holds its color very well over the winter season. It belongs to 
the Virginia group of junipers and stands shade better than the 
Colorado group. Is better for use on north or east foundations 
or other shady situations. Hardy. Drouth resistant when estab- 
lished. 
CANAERT. An outstanding grafted variety of Virginia Juniper 
with attractive Dluish bloomy fruits. It is somewhat loosely- 
limbed and shows at its best when grown in a semi-formal shape. 
Its deep green color is outstanding. Hardy everywhere except in 
the extreme Northwest. 
SUTHERLAND. A grafted variety of the Colorado group; upright, 
medium growing; very regular and without any shearing makes a 
very shapely tree. One shearing each year keeps it very regular.

HEDGING 
CHINESE HEDGEWOOD. For quick effect. This dwarf Chinese (Sib- 
erian) Elm makes a fine clipped hedge, medium to high. It can 
also be side-trimmed only, and be grown into a living green wall 
15 to 20 feet high, for windbreak or screen. Is very hardy and 
drouth-resistant. Plants selected for hedge purposes. 
BUCKTHORN HEDGE. ‘This is a super-hardy hedge plant.

drouth-resistant. Very hardy and robust. 
CORALBERRY, CHENAULT. New, improved. Small leaves. Pink 
flowers. Red fruit. Foliage free of mildew. Fine low shrub

lished. One of the best for low hedges.

somewhat lower as a trimmed hedge (3 to 6 feet). Hardy and 
drouth resistant. 
SPIREA, FROEBEL. One of the best plants for low to medium 
hedges in the severe conditions of the Plains section. Stands 
very low temperatures and drouth conditions. When untrimmed it 
grows from 24 to 4 feet high and covers itself with attractive 
pink, rather flat, clusters of blossoms for quite a period in

HYBRID PERPEUAL ROSES 
This group of’roses is stronger growing than Hybrid Tea roses. 
They produce one very heavy crop of large, full, beautiful 
blossoms in June and a few recurrent blossoms later. Are more 
hardy and require less winter protection. Plant back of Hybrid 
Tea roses, 3 to 4 feet apart.

the 'world's greatest white rose'. Its persistence under all 
sorts of discouragement makes it one of the world's best roses. 
SHRUB ROSES 
AUSTRIAN COPPER. A new shrub rose which 1s described as a 
‘tantalizing garden gem which is superb and unique in its truly 
dazzling colors - no other rose shows such intensity of color-

ELM, RED. This species of elm 1s immune to phloem necrosis, a 
disease of the white (American) elm and its varieties. This 
disease has become quite sericus, working west from Columbus, 
Ohio, to Manhattan, Kansas, but crossing north of the 40th 
Darallel (Nebraska's southern boundary) Very Little, . ltite 
thought that little damage will occur north of this line. We 
suggest that southern Nebraska and Kansas planters use red elm 
for windbreaks and shelterbelts, rather than white elm. 
HONEYSUCKLE, BELLE. The strongest growing of the bush honey- 
suckles. Adapted to back yard screens and low windbreaks. Very 
hardy. 



ELM, HYBRID. These trees are grown from seed gathered from 
trees which are apparently hybrids of Chinese and American Elm. 
They show characteristics of both species. They are excellent 
for protective planting. Will probably withstand more drouth 
than American Elm and grow into larger trees than Chinese. 
Since Chinese Elm is immune to phloem necrosis it is assumed 
that at least one-half of these will be immune. 

SODUS RASPBERRY. A purple raspberry of black-cap type.
