Detail of Ilex Convexa 
FUCHSIA 
Most tender shrubs used for bedding or cool greenhouse decoration in 
the temperate zone. They are charming subjects for the shady garden, 
available in many colors and forms. 
Culture. Ordinary good loam, well drained. They do not like heavy, 
wet clay soils. Do well in shady places where it is difficult to flower other 
plants. Magellanica is a hardy variety, wintering over outdoors if the plants 
are protected with straw during the winter. 
Magellanica Each $0.60, Three $1.50, Doz. $5.00 
This most interesting shrub came to us from the New York Botanical 
Garden, where it has proven entirely hardy. It is in bloom all summer 
long until stopped by frost. The ruby-red pendent flowers are pro- 
duced by the hundreds, flowering just as freely in full sun as in light 
shade. A most interesting plant for the flower border or rock garden, 
where it fits in perfectly, blooming all summer. Like all Fuchsias, they 
are especially adapted for shady locations. We advise protection any- 
where north of Philadelphia. 
Magellanica alba Each $0.60, Three $1.50, Doz. $5.00 
Has the same habit of growth as Magellanica but the pendent flowers 
are blush-white. A charming variety which also is somewhat hardier. 
Riccartoni Each $0.60, Three $1.50, Doz. $5.00 
Lovely pendent crimson-red and purple flowers. A hybrid of unknown 
origin. It is used as a boundary hedge in many places in the south 
and west of England and Ireland where moisture, fog, and a mild cool 
climate bring it to perfection. Here in Ohio it requires shade, the same 
“6 thea A and freezes down to ground level as does the Butterfly 
ush. 
KERRIA 
Japonica flora plena Each $1.25, Three $3.50, Doz. $12.00 
Double Kerria is sometimes called the Globe Flower because the choice 
double golden flowers have a ball-like shape not unlike the button 
chrysanthemums. The plant grows vigorously and attains a maximum 
height of 4 to 5 feet. It is bushy in habit with many bright green 
stems, attractive all winter. Give it a sunny location in front of the 
border and its golden yellow blooms all summer will be a pleasure. 
The flowers last well in water and are excellent for cutting. 
Kolkwitzia Amabilis 



Fuchsia Magellanica Alba 
ILEX - Holly 
Convexa (Crenata bullata) 
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 
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. 
Glabra 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. 
Serrata (Sieboldi) 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.
