tively little added expense over and above a small order, 
so we pass this saving on to you in additional premium 
value. Two persons may combine orders and divide the 
premiums if sent in to us as one order for shipment to 
one person. 
These offers effective until April 1, 1940. only. Our 
supply of these ghoice items is too limited to guarantee 
furnishing them after April 1st. However, on all cash 
orders received after April 1st, we will include the Blue¬ 
berries and Cotoneasters offered above if still in stock, 
but if not we will include additional nursery stock of 
our own selection as to variety and value. 
There is nothing that can quite take the 
■ place of the Cotoneaster—a shrub of un- 
unsual beauty and attractiveness, with many effective ways 
of planting about the home grounds. As individual speci¬ 
mens, and for foundation plantings, they are superb; for 
hedge rows, and as a decorative screen, they are ideal. 
We have selected Foveolata as a variety most widely 
embodying the best characteristics of all Cotoneasters, and 
because it is one of the hardiest. 
The foliage of Foveolata is a deep, dark glossy green 
from spring until late in the autumn. Then the leaves turn 
to a rich red and orange color, remaining on the bush for 
a considerable time. 
In June Foveolata is densely covered with small, pink 
flowers, followed in September with myriads of berries turn¬ 
ing to a glossy, purplish black. It is a tall, upright grower, 
attaining at maturity a height of 8 to 10 feet. 
We are fortunate in having a supply of strong 12- to 18- 
inch transplants, that we are offering our customers this year 
at The extremely low price of Only 50c Each, Net.
