dence of special merit.

es of fragrant, pure white blossoms.

large trusses; single maroon-red. A 
free-blooming, thrifty plant. Still the 
best in its color.

ceptionally large trusses 
of semi-double blossoms 
carried in erect clusters.

well-filled clusters. Rosy- 
lavender and claret, re- 
sembling double violets.

form.

THE LOVELY BLUE VITEX 
This rather slender shrub produces 
quantities of most attractive light blue 
flower spikes in late summer. Excellent 
material for cutting. Like Butterfly 
Bush the tops usually kill back to the 
ground in New England; elsewhere it 
should be pruned hard as it grows to a 
height of 7-8 ft. $1.00 each; 3 for $2.75. 

BEAUTY BUSH 
(Kolkwitzia amabilis) 
The finest pink, June-flowering shrub, provid- 
ing it has sufficient space to develop its real 
beauty. Makes a spread of 8 to 10 feet when 
mature. Every twig covered with light pink, 
ball-shaped blossoms like weigela, but smaller, 
and carried on strong graceful semi-pendent 
branches. Best in full sun; not too rich soil. 
Perfectly hardy but slow to establish. 2 to 3 
feet. $1.25 each. 
THE FRAGRANT DOUBLE 
MOCKORANGE 
VIRGINAL. Glistening clusters of pure white 
semi-double blossoms often 2 inches across 

Double Mockorange, ‘‘Virginal’’ 
and deliciously fragrant. In full flower 
usually by Decoration Day yet it blossoms 
intermittently throughout the whole season. 
Height at maturity, 7-8 ft. $1.00 each, 3 for 
$2.75. 

TWO CHOICE BERRIED 
SHRUBS 
ARONIA BRILLIANTISIMA. This colorful 
shrub retains its brilliant red berries from 
Autumn clear through the Winter and 
makes a 4-5 foot dense shrub. The blossoms 
in May have a faint Hawthorn fragrance. 
The foliage in summer is an attractive 
glossy green, turning vivid red in Autumn. 
Fine for naturalizing or a sanctuary for 
birds. $1.00 each, 3 for $2.75. 
AMERICAN CRANBERRY. Viburnum 
americanum. A. vigorous, handsome shrub 
with striking scarlet berries from mid- 
summer well into Winter. Entirely free 
from the insect pests so troublesome on the 
European form. 7-8 feet when 
mature. $1.00 each, 3 for $2.75. 
PINK 
FLOWERING 
QUINCE 
Here is one of the finest ad- 
ditions to the spring-flower- 
ing shrubs. The typical red- 
flowering quince has long 
been one of the spring favor- 
ites. This new variety is a 
attractive 
most silvery- 
pink, very profuse in flower- 
ing and of splendid upright 
growing habit. 
Four year size 
cut back 
$2.00 Each 

LOVELY, DOUBLE- 
FLOWERING CRABAPPLE 
BECHTEL (Malus ioensis fl. pl.) 
Double pink blossoms like roses in June. 4-5 ft. 
stocky trees, $3.00 each; larger size, $4.00 each. 
DOLGA CRAB. Fruiting Crab, included 
here because the fruit is so brilliantly 
ornamental. Makes a wonderfully flavored, 
ruby red jelly. Flowers blush pink and 
definitely attractive. Tree grows to 20 feet. 
5-6 ft. tree, $1.50. 
FINEST OF 
THE GOLDEN BELLS 
FORSYTHIA SPECTABILIS. Far more 
showy than the older kinds; also hardier. 
The flower buds are seldom injured. Follow- 
ing a severe winter, it will likely be the 
only Forsythia to make a complete Spring 
display, when the arching branches will be 
literally covered with rich golden-yellow 
blossoms. $1.00 each, 3 for $2.75.
