EUONYMUS 
Alatus compactus (Dwarf Flame Euonymus) 
Each $1.75, Three $4.75, Doz. $15.00 
In the Arnold Arboretum in Boston t.is shrub causes much comment 
each autumn for its unbelievable brilliance of foliage. Its compact 
growth, easy culture, and slow growth make it one of the outstanding 
shrubs for hedges as well as individual specimens in the garden. Its 
ultimate height is six feet. Be sure to plant one or more of them in your 
garden for a brilliant autumn foliage display. Does well in shade. 
EUONYMUS EUROPAEUS 
Intermedia (Macrophylla) Each $2.50, Three $7.25, Doz. $23.50 
Also known as Fructo-coccineo. This upright growing small shrub (6 to 7 
feet high) should be among the first twelve fruiting ornamentals. The 
rigid branches are a perfect sight when carrying the extra large rose- 
red fruits which age to a brilliant red and are retained long after the 
leaves have dropped. Cut sprays placed in water will last six weeks or 
more. The tree is easily grown anywhere and free from ‘bugs’ and 
troubles. Excellent for the small garden. 
Fructo-albo Each $3.25, Three $9.50, Doz. $30.09 
This is the rare white fruiting form of the above. It has the same de- 
pcre characteristics with the additional charm of producing the white 
erries. 
FUCHSIA 
Most tender shrubs used for bedding or cool greenhouse decoration in 
the temperate zone. They are charming subjects for the shady garden, 
available in many colors and forms. 
Culture. Ordinary good loam, well drained. They do not like heavy, 
wet clay soils. Do well in shady places where it is difficult to flower other 
plants. Magellanica is a hardy variety, wintering over outdoors if the plants 
are protected with straw during the winter. 
Magellanica Three $1.10, Doz. $3.30, 100 $20.00 
This most interesting shrub came to us from the New York Botanical 
Garden, where it has proven entirely hardy. It is in bloom all summer 
long until stopped by frost. The ruby-red pendent flowers are pro- 
duced by the hundreds, flowering just as freely in full sun as in light 
shade. A most interesting plant for the flower border or rock garden, 
where it fits in perfectly, blooming all summer. Like all Fuchsias, they 
are especially adapted for shady locations. We advise protection any- 
where north of Philadelphia. 
Magellanica alba Three $1.50, Doz. $4.50, 100 $30.00 
Has the same habit of growth as Magellanica but the pendent flowers 
are blush-white. A charming variety which also is somewhat hardier. 
Riccartoni Three $1.50, Doz. $4.50, 100 $30.00 
Lovely pendent crimson-red and purple flowers. A hybrid of unknown 
origin. It is used as a boundary hedge in many places in the south 
and west of England and Ireland where moisture, fog, and a mild cool 
climate bring it to perfection. Here in Ohio it requires shade, the same 
es page Nanica and freezes down to ground level as does the Butterfly 
ush. 
HALESIA 
Tetraptera Each $1.30, Three $3.65, Doz. $11.25 
The Silver Bell or Snowdrop Tree, also sometimes called the Lily-of-the- 
Valley Tree, is a most attractive round-headed, bushy little tree with 
horizontal branches and rather ordinary foliage. Its beauty consists in 
the millions of small white bells which dangle in bewildering profusion 
from the lower side of the branchlets. Certainly no flowering tree is 
handsomer and daintier than the Silver Bell when in full bloom, and it is 
always an object of great interest and curiosity. 
Kolkwitzia Amabilis 
BEE 



FORSYTHIA 
The name ‘Golden Bell’’ has been attached to this family of hand- 
some shrubs, but nobody uses it, and in consequence, the name of William 
Forsyth, one of the greatest gardeners in history, is perpetuated in common 
speech through the Forsythias, which have become one of the most popular 
groups of srubs grown in gardens. They should be given a place were they 
can grow untrommeled by restricted space and without pruning. There is 
nothing so miserable to look at as a Forsythia which has been clipped into 
some formal shape, or a line of them compelled to serve as a hedge; and 
there is nothing more beautiful and more expressive of springtime than the 
early grace of a Forsythia allowed to develop naturally according to its 
own sweet will. 
