FLOWERING ALMONDS, PLUMS AND PEACHES 
Among the Flowering Prunes are several handsome shrubs called variously: Flowering. Plums, 
Flowering Cherries, Flowering Almonds and Flowering Peaches. They are so well known that they 
do not need any introduction. They are very hardy. 
FLOWERING PEACHES 
The general habit of all is much the same, the main difference being 
in color of flowers and time of blooming. They should be very severely 
pruned every year as soon as they have finished blooming and before 
growth starts. Cutting them for decoration accomplishes the same _ pur- 
pose and is highly beneficial but should be completed as soon as flowers 
are gone. All growth of the previous season should be cut back to about 
8 inches. Don’t touch them in the fall as that is simply cutting off 
potential flowers. 
Spring planting only is recommended except in localities where tem- 
peratures do not go below 10 degrees of frost. 
Cardinal Each $2.00, Three $5.75, Doz. $20.00 
Profusely laden with rich colored madder-rose or Tyrian rose double 
blooms which have a rich crimson sheen. A brilliant and beautiful 
effect is created. A thrill you will long remember. A rare plant for 
your gorden. 
Iceberg Each $2.00, Three $5.75, Doz. $20.00 
A magnificent pure double white Peach. Spotlessly white flowers in 
great quantities give an effect not often seen in flowers. A perfect 
beauty. 
Pink Charming Each $2.00, Three $5.75, Doz. $20.00 
Delightful and charming is what visitors tell us of this variety. 
Lovely double rose-pink blossoms grow in super-abundance, making 
this small tree look like a huge bouquet. 
WEEPING PEACHES 
Like other weeping trees of this nature, these are on erect stems at 
about 4 or 5 feet. The branches droop sharply, giving them a very 
artistic appearance. 
Double Red Weeping Each $2.50, Three $7.00, Doz. $25.00 
Color is rich and entirely distinct from the erect reds. 
Double White Weeping Each $2.50, Three $7.00, Doz. $25.00 
Flowers are exactly like those of the tea plant, but larger and moderately 
double, showing the yellow stamens. The long sprays of handsome flow- 
ers give a delightful effect. 
DOUBLE PINK PENDULANT PEACH 
Queen of Hearts Each $2.50. Three $7.00, Doz. $25.00 
This beautiful small tree does not droop ful y as much as the red or 
the white varieties, but has more of a spreading pendulant habit which 
gives a superbly artistic effect. The blooms are fully double and a 
clean, sparkling, pure pink closely set on twisting arching branches, 
creating a picture that you will long remember. This little tree even 
when not in bloom is most pleasing to look at. We are sure you will 
highly enjoy this in a choice spot in your garden, or perhaps as an 
isolated speciman on the lawn.

FLOWERING ALMOND 
Glandulosa alba Each $2.00, Three $5.75, Doz. $20.00 
The small, very double, white rosettes grow in great quantities along 
the stem in late April and early May. Lovely when in bloom. Ultimate 
height about 4 to 5 feet. 
Each $1.50, Three $4.00, Doz. $15.00 
Glandulosa rosea 
Produces very double, rose colored flowers in great profusion in spring. 
One of the most charming old-fashioned early flowering shrubs, and 
is still unsurpassed in beauty in its season. Our plants are grown on 
their own roots, thus insuring extra vigor and more lasting satisfaction 
as well as no ‘‘wild suckers.’’ 
FLOWERING PLUMS 
Pissardi rosea (Purple-Leaved Plum “Special Selection”) 
Each $4.00, Three $11.00, Doz. $40.00 
The deep bronzy purple foliage of this small tree is its great attraction; 
however, the thousands of pink, single flowers in spring are not to be 
overlooked. Most ‘‘purple’’ leaved trees lose much of their color through- 
out the summer, but this is not the case with this special selection of 
ours recently imported from England. Its foliage is of the deepest shade 
of purplish red imaginable, almost black. It makes a fine contrast plant 
and helps give variety and color in the garden, easily grown and ideal 
for the small yard or a special point of interest. Ultimate height about 
10 feet. Occasional pruning will keep it in shape desired. 
Pissardi Veitchi Each $4.00, Three $11.00, Doz. $40.00 
This small tree grows about 15 feet tall. In early spring it is covered 
with large clusters of double pink blossoms like those of the double 
flowering Cherry. In fact it is often mistaken for a flowering Cherry. 
It is very hardy and should be used in place of flowering Peaches or 
Cherries in those localities where the latter are not hardy. In addition 
to the delightful display of double pink flowers you will enjoy the 
bronze-colored foliage as well as the delicious, small, sweet plums 
which ripen in early autumn. Here is a small tree equally charming for 
the small garden or as a specimen on the large lawn. 

Triloba Each $2.00, Three $5.75, Doz. $20.00 
(Flowering Plum.) The flowering Plum blooms early in May before the 
leaves come out. The delightful double, quilled, bright pink flowers 
stud every twig and branchlet so heavily no wood is visible. Very hand- 
some and should not be left out of any garden. Here again we offer 
plants growing on their own roots because they are much more satis- 
factory. Ultimate height about 8 feet.
