THOUSAND BEAUTIES (Tausendschoen). A climbing rose which 
produces on the same plant so many different colored flowers that it 
is impossible to describe the variations, hence the fitting name, “Thou¬ 
sand Beauties.” Blooms profusely; double flowers in large clusters. 
The colors run from tender rose through the intermediate shades of 
bright rose and carmine, with white and yellow tints showing. 
YELLOW RAMBLER (Goldfinch). Deep yellow buds borne in large 
clusters, opening into cream colored flowers with yellow centers. A 
strong grower and a free bloomer. Fragrant. 
PAUL’S SCARLET. Full, double, scarlet flowers cover the entire 
plant in a solid vivid mass of flaming red. The petals do not fade 
like those of many climbing roses, but retain their bright color, and 
remain in bloom for from two to four weeks. 
SILVER MOON. Long creamy buds opening to gigantic saucer¬ 
shaped flowers of transparent creamy-white. Extra strong grower. 
CmmnSck RamiLu (Mine. Gregoire Staechelin). A new type

measuring 5 inches across, are borne on 12 to 15 inch stems. One of

large attractive fruits. Vigorous grower; resistant to disease.

This dwarf, Blue-leaved Willow (Salix purpurea) was discovered in the Tundras 
of the North Arctic Circle. It will grow anywhere in either wet or dry soil, and 
will withstand the lowest temperature encountered in this country. Makes an 
ideal low hedge or edging around taller plantings and flower beds. Grows 18 
inches high and may be grown unpruned or trimmed in formal style. Plant 8 
inches apart, 
AMOOR RIVER. Hardy northern type; will withstand 40 degrees 
below zero without injury. Bright green, somewhat lustrous 
leaves; fragrant white flowers followed by blue-black berries. Besides being 
one of our best hedge plants, it is fine for growing on the lawn, and makes 
richly green foliage backgrounds against foundation walls. Set 9 to 12 inches 
apart.

Green-Leaved Japanese Barberry 
Japanese (Berberis Thunbergii). 4 feet. Beautiful shrub 
of neat, dense growth, with graceful drooping branches. 
Yellow flowers, followed by scarlet berries in fall and 
winter. Fine for planting along drives and walks. Indis¬ 
pensable as a foundation shrub, to mix with an evergreen 
planting, or in the foreground of taller shrubs. As a 
hedge plant, set 12 to 18 inches apart. Requires no trim¬ 
ming. 
Red-Leaved Japanese Barberry 
4 feet. Like the green-leaved Japanese Barberry except 
that the color is of a rich, lustrous, bronzy red. If planted 
in a sunny situation, the coloring becomes more brilliant 
and gorgeous as the season advances, and in the fall its 
foliage changes to vivid orange, scarlet and red shades. 
An excellent contrast when planted in the foreground of 
taller green-leaved shrubs, and makes an outstanding hedge 
plant. Brilliant, scarlet berries remain on the plant the 
entire winter. 
Ripe Tomatoes Until December 1st in Detroit 
One of our customers, Mr. H. J. Snyder, 2671 
Crane Ave., Detroit, informs us that he pulled up 
vines of Burgess’ Climbing Trip-L-Crop Tomatoes be¬ 
fore the first frost and hung them on rafters in his 
garage and had ripe tomatoes until December 1st. 
Burgess’ Climbing Trip-L-Crop Tomato vines rap- 
idly grow to a height of 10 to 18 feet—often more 
than 20 feet. Large clusters of fruits are borne all 
the way up the plants from early summer until frost. 
Fruits are large, deep crimson in color, and have an 
exceptionally mild and pleasing flavor. Often one 
plant produces 2 to 3 bushels of fruit. See page 5 
for further particulars.
