Crape-myrtle 
BUSH-HONEYSUCKLE 
LONICERA FRAGRANTISSIMA. Prob¬ 
ably the most desirable Bush-honey- 
suckle. Attractive deep green foliage, 
some of which is retained throughout 
the Vinter in the latitude of Cairo. 
Small, inconspicuous white flowers which 
are very fragrant. 
CRAPE-MYRTLE 
LAGERSTROEMIA INDICA. This 
truly Southern shrub is not used as 
much as its beauty deserves. Excellent 
in the shrub border or as a specimen. 
Purple and Pink. 6 to 8-foot specimen 
only, $2.50 each, bare root. 
Our Red Crape-myrtle is an especially 
fine dwarf strain, having unusually 
large racemes of deep red flowers. 
1 -year and 2-year only. 
ORNAMENTAL FLOWERING SHRUBS 
Color has invaded every part of the home, some parts of which were once dull and drab. But color 
has always been a prominent factor in the flower garden. With the ever increasing popularity of the 
outdoor living room, the flowering shrubs have again come into their own. The general scheme is to 
use the Broadleaved Evergreen for the background and for screening out undesirable views, and to 
depend largely on our excellent flowering shrubs to give the succession of vivid colors which make the 
shrub border of the outdoor living room always a place of joy and beauty. Thunbergi Spirea is among 
the first to open its lovely blossoms to welcome spring. Flowering Peach, the Bush-honeysuckle and • 
Spirea vanhouttei follow close on their heels. When summer becomes hot and sultry and most annuals 
and perennials are gone, the shrub border would become quite drab and uninteresting were it not for 
Althaea and Crape-myrtle. Althaea may be had in Double White, Double Purple or the loveliest of 
Shell Pink. It seems to rival Crape-myrtle in the length of the blooming season. The popular dwmrf red 
Crape-myrtle is practically indispensable at this season of the year. Don’t miss the joys of these flowering 
plants in your garden. All are inexpensive and at home in practically any soil.
