Forsythia Spectabilis 
Earliest blooming. Lights up the landscape with glinting yellow 
before the leaves appear. Flowers often come out before the 
snow is gone. This is the large flowering variety, having flowers 
twice the size of the older kinds. Thrives in any locality. Grows 
8 to 10 feet tall. May be pruned. 
Shrub Dogwood - Cornus 
CORNUS, RED TWIG. Grows 6 to 8 feet high, with clusters of 
fine white flowers; white berries. Stems and branches turn to 
blood-red in winter. 
C., YELLOW TWIG. Similar in habit to Red Twig except the bark 
is a beautiful golden yellow. 
C., ELEGANTISSIMA. Grows 4 to 5 feet high, with purplish red 
bark and striking variegated foliage. This is one of the choic¬ 
est variegated-leaved shrubs, capable of refined compact 
shape by proper pruning. 
Double Pink Flowering Almond 
Double Red Althea 
Rhamnus Cathartica 
COMMON BUCKTHORN 
Much used for hedging and backgrounds. 
Grows very dense and twiggy with very heavy 
dark green foliage. Masses of white flowers in 
summer followed by dark red and black berries. 
Rhamnus Frangula 
ALDER BUCKTHORN 
Same characteristics as Rhamnus Cathartica 
except it grows more slender shaped and the 
leaves are smaller and thinner. 
Flowering Almond 
Earliest spring flowering shrub, in full bloom 
before the leaves appear. Beautiful pearly pink 
double blooms snuggle tight to the twigs, com¬ 
pletely covering the bush. Medium height. 
Althea - Rose of Sharon 
Tall, beautiful flowering shrubs, distinctive 
because of their blooms. Double flowers re¬ 
semble roses with tightly curved petals. Color 
shades stand out vividly in group plantings or 
as specimens. Very worth-while plant to buy, 
as they are easily grown, unusually hardy and 
bloom long and lavishly. Note: the Altheas are 
very late in leafing out in the spring. Do not be 
alarmed if they stand dormant up into June. 
We offer 5 distinct and beautiful colors: 
Vivid Red, Pink, White, Blue, and Variegated. 
Your choice at 35c each or 5 for $1.50, post¬

Common Buckthorn 
Aron ia 
(Chokeberry) 
Attractive shrub growing 
to a height of six feet. Fo¬ 
liage a delightful green, 
changing to flaming shades 
of red in the fall. Masses of 
brilliant berries make this 
shrub especially desirable. 
Does well in shade. 
Caragana Arborescens 
Bushy, dwarf tree reaching 12 to 15 feet at 
maturity. Heavy, fine foliage. Masses of yellow 
blooms in late May or early June, followed by 
clusters of drooping pods in fall. 
Sweet-Scented Shrub 
A favorite in all old gardens and admired 
for its spicy aroma. Peculiarly shaped brown 
blossoms during most of the summer followed 
by attractive seed pods. 4 to 6 feet when ma¬ 
tured. 
Euonymus Alatus 
An attractive shrub because of its heavily 
ridged branches. Flutings resemble layers of 
cork. Foliage is especially fine in autumn when 
it changes to many brilliant shades.
