The Plant Sensation 
of 1942 
NEW HARDY PINK 
CRAPE MYRTLE 
See color picture on front cover. 
The Southland’s beloved plant now 
hardy to northern Massachusetts. This 
lovely plant, heretofore considered hardy 
only to Philadelphia, is now available in 
a strain that survives our cold northern 
winters to leap from the ground in spring 
and present its breath-taking bloom to 
bless the home grounds. 
The parent plants were discovered in a 
high location near Cincinnati, Ohio, at 
which point, the previous winter, the tem- 
perature had reached 20 degrees below 
zero. These plants had grown to a height 
of more than 3 feet and a spread of 2 feet, 
and were in full mass bloom. Cole has 
propagated many fine well-grown plants 
from these originals and now for the first 
time, exclusively, offers them for spring 
planting. 
Cole’s New Hardy Crape Myrtle is con- 
tinually covered from July till frost, with 
buds bursting into glorious, fluffy, soft 
pink blooms having crinkled, crepe-like 
petals. The flowers, as they fade and fall, 
still remain attractive with their bright 
green receptacles capped by many golden 
stamens. The foliage is dense, leathery, 
glossy green on an upright and symmet- 
rical bush. Here is a truly unsurpassed 
spectacle in summer bloom. 
May be easily grown in any good gar- 
den soil and should be given a loose 
mulch over the winter. 
GUARANTEED BY REPLACEMENT OR 
REFUND 
$1.00 each; $2.50 for 3.
