage, perfectly 
hardy everywhere. 12 to 18 inch nice 
plants, 30c each; 3 for 80c; 2-3 ft. well 
shaped shrubs, 50c each; 3 for 45c; post-
