Hardy SHRUBS for Beauty 
Enjoy genuine satisfaction, contentment and happiness by adding an 
outdoor living room to your home. The full beauties and pleasures of life 
lie right at your door-step, within your reach. The health and happiness 
of the entire family are intensified by the wholesome companionship of 
God’s great out-of-doors. You can make your home grounds so inviting 
that the call to enjoy them for at least six to eight months out of the year 
will be irresistible. The charm of flowering plants and trees tastefully ar- 
ranged, that will create a veritable living room out-of-doors, will pull the 
entire family to it, where they will spend countless hours of enjoyment. 
Let us help you in the design and in the selection of the most suitable 
varieties for your development. 
ALMOND, PINK DOUBLE-FLOWERING—A beautiful shrub, covered in May with rose- 
colored flowers like small roses; hardy 
ALTHEA (Rose of Sharon)—One of the most showy and beautiful shrubs; blooms freely 
in August and September. Red, White, Pink, and Purple. 
BARBERRY THUNBERGI—Dwarf habit, small foliage, changing to a beautiful coppery 
red in the fall. Immune from rust. Makes beautiful ornamental hedge. 
BARBERRY, RED LEAF—Medium height, with distinctly red foliage. An exact repro- 
duction of the Thunbergi in leaf and fruit formation. Better color obtained if planted 
in open sunlight. 
BEAUTY BUSH—Pale pink trumpet-shaped flowers early summer, long arching, graceful 
branches. Hardy. 
BUTTERFLY BUSH—Dies to the ground in the winter, hence a perennial shrub. Some- 
times called summer lilac because of the many spikes of purple blossoms from August 
until frost. 
COTONEASTER—Rich, dark, glossy green foliage, fruit black. Very drouth resisting 
and makes ideal hedge. 
CORALBERRY—Hardy, dwarf, native shrub covered with bright red berries during 
winter. Nothing better for covering terraces. 
CORALBERRY, CHENAULTI—A new and much improved variety; a hybrid originating 
in the Arnold Arboretum, conspicuous white fruit with red dots. 
CRANBERRY, HIGH-BUSH—Large clusters of single white flowers in the spring, fol- 
- lowed by red berries that hang in clusters nearly all winter. 
DOGWOOD, RED—A very showy, popular shrub because of the red barked branches 
during the winter, dainty white flowers early in the spring. 
DEUTZIA, PRIDE OF ROCHESTER—Produces large double white flowers, tinged with 
rose; vigorous grower, profuse early bloom. 
ELDER, GOLDEN—A handsome variety with golden-yellow foliage. 
FORSYTHIA, INTERMEDIA—Flowers bright golden-yellow; 
foliage glossy green. A 
valuable variety, spreading habit. 
FORSYTHIA, SUSPENSA—Drooping branches with yellow blossoms appearing before 
foliage comes forth in the spring. A valuable variety. 
HONEYSUCKLE, FRAGRANTISSIMA—Deep green foliage, small fragrant flowers ap- 
pear before the leaves, erect in growth but spreading.
