CAROLINA LAUREL CHERRY 
Prunus caroliniana. Tree, shrub or hedge? In fact it may 
serve any of these useful purposes. Grown in standard form 
it will make a dense round-headed tree to 12 or 15 feet. Al- 
lowed to develop in a natural manner it grows into a dark 
foliaged shrub of sizable proportions. Pruned in pyramid 
shape it is often used in place of Eugenia in colder areas, to 
break corners of buildings or to frame large windows. May 
also be pruned in formal hedge shape. Sun. Hardy. Balled, 
8-9 ft., $12.50; 7-8 ft., $10.50; 6-7 ft. $8.00; 5-6 ft., $5.75; 
5-gal. containers, $2.75; gal. containers, 75c. 
ENGLISH LAUREL 
Prunus laurocerasus. For shaded or 
against walls or in sunny areas in the open ground this va- 
riety displays remarkable character. Grows about as tall as 
wide and with a little help from the pruning shears will be 
a veritable thicket of large dark green foliage. Properly 
planted it is never affected by either heat or cold. No shrub 
planting should be without it. 6-10 ft. Balled, 2-3 ft., $4.50; 
5-gal. containers, $3.00; gal. containers, 90c. 
semi-shaded spots 
CATALINA CHERRY 
Prunus lyoni. During all but the coldest years there isn’t 
a time that this shrub is not throwing out new growth. The 
contrast of the new polished foliage against the dark older 
growth is quite pronounced. A most satisfactory shrub for 
screening purposes as it grows rapidly, covers well and is 
entirely hardy. No finer shrub for pruning in hedge form. 
Sun or part shade.

6-12 ft. depending on amount of trim- 

OSMANTHUS FRAGRANS. Outstanding perfume, 
polished foliage. See page 17. 
BRILLIANT WINTER BERRIES 
If it’s berries you want plant Pyracanthas. From October 
to April your garden will never know a dull moment. Easily 
grown shrubs that are attractively used as hedges, barriers or 
for grouping against fences and buildings. A planting of 
dwarf, red berried Cotoneaster at their base will increase 
their effectiveness. The claim is made, for some varieties of 
Pyracanthas, that birds will not eat their berries. From our 
observations this is not so. The location of the plants deter- 
mines whether the birds (or we) get the berries. But please 
don’t ask us where these locations are. Frankly we haven't 
been able to figure out. Hardy. Sun. 6-8 ft. 
Pyracantha crenato-serrata Graber. This variety is diffi- 
cult to distinguish from the foregoing variety as to foliage or 
berries, but it does grow more rapidly. 5-gal. containers, 
$3.00; gal. containers, $1.00. 
Pyracantha koidzumi (formosana). We don’t know how we 
managed to get along so many years without this marvelous 
shrub. Smali branches are weighted down with big dark red 
berries and larger branches are heavily circled with great 
clusters. 5-gal. containers, $3.00; gal. containers, $1.00. 
DWARF PYRACANTHA 
Pyracantha crenato-serrata Prostrate. Growing as it does 
much lower than other kinds of Pyracantha this variety is 
excellent for planting on banks, along drives or low porches 
or in any sunny spot where a low spreading shrub is desira- 
ble. Foliage is dense and lustrous, flowers white and profuse, 
berries orange-red. Drought resistant: Grows to about 2-3 
feet in height and twice as broad. The plant is sometimes 
attacked by the Pear blight, causing branch tips to die. If 
this should occur, prune back the infested tips to a point 
6 inches below the area affected. Hardy. 5-gal. containers, 
$3.00; gal. containers, $1.00.
