Oriental Bittersweet

Every home should have a bittersweet 
vine on the fence or a trellis. Takes prac- 
tically no room and produces abundant 
material for winter bouquets, as well as a 
pretty vine in summer. The well known 
orange-red fruits are prized for their decora¬ 
tive value. Our plants are extra heavy, field- 
grown. Special price, each, 45c; two, 80c; 
six, $2.00.

A rare, unusual tree that has not been offered before so far 
as we know. All the grace and beauty of the willow tree with 
its majestic top of arching branches. But this tree is different 
because the limbs and twigs are twisted in a sort of spiral or 
corkscrew fashion, giving the tree a most unusual and striking 
effect. Be sure to include this novelty in your order. Price: 3-4 
ft. trees, each, 49c; two, 75c; three, $1.05.

May Day Tree 
Corkscrew Willow 
(Prunus Padus Commutata) 
For sheer beauty of bloom no tree or shrub excels the 
May Day. Its long, fine white flowers early in spring create 
a massive bouquet of sheer loveliness that is alluringly won¬ 
derful. 
First tree to show green in spring—practically in full 
leaf long before many of the common trees begin to leaf. 
The flowers are large, pure white, and fragrant. Their mass¬ 
like clusters are a beautiful sight, and are well adapted to 
cutting. Blooms early in spring, in April or early May, and 
always several weeks earlier than any other flowering tree. 
(Picture at left.) 
The fruit is small and, though edible and good for 
jelly, is soon claimed by the birds in preference to what 
we consider better fruit. Thus our good fruit is saved, yet 
the birds are fed. 
May Day may be trimmed up for street, lawn, or shade 
tree or left in bush form. Coming from eastern Siberia, it 
is perfectly hardy anywhere. Will not send up suckers 
from the roots. 
Price: two-year, each, 75c; two, $1.38; three, $1.69.
