TWO EXTREMELY 
FRAGRANT SHRUBS 
Sweet Shrub (Calycanthus Floridus). 6 feet. A lovely old fa- 
vorite sometimes known as Strawberry Bush. The sturdy, 
reddish brown branches are well furnished with large, 
leathery, glossy leaves. The unique, double, spicily fra- 
grant flowers are chocolate-red and are borne in huge 
quantities in early spring. Sturdy, 2-year plants, $1.10 
each. 
Summer Sweet (Clethra Alnifolia). Probably the most 
fragrant shrub of them all. This plant, which grows to a 
height of 4¥%2 feet, produces a wealth of intensely sweet, 
spicy, white flowers. The blooming season is during the 
late summer and early fall when little else is in bloom. 
The plants will grow in almost any location and in any 
soil, even in shade and moist places. The flowers last well 
in the house, making them excellent for cutting. Thrifty, 
2-year plants, $1.00 each.
