PRUNUS - Almond; Plum 
Among the Flowering Prunes are several handsome shrubs called vari- 
ously: Flowering Plums, Flowering Cherries or Flowering Almonds. They are 
so well known that they do not need any introduction. They are very hardy. 
Glandulosa alba Each $0.90, Three $2.50, Doz. $7.75 
(Flowering Almond.) The small, very double, white rosettes grow in 
great quantities along the stem in late April and early May. Lovely 
when in bloom. Ultimate height about 4 to 5 feet. 
Glandulosa rosea Each $0.90, Three $2.50, Doz. $7.75 
Produces very double, rose-colored flowers in great profusion in spring. 
One of the most charming old-fashioned early flowering shrubs, and 
is still unsurpassed in beauty in its season. Our plants are grown on 
their own roots, thus insuring extra vigor and more lasting satisfaction 
as well as no “wild suckers.” 
Triloba Each $1.15, Three $3.25, Doz. $10.50 
(Flowering Plum.) The flowering Plum blooms early in May before the 
leaves come out. The delightful double, quilled, bright pink flowers 
stud every twig and branchlet so heavily no wood is visible. Very 
handsome and should not be left out of any garden. Here again we 
offer plants growing on their own roots because they are so much more 
satisfactory. Ultimate height about 8 feet. 
PYRACANTHA (Crataegus) - Firethorn 
Coccinea Lalandi Each $1.00, Three $2.75, Doz. $8.75 
A most remarkable fruiting evergreen shrub. Bears attractive large 
trusses of white flowers during the late spring followed by an abundance 
of brilliant orange-scarlet berries which remain late into the winter. 
A marvelous plant for foundation planting where soil is dry. The long 
shoots it makes can be used as a vine over a doorway or along a window 
casing. The plants can be trimmed to fit any position. It is difficult to 
transplant old or large plants. We therefore send only young stock 
which establishes quickly. It prefers a sandy soil and warm location. 
RIBES 
Fasciculatum Each $0.75, Three $2.00, Doz. $6.50 
A slender-branching shrub 3 to 6 feet high with 5-lobed leaves which 
become magnificently colored before falling. It bears clusters of 
yellow, fragrant flowers during April, and red currants in autumn. Its 
chief value is its ability to thrive in densest shade. 
ROBINIA - Rose-Acacia 
Hispida, Monument (Pyramidal Rose-Acacia) 
Each $4.50, Three $13.00, Doz. $43.25 
The habit of growth of this Rose-Acacia is not unlike that of the Lom- 
bardy Poplar. And because of this unusual habit we have a small flow- 
ering tree that can be grown in every garden, big or little. It may be 
used as a small lawn specimen or in the shrub border where it will not 
crowd or harm plants near by. During late May and June it is covered

Salix Babylonica Annularis Crispa—Ringleaf Willow 
SALIX - Willow 
Babylonica Annularis Crispa (Ringleaf Willow) 
4-5 ft. plants, Each $2.00, Three $5.75, Doz. $18.75 
The leaves of this most attractive Weeping Willow are curled into a 
corkscrew-like ringlet. The effect is extreme gracefulness, making the 
pendulent branches very desirable for cutting and use with other flowers. 
Ultimate height is about 20 feet. A specimen of this fine hardy willow, 
Be poder how small, is a choice possession. Does well in moist or dry 
soil. 
French Pussy Willow Each $0.70, Three $1.90, Doz. $6.25 
Not the wild Pussy Willow but a fine cultivated French variety. 
Branches of this variety have been selling at retail during the winter 
months in cities at from $1.00 to $2.00 per dozen. You can grow them 
on your own lawn! Enjoy these dainty silvery flowers every winter. A 
beautiful round shrub in summer or use them for tall screens or back- 
grounds. Cut the ends of the branches in January or February. Place 
them indoors in a vase of water. Watch them unfold their large catkins 
of silver-pink, from 1 to 2 inches long. They will repay you many times 
their cost in pleasure. Ultimate height 10 feet. 
Purpurea Nana (See page 165) 
SORBUS - Mountain Ash 
Fifiana (French Mountain Ash) Each $3.75, Three $11.00, Doz. $36.00 
This prolificly fruiting variety resembles the well-known Mountain Ash 
very closely. It does not grow quite as tall, only 20 to 25 feet, but pro- 
duces twice the amount of flowers and fruit. The branches literally bend 
under the brilliant loads of orange fruits. This small tree can be grown 
in every small garden without damaging nearby flowers. Transplants 
readily. We offer nice young trees about 6 feet tall. 
SPIRAEA 
A very important family of shrubs. Most Spiraeas are sun-loving, but 
withstand much abuse in location and soil conditions, and are a source of 
joy and satisfaction. 
Bumalda, Crispa (New) Each $0.75, Three $2.00, Doz. $6.50 
The crested foliage is most interesting and makes this a much more 
attractive and desirable variety than the common Anthony Waterer 
it otherwise resembles. Flowers a deep crimson. Blooming all summer. 
Japonica Coccinea Each $0.75, Three $2.00 Doz. $6.50 
Similar in growth and habit to Anthony Waterer but of much cleaner 
and richer coloring. The fading and the turning to magenta which is 
so objectionable in the Anthony Waterer variety is practically removed 
from this fine new kind. Ultimate height is about 3 feet.
