EUONYMUS 
Alatus compactus (Dwarf Flame Euonymus) 
Each $1.50, Three $4.00, Doz. $15.00 
In the Arnold Arboretum in Boston this shrub causes much comment 
each autumn for its unbelievable brilliance of foliage. Its compact 
growth, easy culture, and slow growth make it one of the outstanding 
shrubs for hedges as well as individual specimens in the garden. Its 
ultimate height is six feet. Be sure to plant one or more of them in 
your garden for a brilliant autumn foliage display. Does well in shade. 
Intermedia (Macrophylla) Each $2.00, Three $5.75, Doz. $20.00 
Also known as Fructo-coccineo. This upright growing small shrub (6 to 
7 feet high) should be among the f.rst twelve fruiting ornamentals. The 
rigid branches are a perfect sight when carrying the extra large rose-red 
fruits which age to a brilliant red and are retained long after the leaves 
have dropped. Cut sprays placed in water will last six weeks or more. 
The tree is easily grown anywhere and free from ‘‘bugs’’ and troubles. 
Excellent for the small garden.

This is one of the finest and easiest grown evergreen shrubs. Compact 
and shapely, and ultimately about six feet tall. Its foliage is rich green, 
somewhat like that of Euonymus Vegetus and remains on the plant 
practically throughout the entire winter and is quickly replaced by 
shiny new foliage in spring. It is a plant par excellence for growing 
in shady places, under tall trees or in sunless corners. It makes a fine 
hedge and can be pruned any way to suit. Blends beautifully with 
evergreens, grows equally well on acid or alkaline soils and is iron-clad 
hardy. In autumn numerous orange berries add to its charm. Trans- 
plants easily either in fall or spring. Does excellently in shade.

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. 
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. 
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. 
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 
es Magellanica and freezes down to ground level as does the Butterfly 
ush. 
HALESIA 
Tetraptera 
Each $2.00, Three $5.75, Doz. $20.00 
The Silver Bell or Snowdrop Tree, also sometimes called the Lily-of-the- 
Valiey Tree, is a most attractive round-Feaded, bushy little tree with 
horizontal branches and rather ordinary foliage. Its beauty consists in 
the millions of small white bells which dangle in bewildering profusion 
from the lower side of the branchlets. Certainly no flowering tree is 
handsomer and daintier than the Silver Bell when in full bloom, and it is 
always an object of great interest and ‘curiosity.

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 imnossible, 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 equa'ly happy on 
alkaline or acid soil, and last but not least, it is as hardy as an oak.

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. 
ata Each $4.09, Three $11.00, Doz. $40.00 
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 a 
winter decorations. re. charming fete 
KERRIA 
Japonica flora plena

p ap Each $1.25, Three $3.50, Doz. $12.00 
ouble 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.
