BEAUTY BUSH 
(Kolkwitzia Amabilis) 
Charming new shrub recently introduced from 
China. Center stems are upright, the outer branches 
gracefully arching. Very attractive foliage. Blooms 
profusely in June. Flowers are bell-shaped, pale 
pink with orange veins, and are borne in long 
clusters along the branches. Does well in shade 
and grows rapidly. 
Earliest blooming. Lights up the landscape with glinting yel- 
low before the leaves appear. Flowers often come out before the 
snow is gone. This is the large flowering variety, having flowers 
twice the size of the older kinds. Thrives in any locality. Grows 
8 ot 10 feet tall. May be pruned. 
NEW GOLDEN SPIREA

(High Bush Cranberry) 
Handsome native shrub 
reaching 10 feet in height 
with smooth, light branches 
and stems. Pure white flow¬ 
ers appear in May and June, 
followed by decorative fruits, 
which begin to color by the 
end of July and remain on 
the branches and keep their 
bright scarlet color until the 
following spring.

(Alder Buckthorn) 
Same characteristics as 
Rhamnus Cathartica except 
it grows more slender shaped Viburnum Opulus 
and the leaves are smaller and thinner. 
ALTHEA - ROSE OF SHARON 
Tall, beautiful flowering shrubs, distinctive because of 
their blooms. Double flowers resemble roses with tightly 
curved petals. Color shades stand out vividly in group 
plantings or as specimens. Very worth-while plant to buy, 
as they are easily grown, unusually hardy and bloom 
long and lavishly. Note: The Altheas are very late in 
leafing out in the spring. Do not be alarmed if they 
stand dormant up into June.

liant shades.
