Coles 
CHOICE COLLECTION OF 
ACID LOVING PLANTS 
Because all of this group of plhnts like an acid soil, and 
all like similar growing conditiogis and have many charac- 
teristics in common, we are inclutiing them in a group. Any 
of these varieties will do well in partial shade or full sun, 
and all like a loose, well drained, moist soil full of humus. 
For this reason and for the acidity, we are including with 
each shipment enough specially prepared Cole's acid 
peat humus to properly plant the plants and last them for 



ae. 
Coles BLUE HYDRANGEA 
Huge flowers of a size and quality 
you often see on plants selling for $4.00 
and up in the flower shops. But these 
are completely hardy outdoors. There 
is really no trick to raising these. Just 
maintain the acidity, which we take care of for several 
years with the acid peat humus we send you, and 
give a little extra water. Due to our improved produc- 
tion methods, we are able to offer these finest of Blue 
Hydrangeas in heavy, 2-yr., blooming size plants, at 
$1.50 each; $4.00 for 3; $12.50 for 10. 
CHINESE FLAME AZALEAS 
(Mollis) 
By far the most successful Azalea in the north. Flowers precede 
the leaves in the spring and make a never-forgotten show of a 
broad range of colors from light yellow to deep flame-red. They will 
grow from 3 to 4 feet tall. We offer sturdy, 8- to 12-inch plants, $2.40 
for 2; $5.50 for 5; $10.00 for 10.

(Oxydendrum arboreum) 
Again we are able to offer one of the most unusual and at- 
tractive shrubs grown. Lovely, light green foliage plentifully 
splashed and tinted with gold and cerise, matures to a rich, 
glossy greenness in the summer time. The fall coloring is an 
indescribable display of brilliant red, and to add to this glory 
are the 6- to 8-inch spikes of soft, bell-shaped, Lily-of-the-Val- 
ley-like flowers in the springtime. Grows slowly to a mature 
height of about 14 feet, but may be kept much smaller by care- 
ful pruning. Everyone will want several of these. Branched,

GLORIOUS HYBRID RHODODENDRONS 
Again we offer what we believe are the three finest hardy hybrid Rhododen- 
drons. Each is a stand-out in its color class. Each is strong growing and heavy 
blooming. Some of these plants will have flower buds when you receive them 
and any that do not, will surely bloom next year. We are proud to offer the 
following varieties: 
Dr. V. H. Rutgers. Huge clusters of large, glorious red flowers. The petals are 
delicately ruffled at the edges and the upper ones are touched with fawn 
markings. Strong growing and the finest of the red Rhododendrons. 
Everastianum. Attractive pink delicately touched with lilac. Large clusters of 
large flowers. Strong growing, heavy blooming. 
Lee’s Dark Purple. The deepest purple of any Rhododendron. The rich velvety 
petals are set off by delicate throat markings and golden anthers. The indi- 
vidual flowers are large and come in generous clusters. 
Due to an excellent growing season, we are able to offer these lovely, 3-year, 
blooming size plants at a low price which is within the reach of each and every 
one. Plants are potied in a specially prepared soil mixture that assures success, 
and enough acid peat humus is included with each shipment to maintain the soil 
acidity for some time. 
Above varieties: $3.65 each; $10.25 for 3; $32.50 for 10. 
Colet LARGE FRUITING 
HYBRID BLUEBERRIES 
Gorgeous shiny foliage and dainty pink blossoms make these lovely plants 
valuable in the foundation or landscape planting as well as for fruiting pur- 
poses. Will grow and produce fruit in partial shade. As Blueberries require 
several varieties for pollinization, we do not offer them singly, but in groups of 
three, six and twelve, selected by us for best fruiting. Jersey, Pioneer, Rubel 
and Rancocas are among those from which we will select. BECAUSE OF IM- 
PROVED METHODS OF PROPAGATION, WE ARE ABLE TO OFFER THESE 
WONDERFUL, LARGE-FRUITING BLUEBERRIES AT A NEW LOW PRICE. 
Heavy bearing size, 3-year, 112- to 2-ft. plants: 
$3.60 for 3; $6.60 for 6; $12.00 for 12. 







GOLDEN SCOTCH BROOM 
(Cytisus praecox). The only truly hardy 
shrub that resembles the lovely, golden Genista 
or Easter Flower. A compact growing shrub that 
never becomes bare or leggy at the bottom, even at 
its ultimate height of 7 feet. The lovely, soft, golden 
bloom completely covers the plant in the spring. 
Will withstand trimming and will stand some shade. 
Plants bloom at small size and do best in a moist, 
peaty soil. Because these plants do need some acid- 
ity, although they will grow in non-acid soil, we are 
sending along enough acid peat to take care of 
them for quite a time, at no increase over our pre- 
vious phenomenally low price. Heavy, 2-yr. plants, 
$1.90 each; $5.25 for 3; $16.00 for 10. 
CATAWBA RHODODENDRON 
Stocky, nursery grown plants of our finest native Rhododen- 
dron. Flaming crimson buds followed by gorgeous lavender-pink 
flowers in huge clusters in late May. Dense, glossy foliage. Slow 
growing with a mature height cf about 6 feet. Sturdy, 3-yr., 10-in. 
plants, $2.40 for 2; $5.50 for 5; $10.00 for 10.
