Inkberry—Ilex Glabra Used as a Hedge 
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. 
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. 

ILEX - Holly 
Convexa (Crenata bullata) 
12 to b> inch Each $2.50, Three $7.00, Doz. $25.00 
15 to 18 inch Each $3.00, Three $8.50, Doz. $30.00 
This is one of the choicest of evergreens and was introduced into this 
country in 1919 by E. H. (Chinese) Wilson. It has taken many years. of 
effort to produce this little beauty in quantities, but now it’s here for 
you to enjoy. It is very bushy, has shiny dark green, boxwood-like foli- 
age somewhat convex and it grows about 4 feet high and 3 feet across. 
The glossy leaves are so profuse that twigs are invisible. Left to itself 
it grows “informally formal’’ and blends beautifully with other ever- 
greens. As a small “‘accent’’ plant it is faultless. For small hedges it is 
a jewel, particularly in cold climates where boxwood is impossible but it 
is much too rare yet to be used for that purpose. An absolute “must” for 
every garden. Does well in light shade or full sun and is equally happy 
on alkaline or acid soil, and last but not least, it is as) hardy as an oak. 
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.

MAGNOLIA 
Soulangeana Each $6.00, Three $17.00, Doz. $60.00 
Soulange’s Magnolia, sometimes called the Saucer Magnolia for no 
reason at all, is the rather rare Pink Magnolia of city gardens and 
parks. It makes a small tree with gorgeous shining foliage and in 
early spring produces its enormous, pinkish white flowers, more or less 
purplish outside and slightly fragrant. This Magnolia is the showiest of 
the family for planting in northern gardens, and when in bloom, even 
one plant will dominate the garden—yes, the neighborhood, if it is a 
sizeable specimen. A whole street in Rochester, lined with this variety, 
is a mecca for all enthusiasts every spring. We offer flowering plants 
with a lot of buds, about 3 to 5 feet tall. 
Stellata (Star Magnolia) Each $6.00, Three $17.00, Doz. $60.00 
The rarest of the hardy Magnolias. It grows to a small spreading 
tree; however, this requires years. Early in spring the plant is 
covered with a mass of fragrant pure white starlike flowers, which are 
3 inches across. The numerous long waxy white petals are held to- 
gether in a lovely starlike shape. A beautiful thing for a small 
lawn or any small garden. We offer fine plants about 214 feet tall 
with flower buds ready to bloom.

small irregular shaped mound about 2 to 2% 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

apart in a single row it will make one of the most charming informal 
hedges that can be imagined. (Color illustration, page 34.)

FLOWERING PLUMS 
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 tre case with this special selection of 
ours recently imported from England. Its foliage is of the deepest shade 
of purplish red imaginable, almost biack. It makes a fine contrast plant

10 feet. Occasional pruning will keep it in shape desired.

size if desired. In early spring it is covered with thousands of large

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. 
pink flowers you will enjoy the light bronze colored foliage which in

growing on their own roots because they are so much more satisfactory.
