CRAPE MYRTLE 
The Favorite Flow¬ 
ering Shrub of the 
South. A hardy 
and heavy bloom¬ 
er, it paints the 
landscape with its 
brilliant blossoms 
in tones of crim¬ 
son, red, pink, pur- 
ple and other 
shades. Frequently 
termed the "Lilac 
of the Sout h.” 
Combi nations of 
Crape Myrtle col¬ 
ors make the most 
exquisite effects ob¬ 
tainable. 
Orchid Lavender—Not the ordinary purple 
PRACTICE PRUNING 
PRUNE EVERY WINTER. For best results Crape Myrtles should 
be cut back to one foot of the ground when planted. (By using big 
sizes you get better root systems). Then every year thereafter prune 
them back to within 2 to 4 inches where they were the year before. 
In this way you get much larger flowers, thick branches, and dense 
foliage.

WATERMELON RED Griffing’s L. i. rubra 
Deciduous Flowering Shrub. Ter. 1 to 3. 20 ft. The Watermelon Red 
or cerise color so much desired is very pronounced in this variety. The flower 
heads are exceptionally large and fluffy, the color rich, clear and bright. 
No shrub makes such a gorgeous display in a planting as this. The compact 
natural growth is easily controlled by pruning so as to make a very dwarf 
plant. Our type is recognized as being the best type on the market. 
The most desirable of all Crape Myrtles.
