New and Unusual Plants 
ARDEN lovers and connoiseurs. Here is offered for the first time 
in any catalog a collection of unusual plants to add genuine interest 
to your garden. Color and form have too often been overlooked in the 
design and planting of home grounds. Any garden will benefit by the 
addition of one or more of these distinctive and desirable plants. 
On the following pages will be found other quality plants, some 
not frequently seen in general catalogs. All are the finest that can be 
grown. 
Hansen's Purple-Leaved Plum 
(Prunus cistena) 
A fine purple-leaved shrub with some of the brightest color of the 
whole group of colored plants. In the spring the plant has myrads of 
single pink flowers followed by oval purple leaves that retain the bright 
color throughout the season. This was originated in the Dakotas. It is 
proved hardy and adaptable in all parts of the country. An excellent 
plant to add color to your shrub border. 
Nice 2-3 ft. plants $1.35 each, 2 for $2.50 (delivered) 
Thunder Cloud 
An outstanding purple-leaved plum. Foliage is much deeper and 
does not fade during the summer. The plant is a strong upright grower 
and reaches the size of a small tree. By far the darkest and handsomest 
of the larger purple-leaved foliage plants. Use with Hansens purple- 
leaved plum for pleasing accent in high and low plants. Break up the 
monotony of a green skyline with some of these new and different 
Thunderclouds. There are small red flowers before the maroon foliage 
appears. 
Fine 3-4 ft. plants $1.65 each, 2 for $2.95 (delivered) 
Globe Locust 
A fine globe-shaped tree that needs no trimming. Graceful locust 
foliage and a round habit of growth makes this ideal for use around 
buildings, along drives, in parks, in formal gardens and any place where 
a small globe-shaped tree would be desirable. Far superior and much 
more graceful than the Umbrella Catalpa. Hardy and adaptable. These 
plants are grafted on a six foot stem and will make a fine effect the 
first season. 
Trees with 6 foot stems, $3.95 each, 2 for $7.50 (express collect) 
(globes)
