MAGNOLIA 
Soulangeana Each $6.00, Three $17.00, Doz. $60.00 
Souiange’s Magnolia, sometimes called the Saucer Magnolia for no 
reason at all, is the rather rare Pink Magnolia of city gardens and 
parks. 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 Magnolia 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 is a 
sizeable specimen. A whole street in Rochester, lined with this variety, 
is a mecca for all enthusiasts every spring. We offer flowering plants 
with a lot of buds, about 3 to 5 feet tall. 
Stellata (Star Magnolia) Each $5.50, Three $16.50, Doz. $51.50 
The rarest of the hardy Magnolias. It grows to a small spreading 
tree; however, this requires years. Early in spring the plant is 
covered with a mass of fragrant pure white starlike flowers, which are 
3 inches across. The numerous long waxy white petals are held to- 
gether in a lovely starlike shape. A _ beautiful thing for a small 
lawn or any small garden. We offer fine plants about 21% feet tall 
with flower buds ready: to bloom. 
MAHONIA 
ee Each $1.50, Three $4.25, Doz. $15.00 
his is more popularly known as the Oregon Holly Grape. It has shiny, 
large, spiny, metallic looking leaves which turn a bronzy red in 
autumn. In spring the clusters of yellow flowers are very attractive. 
These flowers are followed by blue fruit in June and July. We consider 
it one of the most attractive evergreens of easy cultivation. Does 
perfectly in north exposure in plantings of evergreens. Ultimate height 
about 21% to 3 feet, depending on location where grown. 
PACHISTIMA (See page 159) 
PHILADELPHUS 
Pekinensis (Brachybotrys) Each $1.10, Three $3.00, Doz. $9.75 
Pekin Mock Orange. A beautiful Mock Orange from China. In fact, 
experts claim this to be the finest species from that immense country. 
Its 5- to 8-foot, slender branches are covered from end to end with 
racemes of l-inch, fragrant, white flowers. It is one of the showiest of 
June-flowering shrubs. It has fine, compact habit of growth and is per- 
fectly suited for the shrub border. 
Zeyheri Each $1.10, Three $3.00, Doz. $9.75 
The Snowstorm Mock Orange. Few shrubs produce as many flowers as 
does this Mock Orange. In early June it is a veritable hill of snow. 
When the blooming period is over, it is a showy shrub with good, clean, 
bold foliage. Altogether a very worth-while, rare plant you will be proud 
to point out to your friends. Ultimate height 6 to 8 feet. 
NEW GIANT MOCK ORANGE 
Atlas 
This giant-flowered Mock Orange, with its pure white blooms 
as large as those of Dogwoods, will be sensational in your garden 
and we predict will replace many of the more common and in- 
different shrubs. This magnificent hybrid came to us a few 
years ago from France. It has been carefully tested and not 
found wanting. Hardy, of easy culture, grows most anywhere, 
good upright habit, and covered with immense blooms which 
slightly lack being 3 inches in diameter that are magnificent for 
cutting. Decidedly a ‘‘must’’ for every shrubbery border. 
Each $3.00, Three $8.50, Doz. $30.00 


Mahonia Aquifolium 
P, UUs 
FLOWERING ALMONDS, PLUMS AND PEACHES 
Among the Flowering Prunes are several handsome shrubs called vari- 
ously: Flowering Plums, Flowering Cherries, Flowering Almonds and Flowering 
Peaches. They are so well known that they do not need any introduction. 
They are very hardy. 
FLOWERING PEACHES 
The general habit of all is much the same, the main difference being in 
color of flowers and time of blooming. They should be very severely pruned 
every year as soon as they have finished blooming and before growth starts. 
Cutting them for decoration accomplishes the same purpose and is highly 
beneficial but should be completed as soon as flowers are gone. All growth 
of the previous season should be cut back to about 8 inches. Don’t touch 
them in the fall as that is simply cutting off potential flowers. 
Spring planting only is recommended except in localities where tempera- 
tures do not go below 10 degrees of frost. 
Cardinal Each $2.00, Three $5.00, Doz. $20.00 
Profusely laden with richly colored madder-rose or Tyrian rose double 
blooms which have a rich crimson sheen. A brilliant and beautiful effect 
is created. A thrill you will long remember. A rare plant for your garden. 
Iceberg Each $2.00, Three $5.00, Doz. $20.00 
A magnificent pure double white Peach. Spotlessly white flowers in 
great quantities give an effect not often seen in flowers. A perfect 
beauty. 
Pink Charming Each $2.00, Three $5.00, Doz. $20.00 
Delightful and charming is what visitors tell us of this variety. Lovely 
double rose-pink blossoms grow in super-abundance, making this small 
tree look like a huge bouquet. : 
Dwarf Mandarin Each $2.00, Three $5.00, Doz. $20.00 
This charming miniature Peach tree grows not over 4 feet high. It 
makes a compact small head about two feet in diameter of short, stubby 
branches which are heavily loaded with double crimson flowers, turning 
the plant at blooming time into a small ball of fire. Its foliage through- 
out the summer is lovely and dark green. As a result ‘‘Dwarf Mandarin’ 
is a perfect little standard tree for use in the center of a small bed or 
garden square, as well as an extra point of interest in the flower border. 
WEEPING PEACHES 
Like other weeping trees of this nature, these are top-grafted on erect 
stems at about 4 or 5 feet. The branches droop decidedly, giving them a 
very artistic appearance. 
Double Red Weeping Each $2.50, Three $7.00, Doz. $25.00 
Color is very rich and entirely distinct from the erect reds. 
Double White Weeping Each $2.50, Three $7.00, Doz. $25.00 
Flowers are exactly like those of the tea-plant, but larger and moderately 
double, showing the yellow stamens. The long sprays of handsome flow- 
ers give a delightful effect.
