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 
exceptionally hardy variety. 
Ovata Each $1.25, Three $3.50, Doz. $12.00 
(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 
ells. 4 
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.

Paniculata grandiflora Each $1.00, Three $2.75, Doz. $8.50 
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 $1.75, Three $4.75, Doz. $17.50 
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. 

Hypericum, Sungold 

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 $2.00, Three $5.75, Doz. $20.00 
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 $1.10, Three $3.00, 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 decoration. 
Htypericums 
Attractive and charming low growing, summer-flowering shrubs. 
Their brilliant flowers are beautifully 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 75c, Three $2.00, Doz. $6.00, 100 $40.00 
This is a most valuable variety because it can also be used as a 
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. ‘ 
Moserianum Each 75c, Three $2.00, Doz. $6.00, 100 $40.00 
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 
(¢ ) 
(U. S. Plant 
Sungol Patent No. 568) 
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 2% to 3 inches in diameter. 
Each $1.50, Three $4.00, Doz. $15.00
