People are appreciating more the per¬ 
manent value and beauty of shrubs. The 
charm and grace they lend to home 
grounds is invaluable, and if judicious 
selection is made, it is possible to have 
a continuous succession of bloom from 
early in April to the days when the frost 
again nips the flowers of the very latest 
blooms. 
ALMOND—Pink flowering, grows to 3 to 
4 feet high. Blooms in April. Very at¬ 
tractive shrub. The plants are usually 
thickly studded with double pink flow¬ 
ers of medium size from base to tip 
of branch. 12 to 18 inch size, 30c each; 
four for $1.00. 
ALTHEA or ROSE OF SHARON—We 
have these in White, Pink, Red, and 
Purple. The Pink and Purple varieties 
are the best. The Altheas are fine, 
free-growing flowering shrubs of very 
easy cultivation. Desirable on account 
of flowering in August and September, 
when nearly every other shrub or tree 
is out of bloom. They require some 
pruning each spring. 2 to 3 foot size, 
extra heavy, 50c each; 4 for $1.50; 3 to 
4 foot size, 60c each; 4 for $2.00. 
BARBERRY—NEW RED-LEAVED—A 
brilliantly colored shrub with its 
bronzy-red leaves all season, becoming 
brilliant orange-scarlet in the fall. It 
adds a touch of color among greens of 
the other plants. Plant in full sunlight. 
Grows 3 feet tall. Heavy 12 to 18 inch 
size, 50c each; 3 for $1.25. 18 to 24 
inch size, 75c each, 3 for $2.00. 
BARBERRY — JAPANESE — Probably 
the most widely planted low growing 
shrub. Ideal for border and foundation 
plantings. Makes a low, dense rounded 
bush 3 feet tall. Grows in the sun or 
partial shade. The foliage colors a 
beautiful red in the fall, with red ber¬ 
ries which hang all winter. 18 to 24 
inch size, 40c each; 3 for $1.00; 24 to 
30 inch size, 55c each; 3 for $1.25. 
BUTTERFLY BUSH (Summer Lilac)— 
It makes large shrubs for park plant¬ 
ing. Single plants will often have 50 
or more flower spikes the first year. 
The second year after planting it gen¬ 
erally begins to bloom in June and con¬ 
tinues throughout the summer until 
frost nips it. The flowers are produced 
on long, graceful stems that terminate 
in tapering panicles of beautiful lilac- 
colored flowers of miniature size and 
borne by the hundreds on flower heads 
frequently 10 inches long. This admir¬ 
able shrub should be classed as semi- 
herbaceous, as it sometimes freezes 
back to the ground in severe winters, 
but comes up again from the roots. 
Heavy No. 1 plants, 35c each; 3 for 
$1.00.' 
CRAPE MYRTLE—Familiar to every¬ 
one living in Oklahoma, Texas, and 
other southern states. It has small, 
very dark green shining leaf, and blos¬ 
soms in August and September in pan¬ 
icles of peculiar but attractive flowers. 
The Pink and Watermelon Red are the 
hardiest and most showy varieties. 18 
to 24 inch size, 35c each; 2 to 3 foot 
size at 50c each; 3 to 4 foot, heavy, 
75c each. 
DESMODIUM—Valuable for great pro¬ 
fusion of pea-shaped, rose-purple flow¬ 
ers in September to late October.

gracefully, being loaded down with 
blooms. The tops lie back in the win¬ 
ter. Useful in shrub masses or borders. 
Heavy plants 50c each. 
DEUTZIA, Pride of Rochester—A fine 
double variety rather early. Flowers 
pink in bud, white when full expanded. 
2 to 3 foot size, 50c each. 
ELDER, Golden—The white, flat-topped 
panicles of bloom appear in the early 
summer; but the golden-yellow color 
of the leaves is the chief attraction, 
making the plant conspicuous among 
the darker green. 2 to 3 foot size, 50c 
each 
FORSYTHIA, Golden Bell — The For- 
sythias are the first shrub to bloom in 
the early spring, the small yellow 
flowers covering the branches before 
the tardy leaves appear. 18 to 24 inch 
size, 35c each; 2 to 3 foot size, 50c

size, 50c each; 3 for $1.35.

solid low borders or foundation plant¬ 
ings; does well in the shade. Two
