EUONYMUS 
Alatus compactus (Dwarf Flame Euonymus) 
Each $2.00, Three $5.75, Doz. $20.00 
In the Arnold Arboretum in Boston this shrub causes much comment 
each autumn for its unbelievable brilliance of foliage. Its compact 
growth, easy culture, and slow growth make it one of the outstanding 
shrubs for hedges as well as individual specimens in the garden. Its 
ultimate height is six feet. Be sure to plant one or more of them in 
your garden for a brilliant autumn. foliage display. Does well in shade. 
Intermedia (Macrophylla) Each $1.50, Three $4.00, Doz. $15.00 
Also known as Fruco-coccineo. This upright growing small shrub (6 to 
7 feet high) should be among the first twelve fruiting ornamentals. The 
rigid branches are a perfect sight when carrying the extra large rose-red 
fruits which age to a brilliant red and are retained long after the leaves 
have dropped. Cut sprays placed in water will last six weeks or more. 
The tree is easily grown anywhere and free from ‘’bugs’’ and troubles. 
Excellent for the small garden.

Bushy plants, 18-24 inches 150 4.00 15.00 100.00 
This is one of the finest and easiest grown evergreen shrubs. Compact 
and shapely, and ultimately about six feet tall. Its foliage is rich green, 
somewhat like that of Euonymus Vegetus and remains on the plant 
practically throughout the entire winter and is quickly replaced by 
shiny new foliage. In spring it is a plant par excellence for growing 
in shady places, under tall trees or in sunless corners. It makes a fine 
hedge and can be pruned any way to suit. Blends beautifully with 
evergreens, grows equally well on acid or alkaline soils and is iron-clad 
hardy. In autumn numerous orange berries add to its charm. Trans- 
plants easily either in fall or spring. Does excellently in shade.

Callicarpa Purpurea (See page 148) 
FUCHSIA 
Most tender shrubs used for bedding or cool greenhouse decoration in 
the temperate zone. They are charming subjects for the shady garden, 
available in many colors and forms. 
Culture. Ordinary good loam, well drained. They do not like heavy, 
wet clay soils. Do well in shady places where it is difficult to flower other 
plants. Magellanica is a hardy variety, wintering over outdoors if the plants 
are protected with straw during the winter. 
Magellanica Each $0.60, Three $1.50, Doz. $5.00 
This most interesting shrub came to us from the New York Botanical 
Garden, where it has proven entirely hardy. It is in bloom all summer 
long until stopped by frost. The ruby-red pendent flowers are pro- 
duced by the hundreds, flowering just as freely in full sun as in light 
shade. A most interesting plant for the flower border or rock garden, 
where it fits in perfectly, blooming all summer. Like all Fuchsias, they 
are especially adapted for shady locations. We advise protection any- 
where north of Philadelphia. 
Magellanica alba Each $0.60, Three $1.50, Doz. $5.00 
Has the same habit of growth as Magellanica but the pendent flowers 
are blush-white. A charming variety which also is somewhat hardier. 
Riccartoni Each $0.60, Three $1.50, Doz. $5.00 
Lovely pendent crimson-red and purple flowers. A hybrid of unknown 
origin. It is used as a boundary hedge in many places in the south 
and west of England and Ireland where moisture, fog, and a mild cool 
climate bring it to perfection. Here in Ohio it requires shade, the same 
Eo Meee arse and freezes down to ground level as does the Butterfly 
ush. 
HALESIA 
Tetraptera Each $1.25, Three $3.50, Doz. $12.00 
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 areat interest and curiosity.
