PHILADELPHUS, VIRGINAL 
Finest of the Philadelphus 
Semi-double. White. Everblooming. Everything considered this 
is the most sensational of all the Philadelphus. In fact, we regard 
it the most valuable acquisition to the flower garden of recent years. 
The bush is a moderately strong grower, with us attaining a height 
of 6 to 7 feet. Rather open, sparse foliage to make the wonderful 
blooms all the more conspicuous. Flowers pure white, semi-double, 
often 2 inches in diameter. Begins to bloom about June 15th with 
us, and blooms profusely for about 3 weeks. Then it rests a few 
weeks and starts to bloom again, continuing with a small amount 
of bloom until frost. 3 to 4 ft., $1.00; 2 for $1.80; 10 for $8.00 
The Finest New Shrub Brought Out in the Past 50 Years 
PRUNUS, Newport Improved. The Minnesota Fruit Farm sent out the 
Newport which was a fairly good red-leaved tree. They later on 
discovered among their red seedlings a tree which resembled the 
Newport but which had much redder leaves and was far superior to 
the Newport in every way. This is the Improved Newport. The 
foliage is an intense rich red all through the season. A row of Im- 
proved Newport in the nursery all through the season is a brilliant 
sight. The most brilliant of all red-leaved trees and perfectly hardy 
100 miles north of Faribault. If you want a brilliant red, in your 
yard all summer long, use Newport and Cistena. 
Nice 4 to 5 ft. trees, $1.25; 2 for $2.00 
RHUS trilobata. A wonderful shrub of extreme hardiness that we 
found in many fine plantings in North Dakota. It makes a_ nice 
rounded bush and can be kept to any height up to 6 feet. Shrub 
gives off a pleasant spicy scent. Greenish flowers followed by red, 
hairy fruit. 
2 to 3 ft., 50c; 4 for $1.50 
3 to 4 ft., 75c; 4 for $2.00 
SNOWBALL. The old-fashioned Snowball of grandmother’s garden. 
Just as popular as it ever was. Everybody likes it.

SPIREA, Korean. This shrub has larger flowers than the common Bridal 
Wreath, Spirea Van Houtte. The individual florets each have a dis- 
tinct eye which gives the bloom much more effect. Absolutely hardy 
here in Minnesota. Starts to bloom heavily on two-year-old plants. The 
plant grows very fast and soon develops into a beautiful specimen. 
We are sure that this is the best new Spirea that has come to us in 
many years. Snow-white blossoms with a yellowish white eye.

FOOD FOR 
THE BIRDS 
Five Great Bird Food Bearing 
Shrubs and Trees 
Everyone loves the birds and we like to see them have plenty to eat. Now 
we can very easily beautify our grounds and supply food to the birds at the 
same time if we plant beautiful shrubs which bear berries and fruit which the 
birds like as food. We have many of these shrubs planted about our grounds 
and the birds do a good job of eating the fruit. 
We know if we have strawberries, currants, or raspberries in our garden that 
we have a struggle to keep the fruit from the birds. If we have shrubs and 
trees in our yard that bear fruit that the birds like, they will be apt to eat 
these fruits and leave the other fruits alone. 
We have taken notice of what shrub and tree fruits the birds particularly 
like and we advise the planting of these shrubs and trees and we have listed 
them in the order in which they ripen and are eaten by the birds.
