ARISTOCRATS OF THE GARDEN 
We take pleasure in offering a list of some of the newer, finer varieties of trees, shrubs and plants for 
your garden. In the average garden, space is limited, consequently it is more important to select the better 
things. To bring some of these things to your attention we present this page—‘Aristocrats of the Garden.” 
VIBURNUM BURKWOODI 
This is among the most valuable novelties in flowering 
shrubs that have appeared in recent years. It was originated in 
England (where it took all possible awards) as the outcome of 
a cross between the well-known deciduous Viburnum carlesi 
and the little-known evergreen V. utile. The result is a fast 
growing, very hardy, semi-evergreen shrub bearing flowers as 
fragrant as those of V. carlesi but in far larger heads up to 
four inches broad and containing as many as 250 individual 
flowers. These are pinkish in the bud but open white and here 
appear about a month sooner than V. carlesi. Foliage is rich 
glossy green; some of it turns purplish bronze with winter 
weather. We believe that this is sure to become one of Amer- 
ica’s most popular shrubs. Each $2.00, not prepaid. 
GINKGO BILOBA (Maidenhair Tree) 
The common name is very apt as the leaves are shaped like 
those of Maidenhair Fern, In spite of appearances it is really 
of coniferous type. One of its great charms is the pure gold of 
its leaves in Autumn. It has been said that it drops all its 
leaves in a single night, but that is only poetic exaggeration. 
Still it doesn’t take many nights so for several days it stands 
on a golden carpet. It is also claimed that it is no longer grow- 
ing wild anywhere in the world but has been preserved from 
antiquity around temple grounds in the Orient and has been 
distributed as an exotic all over the temperate regions of the 
world. Makes a large tree eventually so should be given plenty 
of room to develop. Each 5-6 ft., $2.50, not prepaid. 
LABURNUM VOSSI (Goldenchain) 
A small tree with green bark and foliage like exaggerated 
clover leaves. Flowers are pure golden yellow and formed 
exactly like those of Japanese Wisteria. The hanging clusters 
attain as much as 18 to 20 inches in length and are borne 
very profusely in late spring. Very beautiful and even the 
smallest size will usually bloom the first year. Well worth a 
place in any garden. Hach, 6 to 8 ft., $2.50, not prepaid. 
BUDDLEIA, CHARMING 
A new shrub bearing throughout the late summer and 
autumn elegant long sprays covered with lovely lavender-pink 
blooms which, compared with other Buddleias introduced up 
to date, are distinctly pink. It received a Silver Medal from 
the Pennsylvania Horticultural Society For September and 
October flowers we suggest pinching off the first flower 
spikes which develop in July to aid in the development of side 
branches which will bring a greater abundance of flowers 
during the autumn months. Like other Buddleias, this new 
variety attracts a great many colorful butterflies—a feature 
which accounts for the popular name of this showy, hardy 
shrub. Charming gives a wonderful effect in the garden and 
has exceptional value for house decoration Each, prepaid, 75c. 
CORNUS FLORIDA RUBRA 
(Pink Flowering Dogwood) 
There are no trees or shrubs which possess a larger 
measure of attractiveness throughout the whole year. The 
rare pink Dogwood is similar in all respects to the common 
variety except that the flowers are a beautiful shade of pink. 
A good specimen in full bloom is a magnificent sight in spring. 
Does well in shade. Each, 3 to 4 ft., not prepaid, $5.00. 
PYRACANTHA LALANDI (Firethorn) 
A most remarkable fruiting evergreen shrub. Bears at- 
tractive large trusses of white flowers during the late spring 
followed by an abundance of brilliant orange-scarlet berries 
which remain late into the winter. A marvelous plant for 
foundation planting where soil is dry. The long shoots it 
makes can be used as a vine over a doorway or along a 
window casing. The plants can be trimmed to fit any position. 
It is difficult to transplant old or large plants. We therefore 
send only young stock which establishes quickly. 4 in pots, 
each, prepaid, 75ce.

LOCUST—Idahoensis Lavender 
A very beautiful addition to the flowering Locust varie- 
ties. Flowers are pretty shade of lavender, borne in clusters 
in great profusion. The tree is top-grafted onto common 
Locust at about 4 ft. It is fast growing and hardy. Like all 
Locusts it is easy to grow. Each, not prepaid, 8 to 10 ft., $2.50. 
DAPHNE CNEORUM (Rock Daphne) 
A gem for the rock garden or for edging borders. A dwarf 
evergreen shrub of trailing habit with leaves of dark glossy 
green, glaucous beneath. Small, tubular, rose-pink flowers 
of spicy fragrance are borne in clusters in May and again in 
late September. Trimming in early summer will keep it com- 
pact and luxurious, and encourage even more profuse flower- 
ing. Every garden should have one or more of these gems. 
Each, not prepaid, $1.00. 
MAGNOLIA SOULANGEANA 
It makes a small tree with gorgeous shining foliage and 
in early spring produces its enormous, pinkish white flowers, 
more or less purplish outside and slightly fragrant. This Mag- 
nolia is the showiest of the family for planting in northern 
gardens, and when in bloom, even one plant will dominate the 
garden—yes, the neighborhood, if it a sizeable specimen. The 
size of the individual flowers and the profusion with which 
the plant blooms makes it one of the most valued plants in 
cultivation. Each, not prepaid, $6.00. 
AZALEA MOLLIS 
A close blood relation of the Rhododendron, Azaleas are so 
lovely they are fascinating to behold. The Mollis variety is 
probably the easiest to grow in our section and when planted 
in a partial shady location, and with plenty of peat moss or 
leaf mold worked into the soil, they perform beautifully. 
Colors vary slightly from yellow to orange, but each shade is 
brilliant. Foliage is good although somewhat sparse and 
like all deciduous shrubs drop their leaves in the fall. 
Each, 12 to 15 inches, not prepaid, $1.25. 
NIEREMBERGIA HIPPOMANICA 
A compact low growing annual introduced recently and 
meeting with grand success. It stands dry hot summers, is 
not too particular about soil or location. Grows approximately 
6 inches high, and spreads out compactly, making it desirable 
for border or rockery. Foliage is light, greyish-green and 
virtually the entire summer the plant is covered with cupped 
flowers of a delicate lavender hue about 1 to 1% inches 
across. In pots, prepaid, 2 for 25e; doz. $1.25. 
TEUCRIUM CHAMAEDRYS 
Here is a splendid evergreen perennial. It can be clipped 
to keep a compact or box form, or if left alone, it will spread 
out over the ground. Leaves are shining dark green and dur- 
ing blooming period, which is July to September, it sends 
up spikes of rose flowers. We prefer to shear it severely each 
year. Prepaid, each 50c doz. $5.00. 
RUSSELL LUPINS 
Extraordinary colors; many new shades, never before seen 
in Lupins, self blues, pinks, reds, yellows, maroon, purples, 
ete. Bicolors such as violet and white, blue and yellows, red 
and bronze, red and white, purple and cream, blue and white, 
yellow and orange, pink and white, ete., the standard one 
color, the keel another. Individual flowers above average size, 
upright standards of some being an inch across The flower 
spike resembles a closely set, well rounded column of Sweet 
Peas All flowers on spike open at one time from top to bot- 
tom. Spike 3 to 5 feet tall. Russell Lupins demand an open 
soil so we advise generous application of peat moss plus some 
sand, if your soil is heavy. We have produced marvelous 
results in blooms by the addition of the above ingredients. ~ 
Each 25c; doz. $2.50, prepaid.
