RHUS LACINIATA 
RHUS 
Sumacs are numerous in variety and 
uses. Particularly sought for the bright 
Autumn coloring of the foliage. Ideal 
for groups, clumps, background or plant¬ 
ing in, or around rocky places. 
Rhus Canadensis (Fragrant Sumac) 
Shrubby compact, small foliaged plant. 
Leaves, and bark spicy fragrant. Colors 
beautifully in Autumn. 
Rhus Glabra (Smooth or common Sumac) 
8-10 ft. Smooth shiny bark. Produces 
red plumes of seed in Autumn. Foliage 
colors nicely. 
Rhus Laciniata (Cut-leaved Sumac) 6-8 
ft. The lower growing Sumac. Rather 
spreading in habit. Deeply cut lacy foli¬ 
age wich turns a bright crimson in Au¬ 
tumn. For groups or low background and 
for planting around rock gardens and 
pools. 
Phus Rubra (Red Sumac). Similar to 
Glabra, more brilliant colored foliage and 
rougher bark. 
RIBES 
Ribes Alpinum (Alpine Currant) 4-5 
ft. Dwarf, compact, very bushy. Small, 
glossy green foliage which comes out very 
early. A very desirable shrub for low 
groups, borders, foundation planting or 
hedges. 
Ribes Aurea (Flowering Currant) 5-6 ft. 
The sweet, spicy-smelling shrub we all 
remember so well from our Grand¬ 
mother’s garden, again becoming very 
popular. Grows upright and bushy, foli¬ 
age dark green, deeply edged. Blossoms 
in May, bright yellow, sweet, spicy- 
scented. Will thrive in any goOd soil. 
ROSES 
In spite of the failures some¬ 
times reported in growing roses, 
the rose still remains the Queen of 
flowers. The chief trouble lies in 
roses winter killing. This can be 
overcome: first — by growing 
strong healthy tops and roots by 
proper feeding during the sum¬ 
mer; second—by covering or pro¬ 
tecting them in the winter with a 
loose straw mulch. 
Following is a list of the hardier 
varieties we grow successfully.

ing fine cut flowers all summer.
