MAGNOLIA 
Soulangeana Each $5.50, Three $16.50, Doz. $51.50 
Soulange’s Magnolia, sometimes called the Saucer i 
reason at all, is the rather rare Pink Magnolia of Hovey ila estaal 
parks. 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 Magnolia 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 ita 
sizeable specimen. A whole street in Rochester, lined with this variety 
is a mecca for all enthusiasts every spring. We offer f : ' 
with a lot of buds, about 3 to 5 feet fall, Soy SUVS such 
Stellata (Star Magnolia) Each $5.50, Three $16.50, Doz. $51.50 
The rarest of the hardy Magnolias. It grows to a small spreading 
tree; however, this requires years. Early in spring the plant is 
covered with a mass of fragrant pure white starlike flowers, which are 
3 inches across. The numerous long waxy white petals are held to- 
gether in a lovely starlike shape. A beautiful thing for a small 
fawn or any small garden. We offer fine plants about 2 feet tall 
with flower buds ready to bloom. 
MAHONIA 
aquifolium Each $1.25, Three $3.00, Doz. $9.50 
his is more popularly known as the Oregon Holly Grape. It has shiny, 
large, spiny, metallic looking leaves which turn a bronzy red in 
autumn. In spring the clusters of yellow flowers are very attractive. 
These flowers are followed by blue fruit in June and July. We consider 
it one of the most attractive evergreens of easy cultivation. Does 
perfectly in north exposure in plantings of evergreens. Ultimate height 
about 21 to 3 feet, depending on location where grown. 
FLOWERING PEACHES 
The general habit of all is much the same, the main difference being in 
color of flowers and time of blooming. They should be very severely pruned 
every year as soon as they have finished blooming and before growth starts. 
Cutting them for decoration accomplishes the same purpose and is highly 
beneficial but should be completed as soon as flowers are gone. All growth 
of the previous season should be cut back to about 8 inches. Don’t touch 
them in the fall as that is simply cutting off potential flowers. 
Double Pink Each $2.00, Three $5.00, Doz. $17.50 
Covered in early spring with lovely soft pink flowers which are excellent 
for cutting as well. A perfectly lovely small tree giving you a blaze of 
color in early spring. 
WEEPING PEACHES 
Like other weeping trees of this nature, these are top-grafted on erect 
stems at about 4 or 5 feet. The branches droop decidedly, giving them a 
very artistic appearance. 
Double Red Weeping Each $2.25, Three $5.50, Doz. $18.00 
Color is very rich and entirely distinct from the erect reds. 
Double White Weeping Each $2.25, Three $5.50, Doz. $18.00 
Flowers are exactly like those of the tea-plant, but larger and moderately 
double, showing the yellow stamens. The long sprays of handsome flow- 
ers give a delightful effect.

experts claim this to be the finest species from that immense country. 
Its 5- to 8-foot, slender branches are covered from end to end with

June-flowering shrubs. It has fine, compact habit of growth and per- 
fectly suited for the shrub border.

The Snowstorm Mock Orange. Few shrubs produce as many flowers as 
does this Mock Orange. In early June it is a veritable hill of snow.

bold foliage. Altogether a very worth-while, rare plant you will be proud 
to point out to your friends. Ultimate height 6 to 8 feet.
