SPIREA, RED 
Althea, Rose of Sharon—A rather tall growing, 
widely planted shrub which is fine for group and 
specimen planting, also for screens. Blooms 
freely, July till frost. Your choice of the following 
colors: Purple, Red, Pink, White with red eye. 
Althea, Coelestis—A magnificent shrub growing 
5 to 6 feet tall with lovely blue flowers, July to 
frost. 
Althea, Snowdrift—Large white flowers from 
midsummer to frost. Makes a handsome bush 
5 feet tall. One of the best white flowering shrubs. 
Barberry, Japanese (Thunberg’s)—Probably 
the most widely planted low growing shrub. Ideal 
for border and foundation planting. Makes a 
low, dense, rounded bush 3 feet tall. Grows in 
sun or partial shade. The foliage colors a beauti- 
ful red in the fall, with red berries which hang all 
winter. It is rust-free, easy to grow. 
Red-Leaf Barberry—We have reduced the price 
of this brightly-colored shrub so now it costs no 
more than any of the shrubs on these 2 pages. 
Its bronzy-red foliage adds a touch of color among 
the greens of the other shrubs. In the fall, the 
leaves become even richer in color, a bright orange 
scarlet, followed by the red berries which hang 
on for many weeks. Plant in the full sunlight to 
develop its best color. Makes a dense, compact 
bush 3 feet tall and just as wide. A hedge of this 
is certainly a brilliant sight. 
Butterfly Bush, Farquhar—This new variety is 
much better than the common Butterfly Bush. It 
grows more gracefully and not so tall. Also, the 
blooms are produced more freely and have a richer 
color, a lovely lilac-purple, produced freely from 
July to frost. It grows 3 feet tall. 
Deutzia, Lemoine—Showy white flowers in late 
spring and early summer. Grows in sun or semi- 
shade and makes a rounded compact bush 4 feet 
tall, with slender graceful branches. 
Deutzia, Pride of Rochester—A splendid shrub 
which grows 6 to 8 feet tall in sun or partial shade. 
In May and Juneit is a lovely sight with its flowers 
of white tinged pink. 
Dogwood, Red Barked—Creamy white flowers in 
spring followed by clusters of blue, berries. In 
winter, its bright red bark makes a pleasing spot 
of color among the other shrubs. Grows 8 feet 
tall. Grows in sun or semi-shade. 
Elder, Goldem—This makes a large bush 8 feet 
tall, so plant it in the background where the 
golden color of its yellow leaves contrast richly 
with the green foliage of the other shrubs. De- 
velops its best color when planted in full sunlight. 
Grows everywhere. 
Honeysuckle, Fragrantissima—An unusually 
attractive shrub with its rich, lustrous green 
foliage. It has fragrant white flowers in the early 
spring and again in the fall. In mild winters it is 
almost evergreen. Makes a bush 5 feet tall with 
graceful, semi-drooping branches.

Honeysuckle, Tartarian—One of the best tall 


shrubs, growing 8 to 10 feet high. Especially fine ; 
for backgrounds and screening unsightly views. 
Grows in sun or partial shade. Covered in May-— 
June with charming pink flowers followed by ; 
clusters of red and orange berries. 
Lilac, Chimese—A fine shrub for backgroeme 
growing 10 to 12 feet tall. This is, we believe, the 
best tall growing lilac. Its foliage is exceptionally 
attractive and the reddish-purple flowers are pro- 
duced so freely in May and June. 3 
Quince, Japan Scarlet—This is the old-fashioned _ 
Fire Bush. In early spring just as the leaves are 
opening it is a gorgeous sight with its scarlet 
blossoms. The foliage is dark green and glossy as 
though varnished. It grows 6 feet tall and fills a 
place no other shrub can. 
Snowberry, Chenaulti—A magnificent new 
shrub that unquestionably will become one of 
America’s greatest. It has everything that a good 
shrub should have; graceful shape, fine foliage, 
lovely flowers, attractive berries, perfectly hardy ae 
and grows everywhere. The foliage is a rich shade 
of green and the branches arch gracefully. In 
June it is full of pink flowers followed by a mul- — a 
titude of red and white berries. Grows 3 to 4 
feet tall and makes a dense bush. Plant it andif _ 
you are not enthusiastic about it, we will give you 
another shrub free. Makes a wonderful hedge or 
border, 3 to 4 feet tall that never needs trimming. —
