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 
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. 
Flowering Quince (Cydonia) 
Huge Bouquets—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. One branch makes a wonder- 
ful flower arrangement for your table. The glossy dark green leaves 
that follow have the samé quality as many of the better evergreen 
shrubs. 
Salmon Pink. A lovely shade of salmon rose. Gal. 70c, 5-gal. $2.85. 
Scarlet. Very showy orange-vermilion. Gal. 70c, 5-gal $2.85. 
Crepe Myrtle 
The showiest of all summer-flowering 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 flowrs 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.
