Taxus Cuspidata Capitata 
THE BEAUTY-BUSH 
( Kolkwilzia ) 
A native of Korea, this fine shrub makes itself 
at home here in N^ew England and is a valuable 
garden subject. Its pink flowers are produced in 
long, graceful sprays in June. $1.00 each. 
BUTTERFLY BUSH 
(. Buddleia) 
This shrub is one of the outstanding August- 
flowering garden plants. It grows to a height of 
5 or 6 feet, but it dies back to the ground each 
Winter and comes up like an herbaceous peren¬ 
nial in the Spring, bearing myriad spikes of lilac 
or pink blossoms throughout most of the Sum¬ 
mer. Ask for Buddleia “lie de France,” rosy- 
purple, or Buddleia, “Charming,” rich pink. 
75c. each, $2.00 for 3

The Formal Touch . . . 
THE YEW TREE 
The Yews, both upright and spreading varie¬ 
ties, are the very choicest of all the evergreens 
for formal garden use. They are fully hardy in 
sun or shade and suitable for planting as speci- 
ments, in groups for mass effects, or for hedges. 
Taxus cuspidata capitata. The upright type 
of Yew best for formal accent-points in the 
garden or foundation planting. It retains its 
broad conical shape with a minimum of shear¬ 
ing. Fine, symmetrical trees, 2 to 2J4 feet, 
$3.50 each; 2Jfj to 3 feet, $5.00; 3 to 3J<j feet, 
$7.50. Larger specimens up to $25.00 each. 
(See special nursery catalogue for complete 
list of Yews and other hardy evergreens).

ILEX VERTICILLATA 
No other shrub carries the quantities of bright 
scarlet berries that are, under favorable condi¬ 
tions, found on this native of New England. 
However, Ilex is imperfect-flowered, and it is 
important that plants of different sex be planted 
near each other to insure effective cross-pollina¬ 
tion. We offer sex-identified plants, and recom¬ 
mend planting in groups of three. 
Price per group of 3 plants, $2.35 
Ilex Verticillata 
HARDY HEDGE PLANTS 
Many shrubs and evergreens are suitable 
for hedging purposes. Planted close to¬ 
gether and sheared occasionally, they de¬ 
velop a dense, twiggy growth quite unlike 
their natural habit. These are the com¬ 
monly-used hedge materials: 
Japanese Barberry. Excellent for a low 
hedge, either close sheared or of natural 
growth. 15 to 18 in., $15.00 per 100; 
18 to 24 in., $18.00 per 100. 
Amur River Privet. Upright-growing, 
with glossy green foliage, exceptionally 
hardy. 2 to 3 ft., $15.00 per 100; 
3 to 4 ft., $22.50 per 100. 
California Privet. Quick-growing, glossy 
green, for formal hedges to “finish” from 
2J^ to 6 ft. high, where low cost is 
essential. 18 to 24 in., $7.50 per 100, 
2 to 3 ft., $9.00 per 100. 
Evergreen Hedges. Several of our hardy 
evergreens respond so readily to shearing 
that they become excellent hedge mate¬ 
rial. Hemlock, Norway Spruce, White 
Pine, and Japanese Yew may be recom¬ 
mended. Prices on application.
