FLOWERING SHRUBS 
See Color Page 26 for Illustrations 
ALMOND, Double Flowering, Pink or White. One of the very earliest 
shrubs to bloom. Low bushes grow 2 to 4 feet high and are covered 
early in the spring before the leaves appear with great masses of 
little pink or white rose'like flowers. Most people plant the pink 
not realizing how beautiful a shrub the white is. 
Either color: 2 to 3 ft., 60c; 2 for ^1.00. 3 to 4 ft., 75c 
BECHTEL'S DOUBLE FLOWERING CRAB. Purely ornamental. A 
double form of the native wild Crab of Minnesota, Iowa, and Miss¬ 
ouri. Eventually grows to a height of 8 to 10 feet. Covered during 
the blooming season with masses of beautiful double pink flowers 
which look like double pink roses, with the most delightful perfume 
of any known tree. 3 to 4 ft. each, ^1.00; 2 for $ 1.75 
BUDDLEIA. (Pot Plants.) (See page 34 for color illustration.) No 
plant will fit more easily into any shrub planting than will the 
Buddleias. Plant the smallest slip of a rooted bush into any plant 
arrangement. Put it in good soil and then give it good cultivation 
and in six weeks time you have a large, fast-growing bush that is 
beginning to show its developing buds. Within another two weeks 
this plant will be entirely covered with beautiful long lilac-like blooms 
which will continue in full bloom right up to killing frost. These 
new and finer varieties are far superior to the old Butterfly Bush as 
it was first sent out. We offer three distinct colors this spring.
