KOLKWITZIA - Beauty Bush 
Amabilis Each $2.00, Three $5.75, Doz. $20.00 
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. 
LABURNUM - Golden Chain - 
Vossi Each $5.00, Three $14.00, Doz. $50.00 
Long-clustered Golden Chain. Small tree-like shrub with green bark 
and foliage like exaggerated clover leaves. Flowers are pure golden 
yellow and formed exactly like those of Wisteria. The hanging clusters 
are 18 to 20 inches long and are borne very profusely in late spring. 
Very beautiful. Usually bloom the first year after planting. 
LAGERSTROEMIA INDICA - Crapemyrtle 
(Not hardy North. Offered for our southern customers only.) 
Crapemyrtle will sometimes remain dormant, not putting out foliage for 
aq year. Keep the plants watered and soil loosened. Severe pruning is 
recommended to keep plants in shape. This’ should be done in February. 
This popular free-flowering shrub is .perhaps one of the loveliest plants of 
the South. Its magnificent flowers throughout the hot summer give to 
gardens a gaiety not possible to duplicate with anything else. All are hardy 
south of Baltimore. 
Wm. Toovey Each $1.50, Three $4.00, Doz. $15.00

flowers. Distinct and attractive foliage help make this a beautiful 
flowering shrub.

MAGNOLIA 
Soulangeana Each $11.00, Three $30.00 
Soulange’s Magnolia, sometimes called the Saucer Magnolia for no 
reason at all, is the rather rare Pink Magnolia of city gardens and 
parks. It makes a small tree with gorgeous shining foliage and in 
early spring produces its enormous, pinkish white flowers, more or less 
purplish outside and slightly fragrant. This Magnolia is the showiest of 
the family for planting in northern gardens, and when in bloom, even 
one plant will dominate the garden—yes, the neighborhood, if it is a 
sizeable specimen. A whole street in Rochester, lined with this variety, 
is a mecca for all enthusiasts every spring. We offer flowering plants 
with a lot of buds, about 3 to 5 feet tall. 
MAHONIA 
Aquifolium Each $1.75, Three $4.75, Doz. $17.50

large, spiny, metallic looking leaves which turn a bronzy red in 
autumn. In spring the clusters of yellow flowers are very attractive.

it ore of the most attractive evergreens of easy cultivation. Does 
perfectly in north exposure in plantings of evergreens. Ultimate height 
abour 2\4 to 3 feet, depending on location where grown.

Canbyi Each 75c, Three $2.00, Doz. $6.00, 100 $40.00 
This small holly-leaved*prostrate little evergreen shrub spreads about 
18 inches. Several planted together make a perfectly charming ground 
cover. It grows equally well in sun or shade and is hardy anywhere. Be- 
cause of its ease of culture and fine habit without any care, it is rapidly 
becoming first choice as a cover for graves as well as in small shady 
places in the garden. As a ground cover, plants should be spaced 6 
inches apart. See page 135 for illustration.
