Barberry, Green 
No shrub in existence is so generally planted and has 
so many practical purposes as Japanese Barberry. It 
hasn't one serious fault, and can be grown in semi-shade, 
moist, dry or sunny locations. When grown as specimen 
plants or as an edging to taller shrubs its graceful arch¬ 
ing branches, covered with the most luxuriant deep green 
foliage in summer and beautiful bright red berries all 
winter; are the most attractive sight imaginable. 
Barberry, Red Leaf 
Similar to B. Thunbergi in all respects except that the 
foliage is of a bronzy red color which turns to fiery red 
in autumn. Plant in full sun for best results. 
Fire Bush, Cydonia Japonica 
Very early in the spring this fine attractive shrub is 
completely covered with dazzling scarlet flowers which 
are followed by small fragrant quince-shaped fruits. 
Foliage is dark glossy green. 
Forsythia 
SPECTABILIS. The earliest blooming. Lights up the gar¬ 
den with glinting masses of yellow very early in the 
spring, before the leaves appear. These bright golden 
flowers often appear before the snow is gone and are 
twice the size of the other varieties. Thrives in any 
locality. Tall grower. 
Bush Honeysuckle 
For a tall hedge to screen an unsightly view there is 
no shrub so valuable, as it will grow from 10 to 12 feet 
high in a few years. Besides it is a beautiful thing both 
summer and winter, as it is the first shrub to clothe itself 
with leaves in the spring. Its light crimson flowers and 
luxuriant foliage are a delight in summer and the thou¬ 
sands of bright berries give a charming touch of color to 
the winter landscape. 
Beautiful Hydrangeas 
PANICULATA GRANDIFLORA. Flowers in August in huge 
panicles from 8 to 12 inches long. Blossoms first a 
delicate pink changing to bronze and lasting until 
autumn. 
ARBORESCENS GRANDIFLORA (Snowball Hydrangea). 
White flowers in June and July. The most hardy of 
the Hydrangeas and especially useful for shady places. 
French Lilacs 
New large, very fragrant. The newest varieties in four 
colors. Red, white, pink and blue. Two-year blooming 
size plants. Each, 50c; 4 for $1.50. 
Common Snowball, Opulus Sterile 
A fine shrub, 8 to 1 0 feet tall, bearing globes of snowy 
flowers in May. One of the old garden favorites. 
FALL IS AN IDEAL TIME TO 
PLANT SHRUBS AND TREES 
French Pussy Willow 
(Salix Discolor) 
A small tree with attractive leaves 2 inches long by an 
inch wide. Its popular appeal is the conspicuous silky 
catkins which bud in the fall, and make such delightful 
"springy" bouquets just as the snow is melting away. 
New Snowberry 
The Snowberry is the greatest shrub for shady places 
that we have ever seen introduced. It grows to a height 
of 4 feet. Has long branches covered with lacy leaves. 
The branches are covered in late fall with a mass of 
berries. Don't fail to plant some of these in your shady 
locations. We can furnish them in red and white. 
Spirea 
ANTHONY WATERER. Low-growing, very bushy plant 
that bears small heads of bright crimson flowers in July 
and August, or you might say on until frost. This va¬ 
riety rarely exceeds 3 feet in height and is valuable 
for planting in front of taller shrubs. 
CALLOSA FROEBELI. Large flat clusters of pink flowers 
nearly all summer. Dwarf in habit. Fine for border 
plantings. 
Mock Orange 
VIRGINAL. Blooms throughout the season. This is a new 
and wonderful addition to the Mock Orange family and 
is far beyond anything in this line that has been 
brought out in the past. It is without question one 
of the most beautiful shrubs and once it becomes 
known will be planted on every home ground. 
Weigelas 
FLORIBUNDA. The everblooming red Weigela floribunda 
surpasses everything in a red-flowering shrub. Much 
hardier than Eva Rathke and a better red flower. The 
flowers commence blooming early in the spring and 
bloom profusely all summer long. The leaves are glossy 
green. Every customer should find a place for several 
of these beautiful shrubs in their border plantings. 
ROSEA. One of the finest of fhe family, tall growing and 
vigorous with deep pink flowers. They blossom in pro¬ 
fusion in June and show some flowers throughout the 
season.
