GORDONIA 
(The Franklin Tree) New 
15 feet. The finest of all fall-flowering 
trees with glossy green foliage from spring 
until fall when it changes through all the 
intervening shades to a bronzy crimson. 
While valuable for their fall coloring, the 
peak of their glory is reached in Septem- 
ber when the large, waxy white flowers, 
with hearts of golden stamens, appear 
along the branches. Planted in compara- 
tively light soil and in a protected loca- 
tion, Gordonia will bloom when quite 
small. Spring planting only. Large, 2-year 
plants, $2.25 each; $3.75 for 2.

Thundercloud. 12 feet. The finest scarlet-leaf Plum ever sold. 
Distinct foliage is deep, solid red throughout. You will 
never forget the sight of Thundercloud in bloom. Great 
masses of rosy pink flowers burst forth just as the leaves 
begin to unfold. Plant one of these and we feel certain 
you will agree that it is one of the most effective speci- 
mens in your yard. Fine 4 to 5 ft., branched trees, $2.50 
each; 2 ‘for $4.50. 1 
Royal Purple. 10 feet. A new, dwarf tree having the richest, 
darkest purple foliage and branches of all purple-leaved 
plants. Pink flowers in spring are followed by wine-red 
fruits in summer. A very beautiful, useful tree that adds 
a distinctive touch to any lawn or border planting. 4 to

the ages. The foliage, of long, 
leathery, shining green, bay 
leaves, forms an ideal back- 
ground for the large blooms 
and bright red clusters of seed
