Althea Rubis 
Calluna Vulgaris (See page 172) 
ARON IA ARBUTIFOLIA 
Brilliantissima Each $0.60, Three $1.75, Doz. $5.25 
Brilliant “Red Chokecherry” is a bushy shrub occasionally exceeding 6 
feet in height. Flowers white or flushed pink, produced in corymbs dur- 
ing May, followed_in autumn by clusters of scarlet berries which persist 
into the winter. Foliage assumes brilliant crimson colorings in autumn. 
BETULA 
Pendula Youngi Each $5.00 
The silvery white bark covered stem grows upright, but branches droop. 
The effect created is'that of a living fountain, broad at the base, pointed 
at the top. In winter as well, this magnificent, small, symmetrical, weep- 
Ing tree creates a superb effect. This rare, new and improved Weeping 
Birch we predict will be planted by everyone who sees it. Do not con- 
fuse the Young’s Weeping Birch with what is now generally in use. The 
commonly known Weeping Birch has only secondary weeping branches, 
or rather it is the tips only of the branches that weep or hang down- 
ors, while in the new Young's Weeping Birch the entire branch or 
ume grows downward. The effect is superb. Ultimate height 25 to 30 
cet. Excellent in small as well as large gardens. All Birches are diffi- 
cult to transplant. Therefore, we offer this lovely tree only in a medium ; 
size which, with careful handling and watering after planting, will surely 
succeed. However, they are sold at the purchaser's risk. zz
