Golden Elder 
Weeping Forsythia <£ t ° h f a 
Fuspensa.) 5 ft. tall. The flowers 
are much like those of Forsythia 
Fortuni as pictured above, and 
also appear in great abundance: 
however, the branches are grace¬ 
fully arched, having a weeping 
effect. The brilliant yellow color 
of the flowers, coming at a time 
in early spring when few flowers 
are found outdoors creates much 
attention. Forsythias are easy to grow, 
and are hardy. 12 to 18 inch plants, 30c 
each; 3 for 80c; 10 for $2.40. 2-3 ft. nice 
shrubs, 45c each; 3 for $1.20; postpaid. 
(Sambucus C a n a- 
densis A urea.) 
Makes a large shrub S to 10 ft. tall, and 
branching out well to make a pyramidal 
shape. Fits in well with groups of large 
shrubs, or for background planting, where 
its pretty foliage of golden yellow color 
contrasts well with the green of other 
shrubs. Blooms in July in large flat 
white clusters of blossoms, followed later 
by clusters of black berries. The latter 
are an attraction for birds. A highly 
desirable shrub for its foliage, perfectly 
hardy everywhere. 12 
plants, 30c each: 3 for 
shaped shrubs, 45c each; 
paid. 
Also called El¬ 
derberry, the 
green leaf native shrub. See page 16

American Elder 
(Kolkwizca Amabilis) 
ueauiy nusn At the reqU est of 
many of my customers who have bought 
this shrub from me years ago I am listing 
it again. It is a mass of pink flowers in 
May and June when this shrub blooms. 
The branches are nicely arched, the flow¬ 
ers are %-inch across, and the shrub is 
reasonably hardy, from here north it 
should have a mulch of straw or leaves 
over winter. Will grow to a height of 
3 to 4 feet. 18-24 inch nice shrubs, 45c 
each; 3 for $1.20; postpaid.

shrub of early spring. The "bush reaches 
a height of 6 to 10 feet. It is hardy and 
always sure to bloom. 2-3 ft. nice shrubs, 
50c each; 3 for $1.35; prepaid. 
lie de France — Butterfly 
P n cV» An improved strain of Buddleia 
** u,OA1 Magnifica, and a most sensation¬ 
al creation. Its extreme freedom of 
blooming, and the darker and perhaps 
showier lilac color of its blossoms is a 
shade rarely found in flowers. In bloom 
from August until frost in the fall. The 
root is entirely hardy, makes a new bush 
every spring. Nice strong roots, 30c

In case of very dry weather the first year 
I recommend occasional watering of 
shrubs. Take away some soil around 
each bush, forming a shallow basin, fill 
this up two or three times with water, 
and the following day replace the dry top 
soil. This will keep your shrubs In good 
moisture for two or three weeks.
