PINK SPIREA 
(Spiraea macrothyrsa). 5 feet. This is 
without doubt the finest pink Spirea ever 
introduced. The enormous spikes of cam- 
eo-pink flowers up to 12 inches long, are 
produced on strong, willowy stems up to 
4 feet long. Clusters of secondary spikes 
follow after cutting, and by trimming out 
the old flowers, the plant can be made to 
bloom all summer until late September.

each. 

(Chionanthus virginicus). A superb 
shrub sometimes attaining a height of 10 
ft. and being completely clothed with a 
mist of glistening white flowers during its 
blooming time in May. Very large, glos- 
sy, deep green leaves are enhanced in 
the fall with a wealth of black berries. 
One of the few shrub seeds attractive to 
various members of the Woodpecker 
tribe. Pleasing, upright stem growth 
makes an excellent winter silhouette. 
Everyone will want one of these lovely 
plants. Heavy, 3-year plants, 2 ft. and up, 
$1.75 each; $4.50 for 3. 
<< BLUE MIST 
(Caryopteris). A lovely new 
creation. This is an extremely 
hardy form of a beautiful southern 
favorite. Showed no damage in the 
severe winter of 1947-48. It is a 
real contribution to the meager list 
of summer and fall flowering 
shrubs, being covered from August 
to frost with clusters of powdery 
blue, fringed flowers. Will grow to 
2 to 2¥% feet tall in a perfectly 
rounded mound. In bloom it gives 
the effect of a sparkling amethyst 
set in a silvery green setting. Not 
too particular as to soil, but does 
like plenty of fertility. For spring 
planting only. $1.25 each; $3.25 for

SMOKE TREE 
(Purple Fringe) 
(Cotinus coggygria).This is a fine shrub or 
small tree growing to a height of about 8 feet or 
more and often to an equal width if grown as a 
specimen. Attractive, medium green foliage. The 
true blooms are small yellow flowers and are 
followed by filmy, silky seed pods that give the 
whole plant the appearance of being covered by 
billows of purple smoke. Blends beautifully in the 
shrub border or makes an exciting point of inter- 
est as a lawn specimen. Beautiful, 2 to 3 ft, 3- 
year plants, many of which have bloomed in our 
nursery at $1.75 each; $4.50 for 3. 

NEW HYBRID GOLDEN CHAIN 
(Laburnum vossi). 10 feet. No picture can do 
justice to this extremely lovely plant. Its long 
clusters of pure golden yellow are similar in form 
to the well known Wistaria, and often reach 18 
inches in length, as many as 6 or 8 clusters on a 
small twig. Does well in either partial shade or 
full sun. A show plant all season with its decora- 
tive green bark and large, clover-like leaves. 2 to 
3 i $1.90 each. Heavy branched, 4 to 5 ft., $3.95 
each.
