very closely. It does not grow quite as tall, only 20 to 25 feet, but pro-

under the brilliant loads of orange fruits. This small tree can be grown 
in every small garden without damaging nearby flowers. Transplants 
readily. We offer nice young trees about 6 feet tall.

withstand much abuse in location and soil conditions, and are a source of 
joy and satisfaction. 
Bumalda crispa Each $1.00, Three $2.75, Doz. $8.50 
The ornamental foliage of this Spirea is crested and covers the plant 
heavily, giving a most attractive effect. The flowers are deep crimson-

pruning. Ultimate height about 24 to 30 inches.

seen this fine improvement. Ultimate height about 30 to 36 inches. 
SNOWBANK SPIREA 
Mongolica Each $1.50, Three $4.00, Doz. $15.00 
This is the earliest flowering of the Spireas, in full bloom along with 
the Forsythias. It is a gracefully slender but erect shrub about 4 to 
5 feet high at maturity. The branches are thin and arching, plenti- 
fully besprinkled with pure white flowers like snow lingering from 
winter. It is a dainty and very beautiful shrub with feathery fresh 
green foliage that in autumn turns orange and scarlet. Makes a 
fine informal hedge or attractive in groups or singly in the border 
slip i early bloom blends beautifully with Daffodils and early 
ue Scillas, 

TAMARIX - Tamarisk 
Tamarix should be cut back to 6 or 8 inches when transplanted. If this 
is not done, success is doubtful. 
Summer Glow Each $2.00, Three $5.75, Doz. $20.00 
There is a lacy loveliness and charm about this lovely shrub not found 
in any others. The beautiful silvery blue-green foliage is like a veil. A 
sharp and delightful contrast is made by the airy wine-red flower spikes 
which appear on top of the delightful foliage all summer long. The 
flowers and foliage are lovely for cutting. This shrub is also excellent 
for seashore or lakeshore gardens, being very tolerant to salt air and 
wind. The plants we send out will bloom the first year. Ultimate height 
about 8 feet. Can be pruned and kept to 5 or 6 feet if desired.

blooms profusely from July until fall and grows more than ten feet high

distinctive appearance. Fits in well in the border and is also suitable 
as a lawn plant. Its form, foliage and lilac flowers are very unusual. 
HYBRID HUNGARIAN LILAC 
Henri Lutece Each $3.00, Three $8.50, Doz. $32.00 
A hybrid between S. villosa and S. Josikea, with a round, shapely bush 
about midway in size between the two parents. The blooms are enor- 
mous panicles, plumelike in appearance, held erect and of beautiful 
light violet in color. Has the heavy foliage of Josikea. A fine orna- 
mental shrub coming into bloom about a week after the French Lilacs. 
This variety deserves a place in all Lilac plantings. One who has never 
seen one of these hybrid Lilacs cannot imagine how beautiful they are 
and how different from other Lilacs. 
THE PINK PEARL LILAC 
Sweginzowi albida Each $3.00, Three $8.50, Doz. $32.00 
This new Hybrid Lilac was originated by Mr. Lemoine, of Nancy, France, 
who without a doubt has created the world’s finest Lilacs, Peonies, and 
many other things. This Lilac is not a so-called French Hybrid, but a 
cross between S. Sweginzowi Superba and S. Wilsoni. At the end of May 
it produces a profusion of many-branched panicles of the most elegant 
character; the large, long-tubed flowers with reflexed lobes are of a 
delicate pale pink passing to white and are very sweet scented. The 
flowers remind one of large trusses of pink pearls. Hardy anywhere. 
THE DAPHNE LILAC 
Microphylla Superba Each $3.00, Three $8.50, Doz. $32.00 
A remarkably lovely shrub, deliciously fragrant, introduced from China. 
Graceful, slender stems; pinkish red buds opening to pale pink, loose 
panicles of small individual florets. The flowers produce a two-tone 
effect that is very pleasing and novel. The main truss is on top of 
each stem and smaller trusses are set down the branches, so that the 
entire plant forms one large bouquet. The foliage is very pretty, about 
One inch long and three-fourths inch wide. Blooms again in the fall. 
The fragrance of this Lilac is something never to be forgotten. More 
like that of Daphne and Gardenia blended than the Lilac fragrance 
we are familiar with.
