PAEONIA suffruticosa, TREE PEONY (5). We explained about these last year. Demand 
for our fine seedlings is so great that every one is already sold. The only way that we can 
see for our readers to get them is to order a year ahead. We shall have them next season 
in 7 year and 9 year old plants at prices from $3.00 to $15.00 based on the quality of the 
flowers, as they are never sold until they have bloomed and a record made of each one. 
We are also growing a moderate number of grafted plants which are available in (or 
out of) 3 gallon cans at $7.50 and pot grown at $3.50 in assorted varieties. 
PHILADELPHUS, MOCKORANGE, “SYRINGA.” We imported and introduced the fol- 
lowing two a few years back. Both are decidedly outstanding. 
Atlas (5). Flowers are pure white and almost unbelievably large, frequently at- 
taining 2% inches in width. Growth decidedly erect. 2 to 3 ft. $1.75; 1% to 2 ft. $1.25. 
Belle Etoile (5). We consider this easily the best of those having a purple “eye.” 
The flowers are fairly large and deliciously fragrant. Petals are prettily frilled at 
the edges. Pure white except for the colored center. Growth bushy. To us it seems 
the best of all to date. 2 to 2% ft. $1.75, 1% to 2 ft. $1.25, 1 to 1% ft. $1.00. 
*PRINSEPIA sinensis, CHERRY PRINSEPIA (4). The Prinsepias are little known, very 
hardy oriental shrubs. This one has an abundance of fragrant yellow flowers followed by 
a mass of cherry-like fruits. Particularly desirable in cold climates as it leafs out before 
most everything else yet is not injured by late frosts. Pot grown 1% to 2 ft. 75c. 
*RHUS copallina, FLAMELEAF SUMAC (4). This native of eastern U. S. A. is decidedly 
valuable in California for the intensity of its clear red autumnal coloring. From gallon 
can 1 to 1% ft. 75c. 
VIBURNUM. We have been “playing up” the Viburnums in last two volumes of G.A. 
because we think they well deserve it. To those already described we will add three more 
—all good ones. Others will be found in Part II. 
*V. grandiflorum (7). English authorities seem to consider this even finer than 
the delightful V. fragrans which it slightly resembles but has larger and pinker 
flowers which are produced in late winter and will stand considerable freezing 
without injury. Extremely rare as yet in this country. A.M.R.H.S. Pot grown 
6 to 8 in. $1.50. 
*V, setigerum (V. theiferum), TEA VIBURNUM (5). Easily ranks among the 
finest of the hardy Viburnums. In spring the foliage is handsomely bronzed but 
later becomes clear green. Probably its greatest glory is due to the drooping clus- 
ters of ovoid berries which, profusely borne even on small plants, are bright ver- 
milion or maybe Chinese red. We are inclined to think it would.prefer at least 
partial shade in hot regions. Has been given the rare F.C.C.R.H.S. 2 to 2Y4it. $2.50, 
1% to 2 ft. $2.00; pot grown 1 to 1% ft. $1.00. 
*V. wrighti, WRIGHT VIBURNUM (5). For a change we will let others do the 
describing. An English catalog says: “It is attractive from August to October 
with cymes of glistening red globose-ovoid berries.” Florists Exchange: “It is just 
gorgeous. Berries large, very bright red and, best of all, borne in great profusion.” 
Morton Arboretum: “All red fruited Viburnums are showy but none more so than 
this which is rather like Linden Viburnum but broader of leaf and with larger, 
glossier bright scarlet fruit borne in handsome full clusters. Foliage has deep 
crimson autumnal coloring.” So why should we add anything? Grafted plants, 
pot grown 1% to 2 ft. $1.00. 
WEIGELA Fairy (5). All Weigelas are beautiful but many people who love pastel tints 
will be particularly fond of this variety which freely bears long clusters of fine flowers 
which are very soft light pink. 2% to 3 ft. $1.75. 
WEIGELA Springtime (5). This came to us from Europe as “Le Printemps” but proved 
not true to name so we don’t know what it really is but do know that it is a very handsome 
variety of vigorous, erect growth. Flowers are noticeably two-toned—rose on outside, flesh 
within, corolla lobes nearly white. We are using the English translation as a temporary 
name until it can be definitely identified. 2 to 3 ft. $1.75, 1% to 2 ft. $1.25. 
Climbers 
*SCHIZANDRA propinqua (7). A rare evergreen twining vine of moderate growth. Comes 
from the Himalayas and is related to the Magnolias. It bears orange flowers 12 to 34 inch 
broad in summer, followed by red berries. Pot grown 1 to 1% ft. $1.00. 
WISTERIA. We covered the whole Wisteria situation so thoroughly in G.A. “42 (which 
we will send on request) that we see no need of repetition this year particularly as stock 
is very limited in both climbing and tree form. What we have available is listed in Part Il.
