Philadelphus - Nockorange 
NEW FRENCH MOCKORANGES 
CAHlas 
New Giant Mockorange 
This giant-flowered Mockorange, with its pure white blooms as large as 
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 
lack being 3 inches in diameter that are magnificent for cutting. Decidedly 
a ‘‘must’’ for every shrubbery border. 
Each $2.50, Three $7.00, Doz. $25.00 
Gham 
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. 
Each $2.00, Three $5.75, Doz. $20.00 

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. 
Each $2.50, Three $7.00, Doz. $25.00 
CNorma 
New Lace Mockorange 
Handsome lacy edged starlike single flowers are produced on a tall plant 
literally by the thousands. It is an outstanding Mockorange growing 10 
feet tall. A superb plant for background or screen planting as well as a 
fine windbreak. Its unusual freedom of bloom and other fine qualities 
earned for it the Award of Merit of the Royal Horticultural Society of 
Great Britain. 
Each $2.00, Three $5.75, Doz. $20.00 

SALIX - Willow 
French Pussy’ Willow Each $1.00, Three $2.75, Doz. $8.50

SORBUS - Mountain Ash 
Each $4.00, Three $11.00, Doz. $40.00 
This prolificly fruiting variety resembles the well known Mountain Ash 
very closely. It does not grow quite as tall, only 20 to 25 feet, but pro- 
duces twice the amount of flowers and fruit. The branches literally bend 
under the brilliant loads of orange fruits. This small tree can be grown 
in every small garden without damaging nearby flowers. Transplants 
readily. We offer nice young trees about 6 feet tall. 
SPIRAEA 
A very important family of shrubs. Most Spiraeas are sun loving, but 
withstand much abuse in location and soil conditions, and are a source of 
joy and satisfaction. ‘ 
Bumalda crispa Each $1.00, Three $2.75, Doz. $8.50 
The ornamental foliage of this Spirea is crested and covers the plant 
heavily, giving a most attractive effect. The flowers are deep crimson- 
red and occur throughout the summer. A choice, low growing shrub 
for foreground planting or a colorful low hedge which requires no 
pruning. Ultimate height about 24 to 30 inches. 
Japonica coccinea Each $1.00, Three $2.75, Doz. $8.50 
Similar in growth and habit to the Anthony Waterer Spirea. The 
flowers of this new variety are much better and richer crimson-red. 
No one will ever again plant the old Anthony Waterer once they have 
seen this fine improvement. Ultimate height about 30 to 36 inches.

SNOWBANK SPIREA 
Mongolica Each $1.50, Three $4.00, Doz. $15.00 
This is the earliest flowering of the Spireas, in full bloom along with 
the Forsythias. It is a gracefully slender but erect shrub about 4 to 
5 feet high at maturity. The branches are thin and arching, plenti- 
fully besprinkled with pure white flowers like snow lingering from 
winter. It is a dainty and very beautiful shrub with feathery fresh 
green foliage that in autumn turns orange and scarlet. Makes a 
fine informal hedge or attractive in groups or singly in the border 
where its early bloom blends beautifully with Daffodils and early 
blue Scillas. 



VITEX - Chaste Tree 
Macrophyila Each $1.25, Three $3.50, Doz. $12.00 
A graceful shrub with attractive spikes of lovely lavender-blue flowers. 
Blooms profusely from July until fall and grows more than ten feet high 
unless pruned back. It is a most desirable summer-flowering shrub of 
distinctive appearance. Fits in well in the border and is also suitable 
as q lawn plant. Its form, foliage and lilac flowers are very unusual. 
Viburnum - Snowball 
Burkwoodi (New English Hybrid) 
Bushy plants, 3-4 ft. Each $4.00, Three $11.00, Doz. $40.00 
Bare root, 2-3 ft. Each $3.00, Three $ 8.50, Doz. $32.00 
Bare root, 18-24 in. Each $2.00, Three $ 5.75, Doz. $20.00 
Improved Carlesi. Waxy blush-white and delicately fragrant, the 
flowers of this new fragrant Viburnum are produced in early spring 
when the leaves are unfolding. They form round, domed clusters, 
and the gardenia-like fragrance is so sweet as to pervade a large 
area. The plant grows about 6 feet high and 4 to 5 feet in diameter. 
It likes a well drained, sunny place, with plenty of moisture. This 
is a new jewel for the garden—a real aristocrat. For the small 
garden, the one Viburnum above all others that should be grown, 
is Viburnum Burkwoodi. Foliage shiny dark green all summer. 

Carlesi Each $4.00, Three $11.00, Doz. $40.00 
Waxy white, deliciously fragrant flowers in early spring when the leaves 
are unfolding. This fragrant Snowball is a great favorite. It is very 
hardy, easily grown and does well in light shade, as well as in full sun. 
Tomentosum Each $1.50, Three $4.00, Doz. $15.00 
If all the other Viburnums were thrown into the discard, this one would 
justify the family. It is a superb flowering shrub and the spectacle of 
a good Tomentosum in bloom is a sight not ever to be forgotten. In early 
June the horizontal branches become perfect mosaics of wheel-like 
clusters ringed with dazzling white flowers, with spidery sunburst cen- 
ters, resembling a fall of snow. Ultimate height 8 feet. 
Tomentosum plicatum Each $1.50, Three $4.00, Doz. $15.00 
The Japanese Snowball has its pure white flowers arranged in a perfectly 
round ball 3 to 4 inches across. Its clean foliage is quite similar to the 
Tomentosum. Much neater and in every way superior to the common 
Snowball which is usually covered with aphids. It makes a commanding 
specimen and there are few shrubs handsomer than this when well grown. 
Opulus Xanthocarpum (Apricot-Fruited Cranberry Bush) 
Each $2.00, Three $5.75, Doz. $20.00 
This makes a handsome bush 5 to 7 feet high. It is particularly attrac- 
tive from July to December after when its beautiful blossoms are re- 
placed by immense clusters of /-inch apricot-yellow fruits. The clus- 
ters of berries are many and heavy, and create a beautiful show against 
the rich green foliage. The heavily fruited branches may be cut for 
indoor decoration. They combine stunningly with Gladioli, Dahlias, or 
Chrysanthemums. The clusters of fruits retain their beautiful apricot- 
yellow tint for six weeks or more. Easily grown, hardy as an oak. May 
be planted in fall or spring. The plants we ship are about 3 feet tall.
