orient-red to cherry-red with the reverse being straw- 
yellow, faintly washed pink. See page 4.

dom gardeners everywhere. Currant-red in color and true

can Rose Annual. See page 4. 
FLOWERING SHRUBS 
NEW FORSYTHIA-SPRING GLORY. Pale pleasant yellow 
color with twice the number of blossoms of the common 
forsythia. Branches are a mass of flowers that literally 
bend with their weight. See page 18. 
NEW WEIGELA—BRISTOL RUBY. This variety will un- 
doubtedly replace the other weigelas. Color isa soft ruby- 
red shading to garnet-crimson. See page 19. 
NEW MOCKORANGE — MINNESOTA SNOWFLAKE. See 
page 19 for a complete description of this new shrub and 
why we believe it is far superior to the common virginalis. 
HYPERICUM SUN GOLD. You’ll love this new little dwarf 
shrub. A solid gold mass through the late summer. Very 
attractive foliage also. See page 18. 
CLARKRE’S GIANT and ESTHER STALEY. Two brand new 
lilacs that all lilac lovers will want to add to their collec- 
tion. These are choice. See page 22. 
SHADE TREES 
NORWAY MAPLE—CRIMSON KING. The finest shade tree 
to be introduced in recent years. Last summer the people 
went wild over the crimson foliage that remained that 
way for as long as the leaves lasted. We didn’t have 
enough last year, but we can take care of you this year 
with our fine stock of these trees. See page 21. 
PERENNIALS 
DELPHINIUM—PINK SENSATION. The only true pink per- 
ennial Delphinium in existence. Repeat bloomer with as 
many as three crops of bloom in one season. See page 26. 
DIANTHUS OLD SPICE. Pat. No. 499. A choice new hybrid 
of the old fashioned garden pink. A full description of this 
fairly new perennial is given on page 26. We think it is 
one of our finest perennials. 
HELLEBORUS (CHRISTMAS ROSE). While not a new 
perennial, we have had so many calls for it, we are listing 
it for the first time. See page 27. 
FRUIT TREES 
HOWARD'S “MIRACLE PLUM”. “Miracle Plum” marks an 
epoch in the advance of fine fruits for the table. Large 
size, firm amber flesh combined with a delightful color. 
Plant it this spring. See page 30.
