AND BEAUTIFUL ITEMS 
Althea - Rose of Sharon whee 
Tall, beautiful flowering shrubs, distinctive because of their 
blooms. Double flowers resemble Roses with tightly curved 
petals. Color shades stand out vividly in group plantings or 
as specimens. Very worth-while plant to buy, as they are easily 
grown, unusually hardy and bloom long and lavishly. 
Note: The Altheas are very late in leafing out in the spring. 
Do not be alarmed if they stand dormant up into June. 
We offer 5 distinct and beautiful colors: Vivid Red, Pink, 
White, Blue and Variegated. Your choice at 35c each or 5 for 
$1.50, postpaid. 
Smoke Tree or Purple Fringe 
One of the most picturesque and unusual of the small 
hardy trees. Beautiful foliage of dense green is surmounted 
in summer with masses of loose, feathery panicles of minute 
flowers which give the effect of a dense cloud of smoke. 
Thrives anywhere but prefers a dry, sunny location. Foliage 
colors brilliantly in agutumn. Grows to a height of 12 feet. 
Be sure to get this unique tree, at only—2 to 3 ft., 60¢ each; 
3 for $1.50, postpaid. 

Redbud or Cercis 
One of the handsomest of the low-growing, 
flat-topped trees. Attains a height of about 
15 feet at maturity. Along the numerous wide- 
spreading branches, rosy lavender blooms ap- 
pear before the tree leafs out in spring. Flow- 
ers are so thick the tree appears as a small 
pink cloud. Due to the extreme hardness of 
the wood, the tree is usually very late in leaf- 
ing out. Nice, 3- to 4-ft. plants, only 75c¢ 
each; 3 for $2.00, by Express.
