New Bulbs 
AMARCRINUM (Page 117) 
The Amarcrinum, a cross between Amaryllis Belladonna 
and Crinum Moorei, has the appearance of a mammoth 
Amaryllis, but its color is an even frosty pink. Great 
trusses of flowers are borne on 3-foot stems. This. Amer- 
ican creation won the coveted Cory Cup of the Royal Horti- 
~ cultural Society of Great Britain. 
THE NEW BEGONIA MULTIFLORA (Pg. 120) 
This strain has been bred to produce hundreds of me- 
dium sized flowers per plant, instead of a limited number 
of the giant flowers. Beds and borders planted with the 
Multiflora Begonias are more colorful and brilliant because 
of the greater masses of blooms which are carried well 
above the foliage. 
NEW CALLA, White Giant (Page 115) 
The flowers when open are almost flat, not unlike a 
big rounded waxy white leaf giving a beautiful background 
to the soft yellow spathe which protrudes from a very 
short flaring center. They produce from 2 to 5 flowers 
when planted in the garden and as many when grown in 
a pot in the house where they make a handsome. plant. 
NEW GIANT FLOWERED GLADIOLI FROM 
HOLLAND (Pages 108, 109, 110) 
These are the Picardy Hybrids. They have blooms of 
immense size; some varieties grow spikes 6 feet tall. Colors 
are magnificent, clear and iridescent. Only four are illus- 
trated in color, see pages 108 to 110, but others are of 
the same size and type. By far the finest Gladioli in ex- 
istence. 
New Shrubs and Trees 
The MAGNIFICENT NEW LILAC, Clarke’s Giant, 
(12 to 14 inch trusses) (Page 179) 
When we say the ‘‘biggest and best’’ Lilac in existence, 
we mean just that! It is immense in every respect. Its 
leaves are bigger, it grows better, its flower trusses are 
larger, the individual flowers are of greater size than in 
any other variety we know about. 
A NEW PINK LILAC, Esther Staley (Page 178) 
Pink Lilacs have been waited for and wanted for many 
years. Esther Staley is a pure pink and a beautiful addi- 
tion to any collection of Lilacs. There is nothing like it. 
NEW DOGWOOD, White Cloud (Page 168) 
It is outstanding, in particular, for the immense amount 
of flowers it produces as well as the rapidity with which 
it starts flowering so freely. At opening the flowers give 
a creamy yellow effect which, after a few days, changes 
over to white. When in bloom the tree is literally a white 
cloud. Instead of just planting ordinary trees, try this new 
variety. It will reward you with greater masses of blooms 
for the rest of your life. F 
THE NEW NORWAY MAPLE, “Crimson King” 
About ten years ago a fascinating (purple or crimson) 
leaved Norway Maple tree was sent to America from 
Europe. It created the same sensation over here as it did 
in Europe. The effect is not unlike that of the Copper 
Beech, but in addition the tips of the branches and the 
young foliage are of a lighter shade and glisten brilliantly 
in the sun. One would think the tree was in bloom. Here 
truly is a rare thing; a superb plant for lawn, small or 
large. Illustrated on page 180. 
Two Fine Bronze-leaved Shrubs 
RHUS COTINUS RUBRIFOLIUS (Page 186) 
Here we have the rare bronze-leaved and “bronze 
plumed’’ Smoke Tree. The common Smoke Tree is too 
well known, nothing more need be said about it except 
that it has been a favorite garden shrub for hundreds of 
years. The bronze-leaved form has handsome bronze- 
tinted foliage and a bronze-colored so-called plume or 
smoke. It is one of the outstanding shrubs in our nursery. 
CORYLUS MAXIMA ATROPURPUREA 
(Purple-Leaved Filbert) (Page 166) 
For a rich display of bronze foliage there is nothing 
better than the Purple-Leaved Filbert. It is a much- 
branched shrub covered from top to bottom with fine, 
bronze leaves which make a pleasant break in the monot- 
ony of the green leaves in the shrubbery border. Foliage 
is fine for use in bouquets.

A New Fruit 
“HOWARD’S MIRACLE” (Page 6) 
A New Plum—A New Fruit 
New Roses 
CALIFORNIA CENTENNIAL (Page 89) 
A new, intensely fragrant, glowing crimson Rose of the 
most remarkable substance we have ever encountered in 
Roses. Opening to a deep crimson-red which does not fade 
or turn blue, something which cannot be said of most of the 
red Hybrid Tea Roses. The texture of the petals as well 
as the color are two oustanding fine points. The flowers 
when fully open are the most brilliant crimson of any 
Rose in our test garden. 
SLEIGH BELLS (Page 89) 
The flowers open gradually into blooms of great size, 
with 40 or more petals of heavy substance. A trace of 
Primrose at the base of the petals adds life to the flower. 
Best of all, this white Rose is really fragrant. Sleigh Bells 
is the better white Rose you have been looking for. 
FORTY-NINER (Page 87) 
The rich contrasting bright colors are its outstanding 
feature. The outside of the petals is rich chrome-yellow, 
sometimes overlaid with pink, changing to straw-yellow 
in the open bloom. This yellow color is most evident in 
the bud. The inside face of the petals is a vivid orient- 
red, changing to cherry-red with age. 
TALLYHO (Page 87) 
The inside of the petals is always a delightful shade of 
pink, such as Tyrian-rose, China-rose, Phlox-pink, or 
Neyron-rose, and the outside of the petals varies from 
crimson to cardinal-red. The plant will be one of the 
largest in the Rose garden. 
NOCTURNE (Page 94) 
This new red Rose has one of the longest, most perfect, 
streamlined buds displayed by any Rose in its color which 
is a bright cardinal-red with dark deep intriguing shad- 
ings of Chrysanthemum-crimson. 
TAFFETA (Page 86) 
It is difficult to name one color or color combination 
because it is so changeable, displaying dozens of lovely 
color combinations throughout the season. At various 
times it may be described as rose-pink, salmon, or apricot. 
BUTTERSCOTCH (Page 88) 
Nothing like the color of Butterscotch has so far been 
seen in Roses and very few Roses have as beautifully shaped 
flowers. The outside of the handsome petals is a soft, pale 
buff-yellow; the inside lemon-chrome at the base, chang- 
ing to pale yellow-orange, penciled very lightly with 
Orange-buff. The general color effect is a soft pastel 
capucine-buff. One of the best Roses. 
HILL’S HILLBILLY (Page 99) 
All the charm and grace of the wild Rose is reflected 
in this lovely, single pink Floribunda or Polyantha Hybrid 
of Hill’s. One stem with its head of flowers makes a bou- 
quet in itself and needs no further arrangement. Flowers 
last a week or more when cut. You'll love Hill’s Hillbilly. 
HILL TOP (Page 86) 
Hill Top is one of the latest introductions of Hill’s, one 
of their best. The color at opening is a deep capucine-buff 
and remains that shade in the center of the flower while 
the outer edges of the flower petals turn a pale pinkish 
buff. 
~ PEACE) (Page: 92) 
This Rose is almost unbelievable. Opening yellow buds, 
with edges picoteed cerise. Glorious 5-inch alabaster 
blooms, each petal edged with pink that seems to deepen 
as the flower slowly opens. The bloom is unusually large, 
long lasting and constantly fresh looking, its effect is 
always delicate and lovely. This is a rare discovery and 
only takes place once in the career of an originator. Con- 
sidered by most as the finest Rose.
