HALESIA 
Tetraptera 
Each $1.25, Three $3.50, Doz. $12.00 
The Silver Bell or Snowdrop Tree, also sometimes called the Lily-of-the- 
Valiey 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 great interest and curiosity. 
ILEX - Holly 
“te 
Glabra 
Serrata (Sieboldi) 
Convexa (Crenata bullata) 
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 evergreens. 
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. 
12-15 in., with ball of earth Each $1.50, Three $4.00, Doz. $15.00 
15-18 in., with ball of earth Each $3.00, Three $8.50, Doz. $30.00 
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. 
Each $3.00, Three $8.50, Doz. $30.00 
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 decorations. 
KOLKWITZIA - Beauty Bush 
Amabilis 
Each $1.50, Three $4.00, Doz. $15.00 
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 
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. 
Each $6.00 
Plants about 3 feet high, well branched 
Plants about 5 feet high, well branched Each $9.00 
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 covered 
with a mass of fragrant pure white starlike flowers, which are 3 in- 
ches across. The numerous long waxy white petals are held together in 
a lovely starlike shape. A beautiful thing for a small lawn or any 
small garden. 
Plants about 18 to 24 inches tall, well branched Each $6.00

LABURNUM - Golden Chain 
Each $4.50, Three $12.75, Doz. $45.00 
Long-clustered Golden Chain. Small tree-like shrub with green bark 
and foliage like exaggerated clover leaves. Flowers are pure golden 
yellow and formed exactly like those of Wisteria. The hanging clusters 
are 18 to 20 inches long and are borne very profusely in late spring. 
Very beautiful. Usually bloom the first year after planting. 
POTENTILLA FRUTICOSA 
Gold Drop 
A charming small shrub of such compact growth as to resemble a 
small irregularly shaped mound about 2 to 2% 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. \t 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.

Prunus 
FLOWERING ALMOND 
Each $1.25, Three $3.50, Doz. $12.00 
(Flowering Almond.) The small, very double, white rosettes grow in 
great quantities along the stem in late April and early May. Lovely 
when in bloom. Ultimate height about 4 to 5 feet. 
Each $1.25, Three $3.50, Doz. $12.00 
Produces very double, rose colored flowers in great profusion in spring. 
One of the most charming old-fashioned early flowering shrubs, and 
is still unsurpassed in beauty in its season. Our plants are grown on 
their own roots, thus insuring extra vigor and more lasting satisfaction 
as well as no ‘’wild suckers.’’ 

FLOWERING PLUMS 
Pissardi rosea (Purple-Leaved Plum “Special Selection”) 
Each $3.00, Three $8.50, Doz. $30.00 
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 
or 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. 
Each $3.00, Three $8.50, Doz. $30.00 
This small tree grows about -10 feet tall, but can be pruned to small 
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 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. 
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 
handsome and should not be left out of any garden. We offer plants 
growing on their own roots because they are so much more satisfactory. 
Ultimate height about 8 feet.
