Spiraea Van Houttei 
PRUNUS - Almond; Plum 
Among the Flowering Prunes are several handsome shrubs 
called variously: Flowering Plums, Flowering Cherries or Flowering 
Almonds. They are so well known that they do not need any intro¬ 
duction. They are very hardy 
Glandulosa alba Each $1.00, Doz. $10.00 
(Flowering Almond.) The small, very double, white rosettes 
grow in great quantities along the stem in late April and early 
May. Lovely when in bloom. Ultimate height about 8 feet. 
Glandulosa rosea Each $1.00, Doz. $10.00 
Produces very double, rose colored flowers in great profusion in 
spring. One of the most charming old-fashioned early flow¬ 
ering shrubs, and is still unsurpassed in beauty in its season. 
Our plants are grown on their own roots, thus insuring extra 
vigor and more lasting satisfaction as well as no "wild suckers." 
Triloba Each $1.00, Doz. $10.00 
(Flowering Plum.) The flowering Plum blooms early in May 
before the leaves come out. The delightful double, quilled, 
bright pink flowers stud every twig and branchlet so heavily no 
wood is visible. Very handsome and should not be left out of 
any garden. Here again we offer plants growing on their own 
roots because they are so much more satisfactory. 
RIBES 
Fasciculatum Each $0.60, Doz. $6.00 
A slender-branching shrub 3 to 6 feet high with 5-lobed leaves 
which become magnificently colored before falling. It bears 
clusters of yellow fragrant flowers during April, and red cur¬ 
rants in autumn. 
SALIX - French Pussy Willow 
Each $0.60, Doz. $6.00 
Not the wild Pussy Willow but a fine cultivated French variety. 
Branches of this variety have been selling at retail during the 
winter months in cities at from $1.00 to $2.00 per dozen. You 
can grow them on your own lawn! Enjoy these dainty silvery 
flowers every winter. A beautiful round shrub in summer or 
use them for tall screens or backgrounds. Cut the ends of the 
branches in January or February. Place them indoors in a vase 
of water. Watch them unfold their large catkins of silver-pink, 
from 1 to 2 inches long. They will repay you many times their 
cost in pleasure. Ultimate height 10 feet. 
SPIRAEA 
A very important family of shrubs. Most Spiraeas are sun-loving, 
but withstand much abuse in location and soil conditions, and 
are a source of joy and satisfaction. 
Bumalda, Crispa Each $0.75, Doz. $7.50 
The crested foliage is most interesting and makes this a much 
more attractive and desirable variety than the common An¬ 
thony Waterer it otherwise resembles. Flowers a deep crimson. 
Blooming all summer. 
Thunbcrgi $0.60, Doz. $6.00 
Especially graceful, grawing about 5 feet tall, and bearing 
hundreds of small white flowers in May. Fine feathery foliaae. 
Extensively used in the foreground of shrub borders. 
Salix—French Pussy Willow 
Prunus Triloba 
Van Houttei (Bridal Wreath) Each $0.50, Doz. $5.00 
The Van Houttei Spirea is commonly called Bridal Wreath and 
is much superior to the true Bridal Wreath, Spiraea Prunifolia, 
which we do not grow any more. Its graceful arching branches 
are covered at Memorial Day with large clusters of white 
flowers. An A-1 plant for shrub border or hedge. 
SYMPHORICARPOS 
Chenaulti $0.60, Doz. $6.00 
This is a slender, arching shrub creating a cascade of foliage 
that is most attractive. This variety in the environment of 
Cleveland retains its foliage until February. It is especially 
well adapted for planting and massing in the foreground of 
bore-legged shrubs, completely shutting out the undesirable 
stems of the taller plants behind it. Does well in shade; ulti¬ 
mate height about four feet. 
Each $0.60, Doz. $6D0 
The finest large-berried variety. One of the most ornamental 
shrubs in winter when the long branches are pendent with the 
weight of the closely set large white berries. Superior in every 
way to the common Rocemosus.
