(Mastacanthus X Mongolica.) This charming low growing shrub is a 
very real contribution to the meager list of summer and fall flower- 
ing shrubs. It is covered from August till autumn frost with numer- 
ous clusters of powdery blue, fringed flowers. This shrub grows about 
18 to 24 inches tall and is perfectly rounded, making a small mound 
about 2 feet in diameter. The foliage is lanceolate and _ slightly 
toothed and silvery green in color. A truly worth-while plant for the 
flower border as well as for in front of the shrubbery border. 
Perfectly hardy and replaces the tender Mastacanthus now in use.

CYDONIA (Chaenomeles) 
One of the first shrubs to bloom in spring. Their 
brilliant flowers and shiny foliage place them among 
the No. 1 plants for the spring garden. They may be £ 
allowed to grow into specimen plants or trimmed into 
hedges. Ultimate height about 5 to 6 feet. We offer 
here a collection of new hybrids not yet known in this 
country. These varieties are outstanding. The size of 
their blooms as well as the quantity in which they are 
produced is almost unbelievable. 
Aurea Each $1.00, Three $2.75, Doz. $10.00 
Many shrubs flower in May and June, but few can surpass the beauty of 
this lovely dwarf Quince. It is completely covered with rose suffused salmon- 
tinted yellow flowers from March to May. It is particularly fine for dwarf 
hedges in its natural form, or it can be clipped if a formal hedge is desired. 
Growing less than 3 feet high, it is no problem to keep it in form. It makes 
a perfect picture in front of taller shrubs and looks well’in the flower border 
along with Tulips and other spring flowers. 
Kermesina Semi-Plena Each $2.00, Three $5.75, Doz. $20.00 
The semi-double flowers are rose-pink and produced in abundant quantities 
early in spring. A very attractive early-flowering double Quince only found 
in a few choice gardens. 
Nivalis Each $1.00, Three $2.75, Doz. $1000 
This is the best pure white Quince. The sparkling 
white flowers contrast well with the dark green fo- 
iage. A very handsme flower for cutting as well as 
a fine early flowering shrub for the border. 
3 New Hybrid Cydonias 
The beautiful hybrid Cydonias offered under this 
heading are great improvements and, as soon as they 
become more plentiful and better known, will be uni- 
versally grown. Our stock is decidedly limited. We, 
therefore, urge you to send for yours at once and be 
one of the first to have them in your own garden. 
Stanford Red Each $3.00, Three $8.50, Doz. $30.00 
This new hybrid we believe to be the finest red 
hardy Quince in cultivation. The flowers are ex- 
traordinarily large, open Geranium-red and deepen 
to an intense blood-red of great strength and carry- 
ing power. It is excellent for cutting, the flowers 
lasting a long time and in addition, it’s almost 
thornless. A beautiful shrub to grow with white 
Tulips. A “must” for your garden. We offer strong 
3- to 4-foot plants ready to bloom. 
Coral Sea Each $3.00, Three $8.50, Doz. $30.00 
One of the loveliest spring flowering shrubs. The 
soft buff-coral blooms cover the slender branches 
through what seems two: distinct blooming seasons 
in spring. This prolonged flowering makes Coral 
Sea a very valuable variety. It not only is de- 
lightful in the garden but you will value it highly 
as a cut flower, its color blending beautifully with 
other spring flowers. You will surely want this. We 
offer 3- to 4-foot plants ready to bloom. 
Juliet Each $3.00, Three $8.50, Doz. $30.00 
Soft salmon-pink blooms in great profusion cover 
the long strong stems of this so recent introduction. 
Cheerful outdoors and superb for cutting. A variety 
we feel sure will be planted in every garden as soon 
as it becomes known and plants are available. 
Combines beautifully with lavender and yellow Tu- 
lips or other spring flowers. We offer 3- to 4-foot 
plants that will flower this year.
