CISTENA PURPLE LEAF SHRUB—For Beauty of Color 
Shrubs with colored foliage are 
needed for contrast and variety on 
the lawn. Cistena, with its purple 
leaves is especially striking and be- 
cause it is also very hardy it has 
gained sudden popularity since Prof. 
N. E. Hansen introduced it. 
The leaf color is a reddish purple, 
or wine color, and the branches are 
reddish brown. Among other tall 
growing shrubs it strikes a delight- 
fully gay note. Cistena Adds Color and Beauty to the Lawn 
Attractive All Year 
When not trimmed, Cistena makes a low, bushy, round topped growth. The illustration 
shows how well Cistena may be used in a foundation planting around the house. Its 
beautifully colored foliage adds much color to the other plantings and brightens up the 
lawn in summer. In winter the reddish colored bark enriches the landscape.

PRUNUS TRILOBA 
DOUBLE FLOWERING PLUM 
This beautiful ornamental is worthy of a place in every- 
one’s yard. A most unique tree, as the very youngest 
of them will put out the loveliest pink rose-like flowers 
you ever saw, even before it has begun to leaf out. It 
does look like a rose tree, and many people have given 
it the name of “Rose Tree of China.” It is hardy every- 
where and popular with those who have seen it. 
Prunus Triloba is a small tree when grown, and might 
be called a shrub. The foliage, coming after flowers, is 
decidedly attractive and this plant will work in splendidly 
with most foundation and group plantings.
