FLOWERING SHRUBS 
See Color Pages 20 and 21 for Illustrations 
ALMOND, Double Flowering Pink. One of the very earliest 
shrubs to bloom. Low bushes grow 2 to 4 feet high and are 
covered early in the spring before the leaves appear with great 
masses of little pink roselike flowers. 2 to 3 ft., 60c; 2 for #1.00 
BUDDLEIA. (Pot Plants.) (See page 37 for color illustration.) 
No plant will fit more easily into any shrub planting than will 
the Buddleias. Plant the smallest slip of a rooted bush into 
any plant arrangement. Put it in good soil and then give it 
good cultivation and in six weeks time you have a large, fast' 
growing bush that is beginning to show its developing buds. 
Within another two weeks this plant will be entirely covered 
with beautiful long lilacdike blooms which will continue in full 
bloom right up to killing frost. These new and finer varieties 
are far superior to the old Butterfly Bush as it was first sent 
out. We offer 5 distinct colors this spring: 
Dubonnet, deep wine-red, 60c 
Eleanor, soft lavender-blue, 60c 
Hartwegi, light lavender, yellow eyes, 40c 
He de France, dark purple-red, 40c 
Pink Charming, beautiful pink, 50c 
COTONEASTER ocutifolia. Hardiest of the Cotoneasters. A beau' 
tiful, very symmetrical growing, graceful shrub that we think 
one of the finest shrubs we grow here. It has a rich deep green 
foliage that looks as though it were varnished. This rich foliage 
remains all through the summer no matter what the weather 
may be. Splendid for shady places. One of the most beautiful 
hedge plants for the North. 18 to 24 in., 35c; 10 for #2.50 
2 to 3 ft., 45c; 10 for #3.50 
ELDER, Golden. The Golden Elder is the best shrub to plant to 
give a golden effect among other shrubs. The leaves are a 
beautiful bright gold from early spring until late fall. Does best 
planted in the sun. 18 to 24 in., 35c; 2 for 60c 
2 to 3 ft., 60c; 2 for #1.00 
ELDER, Red Berried. A native shrub of Minnesota and Wiscon- 
sin. A beautiful shrub to grow where a large, tall shrub is 
needed. Plant covered from midseason to frost with great 
bunches of brilliant scarlet'red berries. Very ornamental, and 
a shrub you should have. 2 to 3 ft., each 60c; 2 for #1.00 
EUONYMUS alatus. (New.) A very striking shrub to grow for 
individual specimens both about the house or in the border. 
Low growing, up to 3 or 4 feet. Spreads out into a round, 
dense, shapely shrub, with dark rich green bark, limbs heavily 
winged. Foliage rich green changing in fall to a very rich 
reddish yellow. 2-year bushes, 60c each; 2 for #1.00 
FONTANESIA Fortunei. Another beautiful new shrub absolutely 
unlike anything else we have. A very rapid growing shrub 
often reaching 10 feet. Grows very upright into a narrow, tall 
pyramid of very slender, graceful, upward growing branches, 
heavily covered with narrow sharply pointed deep green leaves. 
Covered with clusters of small white flowers. Hardy as far 
north as Massachusetts. Makes a fine self'trimmed pyramid. 
2 to 3 ft., 55c; 2 for #1.00 
HIGH BUSH CRANBERRY. Beautiful ornamental shrub, also 
produces great quantities of brilliant red berries which make 
up into fine beautiful jelly.

18 to 24 in., 50c; 3 for #1.35; 10 for #4.00 
2 to 3 ft., 60c; 3 for #1.50; 10 for #5.00 
HONEYSUCKLE, Upright White. The bush Honeysuckle makes 
one of our finest shrubs, especially where a large shrub is 
needed. Very hardy, will grow almost anywhere. Covered 
with pure white flowers followed by beautiful red berries much 
relished by the birds. 
18 to 24 in., 25c; 5 for #1.00

drangea. Comes into bloom in July and continues until frost.
