DWARF and FLOWERING TREES 
(All in this list are entirely hardy here, and do well in this region.) 
CRABS, BECHTELS, 6-8 feet.— 
This little tree produces large, 
double, pink, rose-like flowers in 
May. 2-3 ft., $1.50; 3-4 ft., $2.25; 
4-5 ft., $3.50. 
HOPA, 12-15 feet.—This is an up- 
right grower and produces enor- 
mous quantities of deep pink 
flowers. Both Hopa and Red Sil- 
ver are excellent ornamental 
plants, and are the best varieties 
we know. 4-5 ft., $2.00; 5-6 ft., 
$2.50. 
RED SILVER, 10-12 feet. — The 
flowers of this variety are deep 
red, the foliage is reddish all 
summer, and the small fruits are 
likewise dark red. The branches 
of this variety are a little more 
spreading than Hopa. 4-5 ft. 
$2.00; 5-6 ft., $2.50. 
MAPLE, AMUR (Acer ginnala) 12- 
15 feet.—This tree grows slowly 
branches from near the ground, 
has foliage very similar to that of 
Cut Leaf Birch, and the foliage 
colors brilliantly in the fall. There 
is a planting of them in a Hast- 
ings park which we admire par- 
ticularly in the fall. 5-6 ft., $2.75. 
’ >DLUM, NEWPORT, 6-10 feet.—The 
bright purple foliage is the fea- 
ture of this plant which makes it 
useful, 2-3 ft., $1.50: 3-4 ft., $2.00. 
OLIVE, RUSSIAN, 12-15 feet.—This 
tree is of especial value when 
used in a border planting where 
its silvery foliage makes a pleas- 
ing contrast with other green fol- 
iage. 4-5 ft., $1.35. 
ASH, MOUNTAIN, 15-18 feet.—The 
tree is a nice symmetrical and 
dressy one, and produces clusters 
of bright orange-red berries. 5-6 
ft., $2.00. 




~ SHRUBS 
ARROWWOOD (Vibernum denta- 
tum) 5-8 feet.—In our landscape 
planning we use this plant very 
frequently. It is entirely hardy, is 
of upright habit, has attractive 
rugose foliage and clusters of 
purple berries. 
GREEN LEAF BARBERRY (Ber- 
beris thunberai) 2-4 feet.—This 
shrub makes one of the most 
beautiful specimen bushes. Its 
foliage is good and colors vividly 
in the fall; it has attractive red 
fruit and makes a most graceful 
shrub. But do not plant it if you 
cannot take care of it. To keep it 
looking nice, one must cut out 
about half of the old canes each 
year. 
RED LEAF BARBERRY (B. thun- 
bergi atropurpurea) 2-3 feet. — 
This barberry is less hardy than 
the one above, but even with 
‘some branch winter-killing it is 
worthwhile because of its bright 
foliage color. 
WING-BARK BURNING BUSH 
(Euonymus alatus) 3-5 feet.— 
Among the smaller shrubs this 
one is among the half-dozen best. 
The corky wings of bark are very 
interesting and the shrub is slow 
enough growing that it does not 
grow out of place quickly. The 
foliage colors bright red in the 
fall. 
BUTTERFLY BUSH (Buddlea) 2-4 
feet.—The long fronds of bright- 
ly colored flowers make it quite 
showy. The bush behaves like an 
herbaceus perennial in that the 
branches kill back nearly to the
