Flowering Oiince 
CYDONIA (Chaenomeles) 
_ One of the first shrubs to bloom in spring. Their brilliant flowers and 
shiny foliage place them among the No. | plants for the spring garden. 
They may be allowed to grow into specimen plants or trimmed into hedges. 
Ultimate height about 5 to 6 feet. We offer here a collection of new hybrids 
not yet known in this country. These varieties are outstanding. The size of 
their blooms as well as the quantity in which they are produced is almost 
unbelievable. 
NEW HARDY CYDONIAS 
Aurea Each $1.00, Three $2.75, Doz. $10.00 
Many shrubs flower in May and June, but few can surpass the beauty 
of this lovely dwarf Quince. It is completely covered with rose suffused 
orange-red flowers from March to May. It Is particularly fine for dwarf 
hedges in its natural form, or it can be clipped if a formal hedge is 
desired. Growing less than 3 feet high, it is no problem to keep it in 
form. It makes a perfect picture in front of taller shrubs and looks 
well in the flower border along with Tulips and other spring flowers. 
Kermesina Semi-Plena Each $1.00, Three $2.75, Doz. $10.00 
The semi-double flowers are rose-pink and produced in abundant quan- 
tities early in spring. A very attractive early-flowering Quince only 
found in a few choice gardens. 
Nivalis Each $1.00, Three $2.75, Doz. $10.00 
This is the best pure white Quince. The sparkling white flowers con- 
trast well with the dark green foliage. A very handsome flower for 
cutting as well as a fine early-flowering shrub for the border. 
HFtyr anqgeds 
Paniculata grandiflora Each $0.65, Three $1.85, Doz. $6.50 
This variety is very well known, being in almost every garden. Its 
large conical heads, 12 to 18 inches long, become pink and red as the 
flower ages. If you want very large flowers, be sure to prune very 
severely each spring, also give it plenty of water during the summer. 
Quercifolia Each $1.25, Three $3.25, Doz. $12.50 
The Oakleaf Hydrangea is a rather uncommon bush. It has big, artistic 
leaves, indented, and somewhat ruffled, resembling in a magnified 
way the foliage of some gigantic oak. The flowers are not a great 
deal unlike those of Hydrangea paniculata, and are borne in enormous, 
conical heads which are very majestic and showy. Particularly valuable 
for the brilliant autumn coloring. Does well in shade. 

Sorsythia 
The name “Golden Bell’ has been attached to this family of hand- 
some shrubs, but nobody uses it, and in consequence, the name of 
William Forsyth, one of the greatest gardeners in history, is perpetu- 
ated in common speech through the Forsythia, which have become 
one of the most popular groups of shrubs grown in gardens. They 
should be given a place where they can grow untrammeled by restricted 
space and without pruning. There is nothing so miserable to look at 
as a Forsythia which has been clipped into some formal shape, or a 
line of them compelled to serve as a hedge; and there is nothing more 
beautiful and more expressive of springtime than the early grace of a 
Forsythia allowed to develop naturally according to its own sweet will. 
Giraldiana Each $1.50, Three $4.00, Doz. $15.00 
This is the earliest flowering Forsythia, blooming several days before 
Ovata. Its dainty yellow bell-shaped flowers are a treat so early in the 
spring. It is an uncommon and attractive, slender, spreading shrub 
which reaches an ultimate height of 5 to 7 feet and as much wide. 
Its rounded tapering foliage is dense and tinted a lovely brown which 
makes it outstanding throughout the summer. Does well in shade. An 
excepticnally hardy variety. 
Ovata Each $1.25, Three $3.25, Doz. $12.50 
(Korea.) Compact growing, seldom more than 4 feet high. The 
branches bear charming campanulate bright yellow, scented flowers 
during February and March, even in severe weather. Aside from being 
a fine flowering plant it is also a splendid shrub for shady places. 

FORSYTHIA, SPRING GLORY 
This new Forsythia is without question the loveliest of all the Golden 
Bells. 
When seen in bloom, it is a sight not easily forgotten, its large pale 
yellow flowers completely cover the branches in such masses that they 
literally bend with their weight. 
It would not be far amiss to say that it produces twice the number 
of blossoms of the common Forsythias. Further, the pale yellow color 
is very pleasing and brilliant, infinitely more attractive and cheerful 
than that of the varieties now in general use. If you desire a brilliant 
and cheerful display in your garden in early spring, plant a few For- 
sythia Spring Glory. There is nothing which will make you forget winter 
as quickly nor announce spring as flamboyantly. 
Each $1.50, Three $4.00, Doz. $15.00 

TFtypericums 
Attractive and charming low growing, summer-flowering shrubs. Their brilliant flowers are beau- 
tifully formed and grow on slender branches from early summer until stopped by frost. Excellent 
subjects for the flower border or in the foreground of taller shrubs, as well as for ground covering. 
Calycinum Each $0.60, Three $1.50, Doz. $4.50, 100 $30.00 
This is a most valuable variety because it can also be used as Gc 
ground cover for both sunny and semi-shady places. The under- 
ground runners are produced so freely as to completely cover the 
ground; at the tops the golden yellow flowers shine like jewels. Its 
height is about 12 to 18 inches. We recommend this as one of the 
best and hardiest. 
Hypericum, Sungold 


Moserianum Each $0.60, Three $1.50, Doz. $4.50, 100 $30.00 
A most desirable border shrub about 20 inches high, of free and 
graceful habit, producing long, slender stems, drooping, apparently from 
the weight of the flowers and buds, although the flowers face so none 
of their beauty is lost. Color a rich golden yellow, and bloom con- 
tinuously the entire season. 
HYPERICUM PATULUM 
t ) (U. S. Plant 
Sungol Patent No. 568) 
(See color picture, page 54.) 
A hardy, shapely, dwarf shrub which grows into an almost completely 
oval globe of 214 to 3 feet in diameter, and about 18 to 24 inches in 
height, densely covered with foliage that is handsome throughout the 
summer. It bears its cymes of golden flowers at the end of every shoot 
of the summer's new growth. It flowers more freely and much longer 
than any of the Hypericum Patulum now in general use. Its flowers 
are bigger and produced in immense quantities, transforming this lovely 
plant into a small mound of gold when in full bloom. 
Of particular interest and value is its exceptional hardiness. In our 
nursery tests over five years it has proven its ability to withstand cold 
weather as well as outgrow and outbloom any Hypericum we have ever 
seen. 
The average size of bloom is from 21% to 3 inches in diameter. 
Each $2.00. Three $5.75, Doz. $20.00
