POTENTILLA FRUTICOSA 
Snowflake 
A graceful, small, 3-ft. high shrub, upright in growth, yet compact. 
Foliage is dense and fernlike in effect. From early June until October 
the plants are studded with silvery white, chalice-like blooms. A splen- 
did low-growing and graceful shrub for foreground planting. Fits in 
perfectly with perennial plants in the hardy border. Prefers a sunny 
location. Is hardy in below zero temperatures. 
Each $1.00, Three $2.75, Doz. $10.00 
Gold Drop 
A charming small shrub of such compact growth as to resemble a 
small irregular shaped mound about 2 to 214 feet high. It is closely 
and densely covered with small, fernlike leaves and studded with in- 
tensely brilliant golden yellow, buttercup-like flowers from early June 
until October. This delightful small shrub may be used in front of the 
shrub border or in the foreground of any perennial planting. It does 
best in full sun and is hardy in below zero temperatures. The original 
plant we selected from the common Potentilla Fruticosa. It is far 
superior both in flowering qualities, habit and general appearance. 
We know of no shrubs which flower so consistently and remain so cheer- 
fully brilliant throughout the entire summer and fall. Spaced 12 inches 
apart in a single row it will make one of the most charming informal 
hedges that can be imagined. 
Each $2.00, Three $5.75, Doz. $20.00 

ROBINIA - Rose-Acacia 
Hispida, Monument (Pyramidal Rose-Acacia) 
Each $3.50, Three $10.00, Doz. $35.00 
The habit of growth of this Rose-Acacia is not unlike that of the Lom- 
bardy Poplar. And because of this unusual habit we have a small flow- 
ering tree that can be grown in every garden, big or little. It may be 
used as a small lawn specimen or in the shrub border where it will not 
crowd or harm plants near by. During late May and June it is covered 
with drooping clusters of deep rose-colored flowers resembling pea- 
blossoms. Will grow in any soil anywhere. Ultimate height about 10 to 
12 feet. We offer nice plants about 6 feet.

FLOWERING ALMONDS, PLUMS AND PEACHES 
Among the Flowering Prunes are several handsome shrubs called vari- 
ously: Flowering Plums, Flowering Cherries, Flowering Almonds and Flowering 
Peaches. They are so well known that they do not need any introduction. 
They are very hardy. 
FLOWERING PEACHES 
The general habit of all is much the same, the main difference being in 
color of flowers and time of blooming. They should be very severely pruned 
every year as soon as they have finished blooming and before growth starts. 
Cutting them for decoration accomplishes the same purpose and is highly 
beneficial but should be completed as soon as flowers are gone. All growth 
of the previous season should be cut back to about 8 inches. Don’t touch 
them in the fall as that is simply cutting off potential flowers. 
Spring planting only is recommended except in localities where tempera- 
tures do not go below 10 degrees of frost. 
Cardinal Each $1.50, Three $4.00, Doz. $15.00 
Profusely laden with richly colored madder-rose or Tyrian rose double 
blooms which have a rich crimson sheen. A brilliant and beautiful effect 
is created. A thrill you will long remember. A rare plant for your garden. 
Iceberg Each $1.50, Three $4.00, Doz. $15.00 
A magnificent pure double white Peach. Spotlessly white flowers in 
gest quantities give an effect not often seen in flowers. A perfect 
eauty. 
Pink Charming Each $1.50, Three $4.00, Doz. $15.00 
Delightful and charming is what visitors tell us of this variety. Lovely 
double rose-pink blossoms grow in super-abundance, making this small 
tree look like a huge bouquet. 
Dwarf Mandarin Each $1.50, Three $4.00, Doz. $15.00 
This charming miniature Peach tree grows not over 4 feet high. It 
makes a compact small head about two feet in diameter of short, stubby 
branches which are heavily loaded with double crimson flowers, turning 
the plant at blooming time into a small ball of fire. Its foliage through- 
out the summer is lovely and dark green, As a result “Dwarf Mandarin’ 
is a perfect little standard tree for use in the center of a small bed or 
garden square, as well as an extra point of interest in the flower border. 
WEEPING PEACHES 
Like other weeping trees of this nature, these are top-grafted on erect 
stems at about 4 or 5 feet. The branches droop sharply, giving them a 
very artistic appearance. 
Double Red Weeping Each $2.00, Three $5.75, Doz. $20.00 
Color is very rich and entirely distinct from the erect reds. 
Double White Weeping Each $2.00, Three $5.75, Doz. $20.00 
Flowers are exactly like those of the tea-plant, but larger and moderately 
double, showing the ‘yellow stamens. The long sprays of handsome flow- 
ers give a delightful effect.

DOUBLE PINK PENDULANT PEACH 
Queen of Hearts Each $2.50, Three $7.00, Doz. $25.00 
This beautiful small tree does not droop fully as much as the red or 
the white varieties, but has more of a spreading pendulant habit which 
gives a superbly artistic effect. The blooms are fully double and a 
clean, sparkling, pure pink closely set on twisting, arching branches, 
creating a picture that you will long remember. This little tree even 
when not in bloom is most pleasing to look at. We are sure you will 
highly enjoy this in a choice spot in your garden, or perhaps as an 
isolated specimen on the lawn. 
FLOWERING ALMOND 
Glandulosa alba Each $1.25, Three $3.25, Doz. $12.50 
(Flowering Almond.) The small, very double, white rosettes grow in 
great quantities along the stem in late April and early May. Lovely 
when in bloom. Ultimate height about 4 to 5 feet. 
Glandulosa rosea Each $1.00, Three $2.75, Doz. $10.00 
Produces very double, rose-colored flowers in great profusion in spring. 
One of the most charming old-fashioned early flowering shrubs, and 
is still unsurpassed in beauty in its season. Our plants are grown on 
their own roots, thus insuring extra vigor and more lasting satisfaction 
as well as no “wild suckers.’ 
FLOWERING PLUMS 
Pissardi rosea (Purple-Leaved Plum “Special Selection’) 
Each $2.00, Three $5.50, Doz. $20.00 
The deep bronzy purple foliage of this small tree is its great attraction; 
however, the thousands of pink, single flowers in spring are not to be 
overlooked. Most ‘‘purple”’ leaved trees lose much of their color through- 
out the summer, but this is not the case with this special selection of 
ours recently imported from England. Its foliage is of the deepest shade 
of purplish red imaginable, almost black. It makes a fine contrast plant 
and helps give variety and color in the garden, easily grown and ideal 
for the small yard or a special point of interest. Ultimate height about 
10 feet. Occasional pruning will keep it in shape desired. 
Pissardi Veitchi Each $2.00, Three $5.50, Doz. $20.00 
This small tree grows about 10 feet tall, but can be pruned to smaller 
size if desired. In early spring it is covered with thousnads of large 
clusters of double pink blossoms not unlike those of the double flow- 
ering cherry or peach. It is very hardy and should be used in place of 
flowering peaches or cherries exclusively in those localities where the 
latter are not hardy. In addition to the delightful display of double 
pink flowers you will enjoy the light bronze colored foliage which in 
late summer turns green. Here is a small tree equally charming for the 
small garden or as a specimen on a large lawn. 
Triloba Each $1.25, Three $3.25, Doz. $12.50 
(Flowering Plum.) The flowering Plum blooms early in May before the 
leaves come out. The delightful double, quilled, bright pink flowers 
stud every twig and branchlet so heavily no wood is visible. Very 
handsome and should not be left out of any garden. Here again we 
offer plants growing on their own roots because they are so much more 
satisfactory. Ultimate height about 8 feet.
