FLOWERING ALMONDS, PLUMS AND PEACHES 
Among the Flowering Prunes are several handsome shrubs called vari- 
ously: Flowering Plums, Flowering Cherries, Flowering Almonds and Flowering 
Peaches. They are so well known that they do not need any introduction. 
They are very hardy. 
FLOWERING PEACHES 
The general habit of all is much the same, the main difference being 
in color of flowers and time of blooming. They should be very severely 
pruned every year as soon as they have finished blooming and before 
growth starts. Cutting them for decoration accomplishes the same pur- 
pose and is highly beneficial but should be completed as soon as flowers 
are gone. AIl growth of the previous season should be cut back to about 
8 inches. Don’t touch them in the fall as that is simply cutting off 
potential flowers 
Spring planting only is recommended except in localities where tem- 
peratures do not go below 10 degrees of frost. 
Cardinal Each $1.50, Three $4.00, Doz. $15.00 
Profusely laden with richly colored madder-rose or Tyrian rose double 
blooms which have a rich crimson sheen. A brilliant and beautiful 
effect is created. A thrill you will long remember. A rare plant for 
your garden. 
Iceberg Each $1.50, Three $4.00, Doz. $15.00 
A magnificent pure double white Peach. Spotlessly white flowers in 
great quantities give an effect not often seen in flowers. A perfect 
beauty. 
Pink Charming Each $1.50, Three $4.00, Doz. $15.00 
Delightful and charming is what visitors tell us of this variety.

this small tree look like a huge bouquet. 
Dwarf Mandarin Each $1.50, Three $4.00, Doz. $15.00 
This charming miniature Peach tree grows not over 4 feet high. It 
makes a compact small head about two feet in diameter of short, 
stubby branches which are heavily loaded with double crimson flow- 
ers, turning the plant at blooming time into a small ball of fire. 
Its foliage throughout the summer is lovely and dark green. As a 
result ‘‘Dwarf Mandarin’ is a perfect little standard tree for use in 
the center of a small bed or garden square, as well as an extra point 
of interest in the flower border.

WEEPING PEACHES 
Like other weeping trees of this nature, these are top-grafted on erect 
stems at about 4 or 5 feet. The branches droop sharply, giving them a 
very artistic appearance. 
Double Red Weeping Each $2.00, Three $5.75, Doz. $20.00 
Color is very rich and entirely distinct from the erect reds. 
Double White Weeping Each $2.00, Three $5.75, Doz. $20.00 
Flowers are exactly like those of the tea-plant, but larger and moderately 
double, showing the yellow stamens. The long sprays of handsome flow- 
ers give a delightful effect. 
DOUBLE PINK PENDULANT PEACH 
Queen of Hearts Each $2.00, Three $5.75, Doz. $20.00 
This beautiful small tree does not droop fully as much as the red or 
the white varieties, but has more of a spreading pendulant habit which 
gives a superbly artistic effect. The blooms are fully double and a 
clean, sparkling, pure pink closely set on twisting, arching branches, 
creating a picture that you will long remember. This little tree even 
when not in bloom is most pleasing to look at. We are sure you will 
highly enjoy this in a choice spot in your garden, or perhaps as an 
isolated specimen on the lawn. 
FLOWERING PLUMS 
Pissardi rosea (Purple-Leaved Plum “Special Selection’’) 
Each $2.00, Three $5.50, Doz. $20.00 
The deep bronzy purple foliage of this small tree is its great attraction; 
however, the thousands of pink, single flowers in spring are not to be 
overlooked. Most ‘‘purple’’ leaved trees lose much of their color through- 
out the summer, but this is not the case with this special selection of 
ours recently imported from England. Its foliage is of the deepest shade 
of purplish red imaginable, almost black. It makes a fine contrast plant 
and helps give variety and color in the garden, easily grown and ideal 
for the small yard or a special point of interest. Ultimate height about 
10 feet. Occasional pruning will keep it in shape desired. 
Pissardi Veitchi Each $2.00, Three $5.50, Doz. $20.00 
This small tree grows about 10 feet tall, but can be pruned to smaller 
size if desired. In early spring it is covered with thousands of large 
clusters of double pink blossoms not unlike those of the double flow- 
ering cherry or peach. It is very hardy and should be used in place of 
flowering peaches or cherries exclusively in those localities where the 
latter are not hardy. In addition to the delightful display of double 
pink flowers you will enjoy the light bronze-colored foliage which in 
late summer turns green. Here is a small tree equally charming for the 
small garden or as a specimen on a large lawn. 
Triloba Each $1.50, Three $4.00, Doz. $15.00 
(Flowering Plum.) The flowering Plum blooms early in May before the 
leaves come out. The delightful double, quilled, bright pink flowers 
stud every twig and branchlet so heavily no wood is visible Very hand- 
some and should not be left out of any garden. Here again we offer 
z plants growing on their own roots because they are so much more satis- 
Double Flowering Peaches factory. Ultimate height about 8 feet.
