PUNICA granatum, POMEGRANATE (7). 
Dwarf Double Red. This is new and remarkably fine. Habit about same as the 
older single form but with deeper red, fully double carnation-like flowers. Is also 
a free bloomer over a very long season. We regard it highly. Bare roots, 15 to 18 in., 
$1.80; 12 to 15 in., $1.50 (if wanted balled add 30c per plant) ; pot grown, $1.25. 
VIBURNUM ichangense (6). When only a foot or two tall this small shrub commences 
to bear many clusters of white flowers followed by small glistening red berries which 
last well. A very delightful plant which should become well liked. 3 to 4 ft., $3.00; 
pot grown, $1.50. 
wrighti, WRIGHT VIBURNUM (5). For a change we will let others do the de- 
scribing. An English catalog says: “It is attractive from August to October with cymes 
of glistening red globose-ovoid berries.’’ Florists Exchange: “It is just gorgeous. 
Berries large, very bright red and, best of all, borne in great profusion.” Morton Ar- 
boretum: “All red fruited Viburnums are showy but none more so than this which 
is rather like Linden Viburnum but broader of leaf and with larger, glossier bright 
scarlet fruit borne in handsome full clusters. Foliage has deep crimson autumnal 
coloring.” So why should we add anything? Pot grown, $1.25. 
XANTHOCERAS sorbifolium, SHINYLEAF YELLOWHORN (5). The following is 
copied verbatim from 1915 semicentennial catalog of California Nursery Co., where 
it was illustrated and described: ‘‘Easily one of the most beautiful deciduous flower- 
ing shrubs. Growth strong and upright. Leaves pinnate, much resembling those of 
mountain ash. Flowers funnel shaped with five white, crinkled petals, borne in erect 
panicles. At base inside are five little bright yellow horns, also a conspicuous yellow 
blotch which soon turns red. Blooms most profusely in late spring. Splendid.”” Above 
is still entirely true and how such a fine thing ever got “‘out of circulation” is hard to 
say, but probably due to scarcity of seed for propagation. Now that it is available 
again after so many years it should become’ popular. It is said to thrive particularly 
well in hot, dry climates: If bought before growth starts plants can be shipped “‘bare 
roots.” Gallon can, $2.50. 
CLIMBERS 
CAMPSIS grandiflora, CHINESE TRUMPETCREEPER (7). 
Better known as Bignonia chinensis or B. grandiflora. It is easily one of the hand- 
somest deciduous climbers where it is sufficiently hardy. It is not rampant so not likely 
to get much more than 10 feet tall. For several weeks in summer it covers itself with 
great terminal sprays of large funnel-shaped yellowish flowers suffused at tips with 
orange red. Field grafted, 2 yr., $2.50; 1 yr., $1.85. 
CAMPSIS Mme. Galen (5). While the common Trumpet Vine (Tecoma radicans) 
is practically a weed, its marriage to C. grandiflora resulted in this gorgeous hybrid 
which combines the hardiness of the former with the beauty of the latter. It is a 
stronger grower than C. grandiflora but much less rampant than T. radicans. The 
flowers which also are borne in large clusters at end of shoots are almost as large as 
those of C. grandiflora and much redder. It blooms all summer and when in full 
bloom is a solid mass of flowers. It is really a particular clon of the hybrid C. taglia- 
buana. We quote from a Bulletin of Arnold Arboretum: “While it is occasionally 
seen in eastern gardens it is almost unknown in the middle west, where Trumpet- 
creepers grow unusually well. It is a splendid ornamental vine and is deserving of 
far wider recognition in American gardens.” Anticipating a heavy demand we have 
worked up a large stock of field grown grafted plants and hope to be able to fill all 
orders. Field grafted, 2 yr., $2.50; 1 yr., $1.85.
