SILVER BELLS—Halesia carolina. Large shrub adorned with 
small white bells. 
PHILADELPHUS LEMOINEI BELLE ETOILE 
Frosty white Spring bloom in abundance. 
SPRING FLOWERING SHRUBS 
Some of our most colorful subjects are among the spring flowering shrubs: the Weigelas, their arch- 
ing branches strung with bright cheerful bells, the Flowering Almond, its slender branches simply 
crowded with double pink or white bloom, or the Philadelphus and its pearly white bloom and mysti- 
fying perfume. 
Please note: Approximate height of shrubs usually follows description. 
DWARF RED LEAVED MAPLE 
Acer palmatum Bloodleaf. You'll find this a delightful 
shrub for planting near a pool or anywhere in a lawn area. 
Its informal characteristics, thin dark branches and red deep- 
ly cut leaves are charming beyond description. Sun or light 
shade. 4-6 ft. Hardy. 5-gal. containers, $7.50. 
FRAGRANT SWEET SHRUB 
Calycanthus floridus. In the East, when you were young- 
sters, you probably rolled the fragrant chocolate colored 
flowers of this shrub in your handkerchiefs on the way to 
school—for inspirational purposes, we hope. The plant thrives 
here in part shade with plenty of moisture. 4-5 ft. 5-gal. 
containers, $3.00; gal. containers, $1.00. 
CHEERFUL FLOWERING QUINCE 
Brilliant colors and large flowers characterize these charm- 
ing fall, winter and spring blooming shrubs. Through the 
cool fall days buds begin to burst and continue until spring 
when each plant is a huge bouquet of glowing color. Glossy 
foliage. Sun or part shade. 4-6 ft. Balled, 2-3 ft. $3.25; 5- 
gal. containers, $3.00; gal. containers, 90c. 
Chaenomeles lagenaria Alba. Snowy white. 
Chaenomeles lagenaria Rosea Grandiflora. Rosy pink. 
Chaenomeles lagenaria Sanguinea. Blazing scarlet. 
Flowering Shrubs all dressed up in their colorful spring 
suits always bring to mind the lovely ladies we see in church 
at Eastertime. (Yes, we’re always there, too.) 
SILVER BELLS 
Halesia carolina. “Hear the tinkling of the bells—silver 
bells.” Possibly Poe had this tree in mind when he wrote his 
immortal poem—we wouldn’t know, but we do know that the 
sight of one of these large shrubs in spring, its branches hang- 
ing full of small white bells is a real inspiration. 8-10 ft. En- 
joys a little shade and moisture. 5-gal. containers, $3.00; gal. 
containers, $1.00. 
BIRD OF PARADISE TREE 
Poinciana gilliesi. During June and July the tip of each 
ferny foliaged branch is ablaze with brilliant yellow flowers 
with 3-in. flaming scarlet stamens. Open lacy small tree to 
8 or 10 ft. Hardy except in coldest locations. 5-gal. contain- 
ers, $3.50; gal. containers, $1.25. 
SHOWY CREPE MYRTLE 
Most shrubs enjoy blooming in spring and early summer 
but the Crepe Myrtles prefer to wait until midsummer when 
the competition isn’t so keen. From July until October they 
flaunt their huge trusses of pink, red and lavender to make 
the warm summer days more livable. Appreciate plenty of 
moisture during the blooming season. 8-15 ft. Sun. 5-gal. 
containers, $3.25; gal. containers, $1.00. 
Lagerstroemia indica Dwarf Blue. 8-10 ft. 
Lagerstroemia indica Pink. 12-15 ft. 
Lagerstroemia indica Red. 12-15 ft.
