CALLICARPA - Violet Jewel Berry 
Purpurea Each $0.75, Three $2.00, Doz. $7.50 
Gracefully recurving branches, covered in August with thousands of 
closely set, small, pink tinted flowers. These are followed in late Sep- 
tember by masses of violet-purple berries which last until mid-winter. 
There are few shrubs which give as much pleasure in the garden or which 
are so satisfactory for cutting. Ultimate height about five feet. We 
offer nice plants that will bear fruit at once. 
CALLUNA AND ERICA - Heaths and Heathers 
The Heaths are compact, low growing evergreen plants, and as such 
are extremely useful for planting in front of evergreens or as edgings. The 
small foliage is densely arranged around the wiry little stems, and either 
when in full bloom or in midwinter makes a very pretty picture. 
Culture. All Heaths and Heathers require a warm, well drained soil. Half 
peat and loam freely mixed with coarse sand to which a liberal quantity of 
well-rotted cow manure has been added suits them best. 
Calluna vulgaris Each $0.50, Doz. $5.00, 100 $37.50 
(Scotch Heather.) A low-growing shrub, with erect branches covered 
with short, closely adpressed leaves. The pretty, bell-shaped flowers 
occur Ht great profusion toward tops of the shoots, and are a pretty 
rosy color. 
*Calluna vulgaris aurea Each $0.50, Doz. $5.00, 100 $37.50 
(Golden Leaved Heather.) Same habit as Vulgaris except the foliage 
which is of a beautiful golden tint. 
*Calluna vulgaris nana compacta Each $0.50, Doz. $5.00, 100 $37.50 
Prostrate and compact in growth. Not over 7 or 8 inches. Dull, rich 
goen or fine little evergreen plant for the rock garden; has pink 
owers. 
CALYCANTHUS 
Floridus Each $0.75, Three $2.00, Doz. $7.50 
Few shrubs are so well known as the Carolina Allspice. In fact, over 
a large part of the United States it is called “Shrub” or “Shrub Bush” 
without any other qualification. In some places it is referred to as the 
“Sweet-scented Shrub,’’ the “Sweet Shrub,” or the ‘Strawberry Shrub.” 
The handsome, dark red-brown flowers are produced in early spring. 
They are deliciously fragrant, especially when wilted, and school-boys 
frequently fill their pockets with them, carrying them about until they 
are shriveled husks. The curious large pods which follow are full of 
smooth, brown seeds, like coffee beans, which are elusively aromatic 
when rubbed in the hands and often used as counters in children’s 
games. During the summer, the plant is neat and very handsome, with 
glossy, corrugated foliage. It grows 4 to 5 feet high, and in time will 
spread over an area equally broad. 
CARYOPTERIS 
Blue Mist (Mastacanthus x Mongolica) Hardy Blue Spirea 
Each $1.50, Three $4.00, Doz. $15.00 
This charming low growing shrub is a very real contribution to the 
meager list of summer and fall flowering shrubs. It is covered from 
August till autumn frost with numerous clusters of powdery blue 
tringed flowers. This shrub grows about 18 to 24 inches tall and is 
perfectly rounded, making a small mound about 2 feet in diameter. 
The foliage is lanceolate and slightly toothed and silvery green in 
color. A truly worth-while plant for the flower border as well as for 
in front of the shrubbery border. Perfectly hardy and replaces the 
tender mastacanthus now in use. 

CERCIS 
Chinensis Each $1.50, Three $4.00, Doz. $15.00 
This charming brilliantly spring-flowering shrub is a Chinese counter- 
part of the American Native Redbud. It flowers at the same time, but 
the quantity and quality of its flowers far surpass those of our common 
wild form. It is shrublike in growth, and when in bloom, every branch 
and twig is covered with thousands of bright purple blossoms almost 
double the size of the common variety and noticeably darker. You will 
want this in your garden surely. Ultimate height from 6 to 8 feet. 
CORNUS - Dogwood 
Florida rubra (Pink Dogwood) Each $4.50, Three $12.75, Doz. $45.00 
There are no trees or shrubs which possess a larger measure of attrac- 
tiveness throughout the whole year. The rare pink Dogwood is similar 
in all respects to the common variety except that the flowers are a 
beautiful shade of pink. A good specimen in full bloom is a magnificent 
sight in spring. Does well in shade. We offer plants full of buds, about 
4 to 5 feet tall. 
Kousa chinensis Each $3.50, Three $10.00, Doz. $35.00 
Chinese Dogwood was brcught to the Arnold Arboretum from China 
by E. H. Wilson in 1907. The flower heads are extremely large, fre- 
' quently 5 to 6 inches across, the white bracts overlapping the but- 
ton-like mass of real flowers in the center. Experts have acclaimed 
this Dogwood as the finest of Chinese plants introduced to America. 
Its flowers are produced in June and hang on in excellent condition 
for nearly a month. The fruits are like large strawberries, and very 
much enjoyed by the birds. Its foliage turns scarlet in autumn. 
This is a rare tree known only to a limited few. It is a magnificent 
improvement over the American Dogwood and we urge you plant 
One as soon as possible so you may enjoy this Oriental beauty soon. 
Ultimate height about 12 to 15 feet.