Each $1.10, Three $3.15, Doz. $9.75 
Intermedia primulina 
This splendid shrub makes annual growths 3 to 7 feet high and they 
are especially attractive during March and April with their dense, 
large, lemon-yellow flowers with revolute lobes. 
Ovata Each $1.10, Three $3.15, Doz. $9.75 
(Korea.) The best form is compact growing, seldom more than 4 
feet high and it is probably the prettiest of the family. The branches 
bear charming campanulate bright yellow, scented flowers during Feb- 
ruary and March, even in severe weather. 
HYDRANGEA 
Paniculata grandiflora Each $0.65, Three $1.70, Doz. $5.50 
This variety is very well known, being in almost every garden. Its 
large conical heads, 12 to 18 inches long, become pink and red as the 
flower ages. If you want very large flowers, be sure to prune very 
severely each spring, also give it plenty of water during the summer. 
Quercifolia Each $1.25, Three $3.40, Doz. $10.50 
The Oakleaf Hydrangea is a rather uncommon bush. It has big, artistic 
leaves, indented, and somewhat ruffled, resembling in a magnified 
way the foliage of some gigantic oak. The flowers are not a great 
deal unlike those of Hydrangea paniculata, and are borne in enormous, 
conical heads which are very majestic and showy. Particularly valuable 
for the brilliant autumn coloring. Does well in shade. 
Opuloides, Blue Bird Each $1.50, Three $4.00, Doz. $15.00 
On Cape Cod, Massachusetts, in a smali, well kept garden surrounding 
a fine old home which once belonged to a clipper ship captain, one of 
us observed a magnificent specimen of the blue Hydrangea opuloides. 
The coloring is a deep and intense blue never observed in the tender 
Hortensis varieties, now extensively in use by florists and commonly seen 
in gardens. Upon request the owner permitted us to take some cut- 
tings of this beautiful plant which he told us his father had brought 
from China. We have multiplied these cuttings and can .now offer 
a fine lot of flowering plants. We recommend slight protection in the 
colder section of the country. Grow in sun or light shade. Allow two 
feet square for each plant. Do not ure lime, it seriously affects the 
coloring, in fact on alkaline soils we advise mixing one pound aluminum 
sulphate to ten square feet, making 3 or 4 applications as needed with 
the soil in order to bring out the marvelous blue color to best advantage. 
Here is a beautiful flowering shrub you will enjoy possessing. 
HYPERICUM - St. John’s Wort 
Attractive and charming low growing, summer-flowering shrubs. 
Their brilliant flowers are beautifully formed and grow on slender branches 
from early summer until stopped by frost. Excellent subjects for the flower 
border or in the foreground of taller shrubs, as well as for ground covering. 
Calycinum Each $0.60, Three $1.50, Doz. $5.00, 100 $30.00 
This is a most valuable variety because it can also be used as a 
ground cover for both sunny and semi-shady places. The under- 
ground runners are produced so freely as to completely cover the 
ground; at the tops the golden yellow flowers shine like jewels. Its 
height is about 12 to 18 inches. We recommend this as one of the 
best and hardiest. 
Henryi Each $0.60, Three $1.50, Doz. $5.00 
A dwarf, spreading shrub with large, showy, golden yellow flowers. In 
very cold winters the tops freeze back, which is of no consequence as 
the new growth is rapid and flowers even more freely. Ultimate height 
3 feet. 
Moserianum _ Each $0.60, Three $1.50, Doz. $5.00 
A most desirable border shrub about 20 inches high, of free and 
graceful habit, producing long, slender stems, drooping, apparently from 
the weight of the flowers and buds, although the flowers face so none 
of their beauty is lost. Color a rich golden yellow, and bloom con- 
tinuously the entire season.
