ALTHEA; HIBISCUS - Rose of Sharon 
Erect growing shrubs of stately and formal shape, particularly well suited 
for screens or specimens in the shrub border. They bloom from July to frost 
and give color when most other shrubs have finished blooming. We offer 
three beautiful varieties of recent introduction, practically unknown, and 
in our estimation the three best. Their ultimate height is about 10 feet. 
Celestial Blue Each $0.90, Three $2.60, Doz. $7.25 
A magnificent, distinct and truly blue Althea. The gorgeous single 
disk-like blue flowers are produced in large amounts. Planted with our 
white variety, Snowdrift, it makes a most handsome color effect in the 
summer border. Plants we send out will bloom this year. 
Snowdrift Each $0.90, Three $2.60, Doz. $7.25 
Giant single, disk-like, pure white flowers fully 4 inches across. The 
flowers open flat and are produced in great numbers from early July 
until frost. The plants we send out will bloom the first year. 
. Rubis Each $0.90, Three $2.60, Doz. $7.25 
Very large, wide-open, deep rose-pink flowers with deeper center. The 
best and most brilliant of the pink shaded Althea. Infinitely better than 
the ordinary double varieties in common use. 
CALLICARPA - Violet Jewel Berry 
Purpurea Each $1.50, Three $4.00, Doz. $15.00 
Gracefully recurving branches, covered in August with thousands of 
closely set, small, pink tinted flowers. These are followed in late 
September by masses of violet-purple berries which last until mid- 
winter. There are few shrubs which give as much pleasure in the garden 
or which are so satisfactory for cutting. Ultimate height about five 
feet. We offer nice plants that will bear fruit at once. 
CALYCANTHUS 
Floridus Each $1.00, Three $2.75, Doz. $8.50 
Few shrubs are so well known as the Carolina Allspice. In fact, over 
a large part of the United States it is called ‘’Shrub” or ‘’Shrub Bush’ 
without any other qualification. In some places it is referred to as the 
“‘Sweet-scented Shrub,’’ the ‘‘Sweet Shrub,’’ or the ‘’Strawberry Shrub.’ 
The handsome, dark red-brown flowers are produced in early spring. 
They are deliciously fragrant, especially when wilted, and schoolboys 
frequently fill their pockets with them, carrying them about until they 
are shriveled husks. The curious large pods which follow are full of 
smooth, brown seeds, like coffee beans, which are elusively aromatic 
when rubbed in the hands and often used as counters in children’s 
games. During the summer, the plant is neat and very handsome, with 
glossy, corrugated foliage. It grows 4 to 5 feet high, and in time will 
spread over an area equally broad. 
CARYOPTERIS (See page 62) 
CERCIS 
Chinensis Each $3.00, Three $8.50, Doz. $32.00 
This charminge brilliantly spring-flowering shrub is a Chinese counter- 
part of the American Native Redbud. It flowers at the same time, but 
the quantity and quality of its flowers far surpass those of our common 
wild form. It is shrublike in growth, and when in bloom, every branch 
and twig is covered with thousands of bright purple blossoms almost 
double the size of the common variety and noticeably darker. You will 
want this in your garden surely. Ultimate height from 6 to 8 feet. 
EUONYMUS 
Alatus compactus (Dwarf Flame) Each $1.50, Three $4.00, Doz. $15.00 
In the Arnold Arboretum in Boston this shrub causes much comment 
each autumn for its unbelieveable 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. 
EUONY MUS EUROPAEUS 
Intermedia (Macrophylla) Each $1.50, Three $4.00, Doz. $15.00 
Also known as Fructo-coccineo. This upright growing small shrub 
(6 to 7 feet high) should be among the first twelve fruiting orna- 
mentals. The rigid branches are a perfect sight when carrying the 
extra large rose-red fruits which age to a brilliant red and are re- 
tained 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. 

Patens 4 
This is one of the finest ond 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.
