SPRING FLOWERING SHRUBS 
Some of our most colorful subjects are among the spring flowering shrubs: the Weigelas, their arch- 
ing branches strung with bright cheerful bells, the Flowering Almond, its slender branches simply 
crowded with double pink or white bloom, or the Philadelphus and its pearly white bloom and mysti- 
fying perfume. 
Please note: Approximate height of shrubs usually follows description. 

REI. 
MANCHURIAN BUSH CHERRY—Combines sparkling 
white flowers and good edible fruit. 
FRAGRANT SWEET SHRUB 
Calycanthus floridus, In the East, when you were young- 
sters, you probably rolled the fragrant chocolate colored 
flowers of this shrub in your handkerchiefs on the way to 
school—-for inspirational purposes, we hope. The plant thrives 
here in part shade with plenty of moisture. 4-5 ft. 5-gal. 
containers, $2.75; gal. containers, $1.00. 
CHEERFUL FLOWERING QUINCE 
Brilliant colors and large flowers characterize these charm- 
ing fall, winter and spring blooming shrubs. Through the 
cool fall days buds begin to burst and continue until spring 
when each plant is a huge bouquet of glowing color. Glossy 
foliage. Sun or part’ shade. 4-6 ft.. Balled, 2-3 ft., $2.75; 5- 
gal. containers, $2.50; gal. containers, 75c.

MANCHURIAN BUSH CHERRY 
Prunus tomentosa. To find out whether or not this hand- 
some fruiting shrub is as good as some folks claim we planted 
one two years ago at our Lombardy Ranch. The first sum- 
mer we had a beautiful plant and a little fruit, but last sum- 
mer we had the surprise of our life. The bushy four-foot plant 
was loaded, almost to the breaking point, with meaty cherries 
nearly one-half inch in diameter. For color they were scarlet 
lightly touched with amber. The flavor was good and they 
were sweet when fully ripe—please note that word “fully”. 
Excellent for jam, pie or jelly. In spring each branchlet is 
lined with small sparkling white bloom. An attractive bushy 
shrub that is quite hardy and easily grown. 5-6 ft. Sun. 5- 
gal. containers, $3.50. 
SILVER BELLS 
Halesia carolina. “Hear the tinkling of the bells—silver 
bells.” Possibly Poe had this tree in mind when he wrote his 
immortal poem—we wouldn’t know, but we do know that the 
sight of one of these large shrubs in spring, its branches hang- 
ing full of small white bells is a real inspiration. 8-10 ft. En- 
joys a little shade and moisture. 5-gal. containers, $2.75; gal. 
containers, $1.00. 
SHOWY CREPE MYRTLE 
Most shrubs enjoy blooming in spring and early summer 
but the Crepe Myrtles prefer to wait until midsummer when 
the competition isn’t so keen. From July until October they 
flaunt their huge trusses of pink, red and lavender to make 
the warm summer days more livable. Appreciate plenty of 
moisture during the blooming season. 8-15 ft. Sun, 5-gal. 
containers, $3.25; gal. containers, $1.00.
