DWARF FLOWERING POMEGRANATE

l-inch fruits in winter, Hardy. Sun. Gal. containers, 35c.

BRILLIANT WINTER BERRIES 
stirring brilliant winter color you can’t beat the 
pyracanthas. One variety, Lalandii, begins to show color as 
early as August. The other varieties are only a month or so 
behind but make up for their tardiness by continuing their 
display until late spring. Clouds of frosty bloom appear soon 
after the last berries have fallen. For informal hedges and 
barriers or when used against buildings or in the open 
ground they are always attractive. They'll supply you more 
berries for Christmas than you'll know what to do with. At 
least a haif day’s sun. Will not freeze. 
For 
Pyracantha formosana Rosedale. The finest of all pyra- 
canthas-—and don’t let anyone tell you otherwise. Huge clus-

this variety for 4 or 5 years and have never known it to be 
attacked by the blight that sometimes attacks other pyra- 
canthas. 6-8 ft. 5-gal. containers, $1.70; gal. containers, 40c.
