PHILADELPHUS, VIRGINAL 
Finest of the Philadelphus 
Semi-double. White. Everblooming. Everything considered this is the most 
sensational of all the Philadelphus. In fact, we regard it the most valuable 
acquisition to the flower garden of recent years. The bush is a moderately 
strong grower, with us attaining a height of 6 to 7 feet. Rather open, sparse 
foliage to make the wonderful blooms all the more conspicuous. Flowers pure 
white, semi-double, often 2 inches in diameter. Begins to bloom about June 
17th with us, and blooms profusely for about 3 weeks. Then it rests a few 
weeks and starts to bloom again, continuing with a small amount of bloom 
until frost.

The Finest New Shrub Brought Out in the Past 50 Years 
KOLKWITZIA (Beauty Bush). A beautiful new shrub that Chinese 
Wilson brought to us from China. Let stand a couple of years 
when it begins to bloom, and from then on each year it gives a mass 
of little pink flowers so densely packed that all one sees is a great mass 
of delicate pink. Fine 18 to 24 in., 40c each 
PRUNUS cistena. Prof. Hansen’s famous Red-Leaved Cherry. A won¬ 
derful low-growing intense red-leaved cherry that grows in bush form 
up to a height of 6 feet. Foliage brilliant red all summer. After pass¬ 
ing southern end of Lake Michigan, color much more intense than in 
the West. Fine for border planting. 2 to 3 ft., 60c; 3 to 4 ft., 75c 
PRUNUS triloba (Rose Tree of China). Beautiful hardy flowering plum, 
covered with little full double rose-like pink blooms before the leaves 
come. Very early. Many people think this is the same as the flower¬ 
ing almond but the Prunus Triloba is much larger. It grows to a height 
of about 6 feet and has a spread of about 6 feet. Blossoms resemble 
the flowering almond except they are larger. We have three on the 
north side of our offlee. When this shrub is in bloom over the city, 
it sells well at the nursery, for everyone like it

FOOD FOR 
THE BIRDS 
Five Great Bird Food Bearing 
Shrubs and Trees 
Everyone- loves the birds and we like to see them have plenty to eat. Now 
we can very easily beautify our grounds and supply food to the birds at the 
same time if we plant beautiful shrubs which bear berries and fruit which the 
birds like as food. We have many of these shrubs planted about our grounds 
and the birds do a good job of eating the fruit. 
We know if we have strawberries, currants, or raspberries in our garden that 
we have a struggle to keep the fruit from the birds. If we have shrubs and 
trees in our yard that bear fruit that the birds like, they will be apt to eat 
these fruits and leave the other fruits alone. 
We- have taken notice of what shrubs and tree fruits the birds particularly 
liked and we advise the planting of these shrubs and trees and we have listed 
them in the order in which they ripen and are- eaten by the birds.
