NOVELTIES OF REAL MERIT 
Without doubt, 1940 will rate as a big year for new shrubs and trees 
of honest merit. It must not be thought, however, that all the novelties 
we offer are on this 
NEW WISTERIA—Blooms Young 
Wisteria Praecox 
A hybrid of Chinese and Japanese, probably. 
Clusters are long, yet full, blue in tone. Photo

the fact that blooming starts in second or third 
year!

2- year grafts . 2.00 15.00 
PINK EVERGREEN ABELIA 
Abelia, Edward Goucher (New) 
A hybrid Grandiflora with bright, clear pink 
blooms, each flower nearly twice the size of the old 
type. The leaf is more nearly evrgreen and the 
plant is hardy in Zone V. Since Abelia grandiflora 
itself was the almost perfect shrub, this new variety 
is sensational!

MAGNOLIA STELLATA 
WATERLILY (New) 
Here is a new shrubby Magnolia introduced by 
us last year without a name. It has every quality 
to make real lasting garden history. It blooms 
two weeks later than M. Stellata hence should 
bloom well in Zone V. It is a truly heavy bloom¬ 
er. The flowers are as pictured, much fuller than 
M. Stellata, and in addition are exquisitely fra¬ 
grant! The pink reverse petals are showier than 
the rare form M. stellata rosea. Growth is strong 
but very bushy, probably to 10 or 12 feet. 
Each 10 
1-year grafts. $3.00 $28.00 
3 feet B&B heavy. 6.00 
VIBURNUM BURKWOODII 
A hybrid introduced from England a few years 
ago. 5 feet, Zone V. Lovers of the May-flower 
Viburnum (V. Carlesii) will find here a flower 
almost identical; more freely produced on a more 
shapely bush—just as fragrant and waxy blush. 
But the leaves "Rre evergreen in Zone VI and 
south! Will in time replace Carlesii. 
15 to 18-in. plants (bushy), $3.50 each; 5 for $14.50
