Inkberry—Ilex Glabra Used as a Hedge 
KOLKWITZIA - Beauty Bush 
Amabilis Each $1.25, Three $3.50, Doz. $12.00 
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. 
MAGNOLIA 
Soulangeana Each $9.00 
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) 
The rarest of the hardy Magnolias. It grows to a small spreading 
tree; however, this requires years. Early in spring the plant is cov- 
ered with a mass of fragrant, pure white, starlike flowers, which are 
three 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. 
Each $9.00 


POTENTILLA FRUTICOSA 
Snowflake 
A graceful, small, 3-foot high shrub, upright in growth, yet compact. 
Foliage is dense and fernlike in effect. From early June until October 
the plants are studded with silvery white, chalice-like blooms. A splen- 
did low-growing and graceful shrub for foreground planting. Fits in 
perfectly with perennial plants in the hardy border. Prefers a sunny 
location. Is hardy in below zero temperatures. 
Each $1.00. Three $2.75, Doz. $8.50 
Gold Drop 
A charming small shrub of such compact growth as to resemble a 
small irregular shaped mound about 2 to 214 feet high. It is closely 
and densely covered with small, fernlike leaves and studded with 
intensely 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 
best in full sun and is hardy in below zero temperatures. The original 
plant we selected from the common Potentilla Fruticosa. It is far 
superior both in flowering qualities, habit and general appearance. 
We know of no shrubs which flower so consistently and remain so cheer- 
fully brilliant throughout the entire summer and fall. Spaced 12 inches 
apart in a single row it will make one of the most charming informal 
hedges that can be imagined. 
Each $2.00, Three $5.75, Doz. $20.00

experts claim this to be the finest species from that immense country. 
Its 5- to 8-foot, slender branches are covered from end to end with 
racemes of l-inch, fragrant, creamy flowers. It is one of the showiest of 
June-flowering shrubs. It has fine, compact habit of growth and is per- 
fectly suited for the shrub border. 
Atlas 
New Giant Mockorange

those of Dogwoods, will be sensational in your garden and we predict will 
replace many of the more common and indifferent shrubs. This magnificent 
hybrid came to us a few years ago from France. It has been carefully 
tested and not found wanting. Hardy, of easy culture, grows most any- 
where, good upright habit, and covered with immense blooms which slightly

Belle Etoile 
(Beautiful Star) 
New Fragrant Star Mockorange 
We, as well as others who have seen and smelled the charming flowers 
of this Mockorange, consider this one of the finest and choicest. It is an 
Origination of that great Frenchman, Lemoine. The starlike flowers open 
in Lily-like fashion, the centers showing a decided light purple flush. This 
extra touch of color, plus its intense and delightful fragrance which can 
be detected over the entire garden, sets this shrub aside as one in a class 
by itself. Its growth is orderly, nice and bushy, and grows about 5 feet tall 
and 4 feet in diameter. It is One of our last importations from France, and 
a few years ago received the Award of Merit from the Royal Horticultural 
Society of Great Britain. Dig up an old, unsightly bush and replace’ it with 
this beautiful, sweetly smelling Mockorange.

to point out to your friends. Ultimate height 6 to 8 feet. 
MOCKORANGES 

[67] 
Gomi. 
New Alabaster-White Mockorange 
The long arching branches carry a wealth of large single alabaster-white 
flowers. So heavily loaded with flowers are the slender branches as to 
assume the appearance of sheaves of bloom. They are of such purity of 
whiteness cs to make all other Mockoranges seem gray by comparison. 
The fragrance is delightful, more delicate, yet more penetrating than that 
of Jasmine. Its flowers are so intensely white, one constantly marvels at its 
ethereal effect. A ‘‘must’’ in every garden. Ultimate height about 6 feet.
