Spread roots out naturally and work in the best top soil about the roots, tramping 
Water well before hole is filled with soil. Lastly fill the hole level, but do not mound

leave loose to prevent baking and cracking. 
BARBERRY, JAPANESE. Very small shiny green leaves in 
Summer which turn a brilliant red in early Autumn. This 
variety is entirely hardy and does not carry wheat rust. De- 
cidedly low growing, seldom reaching four feet. Red berries 
are carried well into the Winter. Birds are very fond of this 
shrub.

spikes that make good cut flowers are produced in pro- 
fusion from July onward. Late in the season we supply 
potted plants, which grow to full size the first season.

or can be used as a wind break. Locust like leaves and pea 
shaped yellow flowers in June. Ultimate height ten feet.

ries.

ing red in the Fall. The masses of black berries persist

low bell-like flowers appear in early Spring, before the 
leaves. This is the best and hardiest variety of a rather 
tender family. Plant in half shade if possible.

valued for its extraordinarily fine Fall coloration. Colors 
are as fine as the Sugar Maple of the East.

that in June is loaded with tiny fragrant flowers, followed 
by persistent red berries. A valuable shrub that grows up

clusters of deep rose flowers. Foliage quite bronzy in the 
Spring. Much like the variety Anthony Waterer but hardier 
and a little taller. 
SPIREA VAN HOUTTE OR BRIDAL WREATH. This is easily 
our most popular shrub. In June it is a rain of white flow- 
ers and the Fall color of the foliage is quite attractive. 
TAMARIX, HISPIDA. The foliage is exceedingly fine cut and 
in July the many long spikes of pink flowers give a most 
beautiful effect. Rather tall growing and will do well with 
very little water. Must be cut to the ground in planting.

covered with a profusion of small rose colored flowers.

We list here the best of the hardy bush roses, the kind 
that can be planted with other shrubs.

low of fence corners. Absolutely hardy and always blooms. 
A rather sprawly rose but invaluable in the right place. 
HUGONIS. Early in June each stem is lined with single yellow 
roses, like small hollyhocks. The bush grows six feet high 
and is most graceful. 
RUGOSA. The best bush rose for cold locations. We offer the 
red variety that in July carries large double flowers in 
profusion. Grows to four feet and has attractive rough 
leaves. Any of the 3 above, 40c each, postpaid.
