orsythia 
The name “Golden Bell” has been attached to this family of hand- 
some shrubs, but nobody uses it, and in consequence, the name. of 
William Forsyth, one of the greatest gardeners in history, is perpetu- 
ated in common speech through the Forsythia, which have become 
one of the most popular groups of shrubs grown in gardens. They 
should be given a place where they can grow untrammeled by re- 
stricted space and without pruning. There is nothing so miserable to 
look at as a Forsythia which has been clipped into some formal shape, 
or a line of them compelled to serve as a hedge; and there is nothing 
more beautiful and more expressive of springtime than the early grace 
of a Forsythia allowed to develop naturally according to its own sweet 
will, 

Giraldiana Each $1.50, Three $4.00, Doz. $15.00 
This is the earliest flowering Forsythia, blooming several days before 
Ovata. Its dainty yellow, bell-shaped flowers are a treat so early in the 
spring. It is an uncommon and attractive, slender, spreading shrub 
which reaches an ultimate height of 5 to 7 feet and as much wide. 
Its rounded tapering foliage is dense and tinted a lovely brown which 
makes it outstanding throughout the summer. Does well in shade. An 
exceptionally hardy variety. 
Ovata Each $1.25, Three $3.50, Doz. $12.00 
(Korea.) Compact growing, seldom more than 4 feet high. The 
branches bear charming campanulate bright yellow, scented flowers 
during February and March, even in severe weather. Aside from being 
a fine flowering plant it is also a splendid shrub for shady places. 
FORSYTHIA, SPRING GLORY 
This new Forsythia is without question the loveliest of all the 
Golden Bells. 
When seen in bloom, it is a sight not easily forgotten, its 
large pale yellow flowers completely cover the branches in such 
masses that they literally bend with their weight. 
It would not be far amiss to say that it produces twice the 
number of blossoms of the common Forsythia. Further, the 
pale yellow color is very pleasing and brilliant, infinitely more 
attractive and cheerful than that of the varieties now in general 
use. If you desire a brilliant and cheerful display in your gar- 
den in early spring, plant a few Forsythia Spring Glory. There 
is nothing which will make you forget winter as quickly nor 
announce spring as flamboyantly. 
Each $1.50, Three $4.00, Doz. $15.00
