This is a collection of lovely ornamentals, shrubs and trees of outstanding beauty, for

(Listed in order of ultimate height) 
ROSE OF SHARON (Double Althea). A colorful 
shrub which blooms continuously from July 
until frost. We have them in Double Red, 
Double Pink, Double Purple, Double White, 
and Double White with Red Eye. 
AMERICAN SMOKE TREE (Purple Fringe). One 
of the most beautiful and unusual plants. 
From mid-summer until autumn surmounted 
with masses of feathery panicles of flowers 
which give the effect of a cloud of smoke. 
Makes a unique specimen on the lawn. 
BECHTEL’S CRAB. A beautiful, double pink 
flowering crab with fragrant flowers in May- 
June, covering the whole tree. 
BLOOD-LEAF PLUM (Prunus cistena). A new col- 
orful shrub with deep purple leaves all sea- 
son. Even the bark itself and the wood is 
purple. Its unusual foliage makes an attrac- 
tive contrast to the green of the lawn. The 
shrub is very hardy. 
RED LILAC LUDWIG SPAETH. Beauty and fra- 
grance of this French Lilac are unexcelled. 
The large blossoms are of splendid dark 
purplish red color. 
WASHINGTON CHERRY (Prunus Kwanzan). 
These Double Flowering Cherries are like a 
symbol of spring time, charm, and beauty. 
Dark pink, very double flowers, up to 2 in- 
ches in diameter. See illustration page 1. 
CORNELIAN CHERRY (Cornus mas). Clusters of 
yellow flowers cover this shrub long before 
spring arrives. Almost overnight the shrub 
bursts into blossom, later bearing red edible 
fruit resembling small cherries. 
WHITE FLOWERING DOGWOOD (Cornus flor- 
ida). A native American tree with white 
flowers in spring before the leaves appear, 
and deep red foliage in autumn. 
RED FLOWERING DOGWOOD (Cornus florida 
rubra). Magnetic beauty in spring with its 
profusion of pink and light red flowers. 
MAGNOLIA SOULANGEANA. Magnolia trees 
are beauty spots for miles around wherever 
planted. Delightfully fragrant flowers, pink 
in bud and white when open, cover the trees 
in spring before leaves appear. Our trees 
have flower buds to bloom for you this spring. 
DOUBLE SCARLET HAWTHORN (Crataegus ox. 
splendens). A beautiful tree, in May-June 
covered with double red flowers over and 
over, followed by red berries.
