Other Deciduous Shrubs 
ACER PALMATUM, JAPANESE MAPLE, (5). These shrubs or small trees are highly es- 
teemed for their slow growth and attractive appearance. In hot sunny climes they need partial 
shade, elsewhere any exposure. Many forms have been developed in Japan. We are growing 
about twenty varieties including the well known ‘‘Ribbonleaf Purple”. “Cutleaf Purple’ (Beni- 
shidare), etc. Leaves of others have many forms, variegated, deeply cut, twisted, etc. Tell us 
the types you want and we will make suitable selections. Pot grown: Cutleaf Purple Weeping 
2 to 24% ft. $2.00, 1% to 2 ft. $1.50, 1 to 14% ft. $1.25; all others 2 to 24% ft. $1.50, 1% to 
2 ft. $1.25, 1 to 14 ft. $1.00. 
BERBERIS aggregata barbarossa, (5). Imported from Ireland. Originator’s description: “The 
heaviest fruiter of all; sells at sight. Extremely handsome when laden with its numerous fine 
(red) fruits.” Pot grown 1 to 114 ft XC 
CALLICARPA giraldiana, GIRALD BEAUTYBERRY, (5). From China. A large shrub to 
about ten ft. Like other Beautyberries its charm lies in the clusters of very handsome blue 
berries which have a brilliant metallic hue rarely found except in Callicarpa, Dianella and Bil- 
lardiera. They remain on the bush long after leaves have fallen. We have tested five or six 
Callicarpas and consider this the best. 2 to 3 ft. $1.00, 114 to 2 ft. 75c. 
CERATOSTIGMA oriffithi, BURMESE PLUMBAGO, (7). The deep blue flowers are about 
the same as in C. willmottianum but habit is entirely different as it grows wider than tall and 
makes an attractive plant. Comes from the mountains so will stand fairly severe freezing. Pot 
grown 10-12 in. 60c. 
CYTISUS purpureus pendulus, WEEPING PURPLE BROOM, (5). This charming plant 
should be far better known. Every slender branch is covered in spring for its entire length with 
bluish purple flowers, pea-shaped like other Brooms. We grow it in two entirely different forms 
for two distinct purposes. Grafted low it makes a good prostrate plant suitable for rock gardens, 
etc. When top-grafted on straight stems the branches arch at once, then grow directly down- 
ward making a most beautiful individual specimen. Standards on 3 ft. stems, gallon cans $1.75; - 
grafted low, pot grown 8-12 in. wide 60c. ; 
DAUBENTONIA tripetti, SCARLET WISTERIA TREE, (814). A very rapid growing shrub 
or small tree which bears profusely all summer. The flowers are orange-red, pea-shaped and 
borne in clusters. The whole plant is extremely showy over a long period. It must be grown in 
full sun and should be severly pruned every fall. This is how it impressed one garden lover: 
“I cannot resist telling you how lovely I think it is. I had only the vaguest idea what it would 
be like and never was a ‘pig in a poke’ so successful! I think its color is astonishing—so clear 
and pure and evidently the blooming period will be long. I shall be in despair if it proves too 
delicate for our winters—having once flowered it I could not bear to lose it.” Pot grown 3-4 ft. 
75c. 2-3 ft. 65c, 1-114 ft. 50c. 
*LAGERSTROEMIA indica var.. Wm. TOOVEY CREPE MYRTLE, (7). We have not yet 
flowered this variety but it came to us highly recommended as a fine watermelon red. Gallon 
cans 114-2 ft. 75c. 
MERATIA praecox grandiflora, IMPROVED WINTERSWEET, (7). This is a rare Me 
flowering form of the plant known as Calycanthus praecox or Chimonanthus fragrans so greatly 
esteemed for its very early, intensely fragrant yellow flowers. Here it usually starts to bloom in 
early December and continues into spring. 4-5 ft. $1.50, 3-4 ft. $1.25. 
PARROTIA persica, (5). This is a large shrub or small tree closely related to Witch Hazel. In 
England it is highly esteemed for its vivid crimson autumnai tints. Under favorable conditions 
its unique display of two-toned coloring in fall is very striking indeed. Gallon cans 2-3 ft. $1.25; 
pot grown 1-1)4 ft. 75c. 
PHILADELPHUS, MOCK ORANGE OR SYRINGA, (5). Well known old favorites bloom- 
ing in late spring. We limit ourselves to only a few kinds. 
ATLAS. One of Lemoine’s varieties recently imported from France. The pure white, 
usually four-petaled flowers are enormous, single and 214 inches wide. This was justly 
iven the Award of Merit of the Royal Horticultural Society. 3-4 ft. $2.00, 2-3 ft. 
1.50, 144-2 ft. $1.25. 
BELLE ETOILE. This is considered the best of the “Syringas’’ whose flowers have 
a purple ‘eye’ and is also the hardiest of that group. The large flowers are milk-white 
except for the colored center. Very fragrant and free blooming. We like it best of all. 
1144-2 ft. $1.00, 1-114 ft. 75c. 
*ENCHANTMENT. A very free blooming double white. Here it has the fatal fault 
that the flowers wither and stick to the bush, but it may behave better in that respect 
elsewhere. 4-5 ft. $2.25, 3-4 ft. $1.75, 2-3 ft. $1.25. 
VIRGINAL. Doubtless the finest double variety. Flowers large, snow white, borne 
most profusely in great masses from the time it is a foot tall. 3-4 ft. $1.25, 2-3 ft. $1.00, 
114-2 ft. 85c.
