Rosedale's Spring Flowering Shrubs 
SHRUBS THAT LOSE THEIR LEAVES IN WINTER 
The shrubs included in this group fill a definite requirement in 
home planting. Not only are they hardy enough for planting around 
summer homes even in the mountains but also, by losing their leaves in 
winter, allow circulation of air around the house foundation and relieve 
Flowering Quince (Cydonia) 
This thickly branched shrub almost bursts into flame each spring 
when it becomes covered as if by magic with its gayly colored single 
rose-like flowers. The glossy dark green leaves that follow have the 
same quality as many of the better evergreen shrubs. 
Salmon Pink. A lovely shade of salmon rose. Gal. 70c, 5-gal. $2.95. 
Scarlet. Very showy orange-vermilion. Gal. 75c¢, 5-gal. $3.50. 
Crepe Myrtle 
The showiest of all summer-fiowering shrubs, Crepe Myrtle makes 
a large specimen shrub or a small tree. One need never bother about 
care for these plants once they are established. The flowers are very 
delicate and possess a crepe-like texture in the five graceful petals. 
Flowers are grouped in large clusters at the ends of the branches, 
thereby giving a great show. Full sun, blooms during the heat of sum- 
mer. Makes a fine lawn specimen or an efficient and pleasingly colorful 
screen plant where undesirable views need to be excluded. 
Watermelon red. Very brightly colored. A rich bright pleasing red

dampness sometimes found where evergreen shrubs are close to the 
walls. They are all showy plants, many offering flowers suitable for 
cutting and a great many bloom before the leaves appear, making their 
blooms even more prominent. We offer only the best of the group in 
Rosedale’s Selected list. 
Magnolia 
Maanolia soulangeana. The lovely large flowered lily-like Magnolia 
from China, whose beautiful flowers are a sight in eariy spring. Makes 
a large s:ow growing shrub bearing quantities of large white flowers 
with lavender-pink shadings on practically every stem. Leaves appear 
shortly before the flowers are gone and the summer dress is a lovely 
light green. Each, 5-gal. $8.50. 
Mock Orange 
Philadelphus Virginal. In every way this is the best of the Philadelphus 
for the lovely large double pure white flowers in spring are delightfully 
sweet scented. It does not grow rank and weedy, in fact, it is the es- 
sence of refinement and the light green foliage is an asset to any gar- 
den. Extremely free-flowering and well deserving its popularity. Gal. 
95c, 5-gal. $3.70. 
Double Flowering Pomegranate 
Punica Chico. This is so different from the common dwarf flowering 
Pomegranates that it is difficult to make any comparison. The flowers 
are like fully double bright red carnations—the same size and freely 
produced during hot summer. A dwarf shrub 1 to 2 feet high, will 
offer many possibilities in foundation plantings and in the garden. 
Gal. 75c, 5-gal. $3.95.
