Caryopteris Ftardy Blue Spirea 
Blue Mist Each $1.50, Three $4.00, Doz. $15.00 
(Mastacanthus X Mongolica.) This charming low growing shrub is a 
very real contribution to the meager list of summer and fall flower- 
ing shrubs. It is covered from August till autumn frost with num- 
erous clusters of powdery blue, fringed flowers. This shrub grows 
about 18 to 24 inches tall and is perfectly rounded, making a small 
mound about 2 feet in diameter. The foliage is lanceolate and 
slightly toothed and silvery green in color. A truly worth-while 
plant for the flower border as well as for in front of the shrub- 
bery border. Perfectly hardy and replaces the tender Mastacanthus 
now in use.

brilliant flowers and shiny foliage place them among e; 
the No. 1 plants for the spring garden. They may be < 
allowed to grow into specimen plants or trimmed into 
hedges. Ultimate height about 5 to 6 feet. We offer 
here a collection of new hybrids not yet known in this 
country. These varieties are outstanding. The size of 
their blooms as well as the quantity in which they are 
produced is almost unbelieveable. 
Aurea Each $1.25, Three $3.50, Doz. $12.00 
Many shrubs flower in May and June, but few can surpass the beauty of 
this lovely dwarf Quince. It is completely covered with rose suffused salmon- 
tinted yellow flowers from March to May. It is particularly fine for dwarf 
hedges in its natura! form, or it can be clipped if a formal hedge is desired. 
Growing less than 3 feet high, it is no problem to keep it in form. It makes 
a perfect picture in front of taller shrubs and looks well in the flower border 
along with Tulips and other spring flowers.

excellent for cutting, the flowers lasting a long time 
and in addition, it’s almost thornless. A beautiful shrub 
to grow with white Tulips. A ‘‘must’’ for your garden. 
We offer strong, 3- to 4-foot plants, ready to bloom.

buff-coral blooms cover fhe slender branches through 
what seems two distinct blooming seasons in spring. 
This prolonged flowerina makes Coral Sea a very valu- 
able variety. It not only is delightful in the garden but 
you will value it highly as a cut flower, its color blend- 
ing beautifully with other spring flowers. You will 
surely want this. We offer 3- to 4-foot plants, ready 
to bloom 
Juliet Each $4.00, Three $11.00, Doz. $40.00 
Soft salmon-pink blooms in great profusion cover the

ful outdoors and superb for cutting. A variety we feel 
sure will be planted in every garden as soon as it be- 
comes known and plants are available. Combines beau- 
tifully with lavender and yellow Tulips, or other spring 
flowers. We offer 3- to 4-foot plants that will flower
