Deciduous Shrubs 
Flowering Almorul 
Amygdalus alba nana (Dwarf White Flowering Almond). If you 
want a shrub that will give you about the utmost in cheerfulness 
for your garden, this is one of the best. This is a small shrub of 
many erect branches which in early spring are a solid mass of 
very double white flowers that make excellent sprays for cutting. 
This shrub sheds its leaves for a short period during the winter.

Amygdalus rosea nana (Dwarf Pink Flowering Almond). This 
deciduous shrub is everything that the white variety is, plus the 
addition of exquisite shell pink flowers. The stems of the branches 
will be so solidly covered with bloom that they cannot be seen. 
The foliage does not appear until after the flower petals have 
dropped. The flowering almond should be planted in full sun to 
promote the heavy flowering characteristics. Gal. containers, 40c. 
FLOWERING ALMOND 
Street Shrub 
Calycanthus floridus. This large growing shrub is of particular 
interest because the color of the flowers is one which is very 
seldom found in plant life, that of a rich chocolate brown. The 
blooms are not only odd in color, but possess a delicious fragrance, 
pleasing to everyone. The shrub attains a height of approximately 
12 feet and is well covered with luxuriant foliage. This plant will 
do best if allowed full sun, where the flowers will appear in late 
spring or early summer. Gal. containers, 40c. 
U bite Flowering Quince 
Cydonia japonica alba. No shrub in our garden will present a 
more spring like appearance than the flowering Quince, regard¬ 
less of color. This white variety is one that will give endless joy 
because of the quantity of bouquet material that it will produce 
year after year. The flowers will be over one inch in diameter 
and pure white in color. Because the flowers appear in spring 
before the foliage comes out, this is an excellent shrub for floral 
use. Gal. containers, 40c. 
Fink Flowering Quince 
Cydonia japonica rosea. This pink flowering variety is all that 
the preceding one is with the addition of beautiful salmon pink 
flowers. One use that we would suggest for this deciduous shrub 
is in a hedge. Where the plant is trimmed in this manner, and 
trimmed regularly, it will have a tendency to force the blooming 
period well into the summer with the flowers shewing on the in¬ 
side of the hedge, making an extremely striking effect. This 
flowering Quince is also very beautiful as a specimen plant, or 
in combination with other shrubs in mass planting. Gal. con¬ 
tainers, 40c. 
Golden Kell 
Forsythia fortunei. This is one of the most rapid growing decidu¬ 
ous shrubs that one can plant. The tall, gracefully arching stems 
are literally covered with bright yellow flowers in spring. The 
foliage which follows the flowers is of a very lush, dark green 
coloring. The shrub grows to about 6 feet in height and is of a 
rather open, spreading habit. It will do well in either full sun or 
partial shade. Gal. 35c. 
Beauty Kush 
Kolkwitzia amabilis. This is a truly amazing shrub in the 
beauty it will lend to your garden. It is one of the most free bloom¬ 
ing plants which we have to offer. The individual flowers are 
about the same size and shape as the Abelia but the coloring is 
much more striking, being a combination of pink, mottled with 
orange. The shrub attains a height of about 6 feet and requires full 
sun for best results. The flowering period is in the spring and will 
be in bloom for several weeks. Gal. 40c. 
Crepe Myrtle 
Lagerstroemia (Dwarf Lavender Crepe Myrtle). This is probably 
the smallest growing variety of all of the Crepe Myrtles and really 
should be classed as a shrub rather than as a tree. The flowers 
which appear in late summer are a beautiful shade of light laven¬ 
der and are borne in rather heavy clusters on the new growth 
throughout the plant. This is very decidedly a sun lover and one 
which does not require a great deal of water. Gal. containers, 40c; 
5-gal. containers, $1.70; tubs, $4.00. 
Lagerstroemia (New Purple Crepe Myrtle). This is the darkest 
color which we have to offer in this beautiful tree, the flowers 
being a definite purple on the reddish side. At a short distance 
the shaggy petals of the individual flowers blend together into 
what appears to be very large spikes, when then tree is in full 
bloom during the summer. Gal. containers, 40c; 5-gal. containers, 
$1.70. 
Lagerstroemia (Watermelon Red Crepe Myrtle). A brilliant, cheer¬ 
ful variety which is between the pink and the red in coloring, 
making a wonderful showing during the bloom period. The tree 
attains a height of about 20 feet and develops a good spread with 
a fairly dense foliage. The mottled trunk, together with the odd 
color of the foliage makes this a very striking plant at any time 
of the year. Gal. containers, 40c; 5-gal, containers, $1.70; tubs, 
$4.00. 
Lagerstroemia indica alba (White Crepe Myrtle). With the in¬ 
creased popularity of white flowers during recent years, this 
white variety of crepe myrtle has come into its own. The habit 
of growth is the same as the other varieties and as there are few 
trees that will produce the mass of bloom that this one will, we 
take pleasure in recommending it for your garden. Because of its 
root system requirements, this and others of the crepe myrtle 
family make an especially good street tree where there are narrow 
parkway strips between curb and sidewalk. Gal. containers, 50c; 
5-gal. containers, $1.70; tubs, $4.00. 
Lagerstroemia indica rosea (Pink Crepe Myrtle). This pink variety 
was the first to be imported to this country from Asia and is still 
one of the best varieties we have to offer. The shaggy pink 
blossoms which appear in early summer will always attract atten¬ 
tion wherever they are planted. The shrub attains tree proportions 
rather slowly but is one that will have very long life. This small 
tree is even ornamental when it is without leaves during the 
winter time because of the beautiful mottling of the bark on the 
trunk. Gal. containers, 35c. 
Lagerstroemia indica rubra (Red Crepe Myrtle). Probably the most 
brilliant of all the dark colored crepe myrtles, and one which is 
prolific in blooming habit. Like the others of this family, it does 
best in full sun and will make one of the best ornamental small 
trees that one could possibly plant. The color of the blossoms is 
a very good shade of red and one that will not clash with other 
colors of your garden. Gal. containers, 35c; 5-gal. containers, 
$1.70. 
Sweet Mttck Orange 
Philadelphus coronarious. This is a fast growing, excessively 
free flowering, deciduous shrub whose blooms put out a delicate 
fragrance in the early spring. The shrub grows to a height of 
about 8 feet, and the flowers are a pure white color about 1 Vi 
inches in diameter and borne very heavily on the new slendei 
branches. This shrub will do better in full sun. Gal. containers, 35c.
