ARISTOCRATS OF THE GARDEN 
We take pleasure in offering a list of some of the newer, finer varieties of trees, shrubs and plants for 
your garden. In the average garden, space is limited, consequently it is more important to select the better 
things. To bring some of these things to your attention we present this page—‘‘Aristocrats of the Garden.” 
VIBURNUM BURKWOODI 
This is among the most valuable novelties in flowering 
shrubs that have appeared in recent years. It was originated in 
England (where it took all possible awards) as thé outcome of 
a cross between the well-known deciduous Viburnum carlesi 
and the little-known evergreen V. utile. The result is a fast 
growing, very hardy, semi-evergreen shrub bearing flowers as 
fragrant as those of V. carlesi but in far larger heads up to 
four inches broad and containing as many as 250 individual 
flowers. These are p nkish in the bud but open white and here 
appear about a month sooner than V. carlesi. Foliage is rich 
glossy green; some of it turns purplish bronze with winter 
weather. We believe that this is sure to become one of Amer- 
ica’s most popular shrubs. Each $2.00, not prepaid. 
GINKGO BILOBA (Maidenhair Tree) 
The common name is very apt as the leaves are shaped like 
those of Maidenhair Fern, In spite of appearances it is really 
of coniferous type. One of its great charms is the pure gold of 
its leaves in Autumn. It has been said that it drops all its 
leaves in a single night, but that is only poetic exaggeration. 
Still it doesn’t take many nights so for several days it stands 
on a golden carpet. It is also claimed that it is no longer grow- 
ing wild anywhere in the world but has been preserved from 
antiquity around temple grounds in the Orient and has been 
distributed as an exotic all over the temperate regions of the 
world. Makes a large tree eventually so.should be given plenty 
of room to develop. Each 5-6 ft., $2.50, not prepaid. 
LABURNUM VOSSI (Goldenchain) 
A small tree with green bark and foliage like exaggerated 
clover leaves. Flowers are pure golden yellow and formed 
exactly like those of Japanese Wisteria. The hanging clusters 
attain as much as 18 to 20 inches in length and are borne 
very profusely in late spring. Very beautiful and even the 
smallest size will usually bloom the first year. Well worth a 
place in any garden. Each, 6 to 8 ft., $2.50, not prepaid. 
TUBEROUS BEGONIAS 
Here is a plant that requires the very situation which 
normally causes the most difficulty, namely, shade. The 
Camellia type which we carry have lovely double flowers, in 
a fine variety of colors including red, pink, orange, and apricot 
shades. Like all Begonias they are in bloom constantly 
throughout the summer. There are two requirements for suc- 
cess. They must be planted in the shade and, secondly, they 
must have an ample application of manure stirred through soil 
plus a mulch of manure or peat moss on top. Another nice 
feature of this plant is that the bulb may be saved over winter 
and used again. Available in mixture only. 3-inch pots, each 
30c; doz. $3.00, prepaid. 
CORNUS FLORIDA RUBRA 
(Pink Flowering Dogwood) 
There are no trees or shrubs which possess a larger 
measure of attractiveness throughout the whole year. The 
rare pink Dogwood is similar in all respects to the common 
variety except that the flowers are a beautiful shade of pink. 
A good specimen in full bloom is a magnificent sight in spring. 
Does well in shade. Each, 3 ft., not prepaid, $3.50. 
PYRACANTHA LALANDI (Firethorn) 
A most remarkable fruiting evergreen shrub. Bears at- 
tractive 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. 4 in pots, 
each, prepaid, 75c.

LOCUST—Idahoensis Lavender ‘ 
A very beautiful addition to the flowering Locust varie- 
ties. Flowers are pretty shade of lavender, borne in clusters 
in great profusion. The tree is top-grafted onto common 
Locust at about 4 ft. It is fast growing and hardy. Like all 
Locusts it is easy to grow. Each, not prepaid, 8 to 10 ft., $2.50. 
DAPHNE CNEORUM (Rock Daphne) 
A gem for the rock garden or for edging borders. A dwarf 
evergreen shrub of trailing habit with leaves of dark glossy 
green, glaucous beneath. Small, tubular, rose-pink flowers 
of spicy fragrance are borne in clusters in May and again in 
late September. Trimming in early summer will keep it com- 
pact and luxurious, and encourage even more profuse flower- 
ing. Every garden should have one or more of these gems. 
Each, not prepaid, $1.00. 
MAGNOLIA SOULANGEANA 
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 Mag- 
nolia 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 it a sizeable specimen. The 
size of the individual flowers and the profusion with which 
the plant blooms makes it one of the most valued plants in 
cultivation. Each, not prepaid, $6.00. 
AZALEA MOLLIS 
A close blood relation of the Rhododendron, Azaleas are so 
lovely they are fascinating to behold. The Mollis variety is 
probably the easiest to grow in our section and when planted 
in a partial shady location, and with plenty of peat moss or 
leaf mold worked into the soil, they perform beautifully. 
Colors vary slightly from yellow to orange, but each shade is 
brilliant. Foliage is good although somewhat sparse and 
like all deciduous shrubs drop their leaves in the fall. 
Each, 12 to 15 inches, not prepaid, $1.25. 
ROSE (Austrian Copper) 
This variety is one that should be used more freely in the 
shrub border, It is large growing, perfectly hardy and easy to 
grow. It blooms with one magnificent crop of single flowers 
in June. The color is unique and distinctive, being a rich, 
light copper. Do not plant this variety with your everblooming 
types because’it grows large and will crowd them. If you 
want a shrub that is different yet brilliant with a minimum 
of care, order Austrian Copper. Each, 50e, prepaid. 
VIOLA EILEEN 
For a number of years the Jersey Gem Viola has domi- 
nated the Viola varieties principally because of its rich blue 
color and continuity of bloom. Now we have a glorified Jersey 
Gem, the same lovely color, the same wealth of flowers, but 
adding greatly increased size. There are any number of flow- 
ers measuring more than two inches in diameter. Viola Hileen 
will thrill you. In pots, each 25c; doz. $2.50, prepaid. 
ROSA ROULETTI 
Here is a lovely, little rockery or border plant. Growing 
only a few inches high, it is a garden rose in miniature, Tiny 
flowers are produced in profusion, and are a delicate pink in 
color. The leaves resemble the large type but again in minia- 
ture. The plant does not require any special care or location, 
making it a valuable addition to rose family. In pots, each 35¢; 
3 for 85e, prepaid.
