HALESIA 
Tetraptera Each $1.00, Three $2.75, Doz. $10.00 
The Silver Bell or Snowdrop Tree, also sometimes called the Lily-of-the- 
Valley Tree, is a most attractive round-headed, bushy little tree with 
horizontal branches and rather ordinary foliage. Its beauty consists in 
the millions of small white bells which dangle in bewildering profusion 
from the lower side of the branchlets. Certainly no flowering tree is 
handsomer and daintier than the Silver Bell when in full bloom, and it is 
always an object of great interest and curiosity. 
ILEX GLABRA - Inkberry 
Glabra Each $1.50, Three $4.00, Doz. $15.00 
The Inkberry is a loose, spreading shrub, 4 to 5 feet high at maturity, 
with shining \dark green leaves and a profusion of glittering black 
berries through the winter. It is an excellent plant for hedges in shady 
situations. It may also be effectively used as individual plants mixed 
with evergreens or in front of the shrubbery border. 
Serrata (Sieboldi) Each $1.00, Three $2.75, Doz. $10.00 
This is the deciduous Holly. It is slow growing and ultimately reaches 
a height of about 10 feet. In winter, after the leaves have been shed, 
it is one of the most showy shrubs because of the persistent brilliant 
red berries which hang on practically all winter. They make a cheerful 
showing outside against the snow and are charming for cutting and 
winter decorations. 
Kolkwitzia Amabilis 


{174} 


KERRIA 
Japonica flora plena Each $1.00, Three $2.75, Doz. $10.00 
Double Kerria is sometimes called the Globe Flower because the choice 
double golden flowers have a ball-like shape not unlike the button 
chrysanthemums. The plant grows vigorously and attains a maximum 
height of 4 to 5 feet. It is bushy in habit with many bright green 
stems, attractive all winter. Give it a sunny location in front of the 
border and its golden yellow blooms all ‘summer will be a pleasure. 
The flowers last well in water and are excellent for cutting. 
KOLKWITZIA - Beauty Bush 
Amabilis Each $1.25, Three $3.25, Doz. $12.50 
A handsome flowering shrub which came from China. While upright in 
growth its branches at the ends are arching, almost pendulent, so that 
they cover the ground about them and never look ‘‘leggy’’ and bare. It 
is perfectly hardy anywhere, has excellent foliage and in June is a 
fountain of bell-shaped, light pink flowers not unlike the weigela. 
Grows anywhere and does exceedingly well in dry, sandy, poor soil. 
Kolkwitzias do not bloom the first year or two after planting. Ultimate 
height about 7 to 8” feet. 
LABURNUM - Golden Chain 
Vossi Each $3.00, Three $8.50, Doz. $30.00 
Long-clustered Golden Chain. Small tree-like shrub with green bark 
and foliage like exaggerated clover leaves. Flowers are pure golden 
yellow and formed exactly like those of Wisteria. The hanging clusters 
attain as much as 18 to 20 inches length and are borne very pro- 
fusely in late spring. Very beautiful. Usually bloom the first year 
after planting. 
Adami Each $4.00, Three $11:50, Doz. $40.00 
This is a “graft hybrid’ producing many racemes of yellow and purple 
on the same branch. It is most attractive as well as unusual to see 
flowers of different colors growing from the same branch. Will grow 
into a small tree about 12 feet tall and flowers during May. A rare 
plant you will enjoy owning and showing your friends. Two distinct 
types of blooms on the same branches. 
LAGERSTROEMIA INDICA - Crapemyrtle 
(Not hardy North. Offered for the benefit of our southern cus- 
tomers only.) 
Crapemyrtle will sometimes remain dormant, not putting out foliage for 
a year. Keep the plants watered and soil loosened. Severe pruning is 
recommended to keep plants in shape. This should be done in February. 
This popular free-flowering shrub is perhaps one of the loveliest plants of 
the South. Its magnificent flowers throughout the hot summer give to 
gardens a _gaiety not possible to duplicate with anything else. All are hardy 
south of Baltimore. 
Wm. Toovey Each $1.00, Three $2.75, Doz. $10.00 
A magnificent new variety with huge clusters of watermelon-red 
flowers. Distinct and attractive foliage help make this a beautiful 
flowering shrub. 
White Beauty Each $1.00, Three $2.75, Doz. $10.00 
A fine white-flowered form with beautiful lacy white flower clusters— 
a perfect foil for Wm. Toovey.
