early spring garden. They may either be 
allowed to grow into specimen bushes or 
trimmed into hedges. If unrestricted, the 
ultimate height is about 6 ft. The brilliant 
flowers are followed by small, fragrant, 
quince-shaped fruits, making a highly at- 
tractive appearance. Bushy, 18 to 24 in.

Flowering Quince 
COMMON PURPLE 
LILAC (Syringa 

1 
vulgaris). The 
standard garden variety, 
long considered as one of the best all 
around spring flowering shrubs, and ad- 
mired for its large clusters of lavender- 
blue flowers, and for its delightful 
fragrance. Excellent when used either as 
single specimens, or as a hedge. Heavy 
rooted 2 to 3 ft. bushes, only 35c ea.; 
3 for 90c. 
ROSE-ACACIA (Robinia his- 
pida). Bush-type 
Moss Locust. Light green leaves, and long, 
graceful clusters of pea-shaped, rose-col- 
ored flowers. Blooms June and later. Well- 
branched, 18 to 24 in. bushes, 35 each; 
2 for 60c. 
or Purple Fringe 
SMOKE TRE (Rede Counusl One 
of the most picturesque and unusual of the 
small ornamental trees. Its beautiful foli- 
age of dense green is surmounted in au- 
tumn with loose, feathery masses of tiny 
blue flowers, giving the entire tree the ap- 
pearance of a dense cloud of smoke—a 
truly beautiful sight on any lawn. Do not 
confuse this with Cotinoides, an inferior 
southern species, frequently offered, but 
which is not the true Smoke Tree, and 
which is always unsatisfactory. Our stock 
is guaranteed true Rhus Cotinus—all Mich- 
igan grown, and well worth our price for 
strong, 2-yr., 18 to 24 in. bushes, only 
50c each; 2 for 90c; 10 for $3.85.
