SPRING FLOWERING SHRUBS 
We find it a good idea to get our spring flowering shrubs in early, before old man Spring Fever hits 
us, and then at blooming time we can relax and enjoy the new cleanness of their brilliant bloom. 
Please note: Approximate height of shrubs usually follows description. 
FRAGRANT SWEET SHRUB 
Calycanthus floridus. Friends who spent their younger 
years in the East tell us they rolled a few of the fragrant 
chocolate-colored blossoms in their handkerchiefs on the 
way to school. Must have been quite an inspiration. The 
shrubs thrive and bloom satisfactorily here with plenty of 
moisture. A little shade will help, too. 4-5 ft. 5-gal. con- 
tainers, $2.00; gal. containers, 75c. 
SHOWY FLOWERING QUINCE 
The family enjoys a much more extended blooming season 
than other deciduous shrubs. Cool fall nights open the 
swelling buds along in October. Through winter a few 
bright flowers appear and then in January the plants present 
a dazzling display that continues through April. The plants 
are well clothed through summer with thick glossy foliage. 
Sun or part shade. 4-6 ft. 
Cydonia japonica grandiflora. Large cool white flowers in 
great abundance. Has larger leaves and grows more rapidly 
than other varieties. Balled, bushy 3-3% ft., $2.00; 5-gal con- 
tainers, $1.75; gal. containers, 75c. 
Cydonia japonica Orange. Bears spectacular quantities 
of full bodied flowers, rich Nasturtium-orange in color. 
Blooms October to May. Moderate growth. 5-gal. con- 
tainers, $1.75; gal. containers, 60c. 
Cydonia japonica rosea. Rosy pink blossoms 1% in. across 
will provide a heavy note of color for several months. Cut 
sprays of the buds will open indoors and make handsome 
decorations. Balled, bushy 2-2% ft., $1.85; 5-gal. containers, 
$175: eal, containerss50c 
Cydonia sanguinea. The flowers of this variety are smaller 
than those of preceding varieties but what they lack in size 
they more than make up in the blazing quantities of their 
scarlet blossoms. Blooms heavily both fall and spring. Balled, 
bushy 2-2% ft., $1.85; 5-gal. containers, $1.75; gal. contain- 
ers, 50c. 
GOLDEN BELLS 
Forsythia intermedia. Before any of the other shrubs have 
heard the call of Spring Forsythia has lined its many arching 
branches with swaying golden bells. Full sun. 6 ft. 5-gal. 
containers, $1.75; gal. containers, 60c. 
SILVER BELLS 
Halesia carolina. ‘“Hear the tinkling of the bells—silver 
bells.”’ Possibly Poe had this tree in mind when he wrote his 
immortal poem—we wouldn’t know, but we do know that the 
sight of one of these large shrubs in spring, its branches hang- 
ing full of small white bells is a real inspiration. 8-10 ft. En- 
joys a little shade and moisture. 5-gal. containers, $1.75; gal. 
containers, 75c. 
GOLDEN CHAIN 
Laburnum anagyroides. If your imagination is in work- 
ing order, just picture in your mind many foot-long racemes 
of canary yellow, Wisteria blossoms hanging from a dense. 
upright 10 to 12-foot shrub with Lupine-like foliage. Any- 
way, that’s about the best we can do for you in the way of 
description. Plant in a moist location and it will be happy— 
so will you. Sun or light shade. 5-gal. containers, $2.50. 
FLOWERING POMEGRANATE 
Punica Granatum. Here is another shrub that has been 
somewhat neglected of late years, and without good reason, 
because from June until October it supports a wealth of 
lively double blooms that look like they had been made 
from wax. The heavy dark green highly polished foliage is 
always attractive. Easily grown in any sunny location. 8-10 
ft. We grow them in scarlet and variegated. 5-gal. contain- 
ers, $1.75; gal. containers, 60c. 
CREPE MYRTLE 
This phenomenal plant doesn’t get its blooming under way 
until late in July but when it does start it very often keeps 
up the good work until frost. Grows naturally as a shrub 
but may be trained into a handsome round-headed tree. 
Keep the plant moist through summer and early fall and 
you will be rewarded with many great panicles of fringed 
crepe paper-like flowers. 12-15 ft. See illustration, page 15.

tainers, $1.75; gal. containers, 60c.

FLOWERING ALMOND 
Through the spring months every drooping stem and 
slender upright branch is aglow with masses of small double 
flowers like little roses. Sprays of the cut flowers are most 
useful for indoor decorations. Through summer and_ fall 
the plant grows thriftily keeping itself well covered with 
clean bright foliage. 6 ft.
