Coles GOLDEN PRIVET 
(Ligustrum aurea). 4 ft. A glorious new golden 
leaved shrub, Usually when we think of Privet, 
we think of hedges, but that is not the case with 
this lovely new plant. Its neat, semi-dwarf growth 
habit and the fact that it retains its leaves clear 
to the ground, make it valuable in almost any 
situation. It is an outstanding gem, in combin- 
ation with evergreens, in the foundation planting. 
The rich, golden color makes for striking contrast. 
Growth is medium slow, the maximum height be- 
ing reached over a period of 4 to 5 years. Trim- 
ming is not necessary but will, of course, improve 
the thickness and general beauty of the plant. 
Beautiful 15 to 18 in. plants, $1.75 each; $4.50 for 
3. 
AFRICAN 
TAMARIX-=> 
(Tamarix africana). Exotic 
pink, plumy clusters on 
nodding willowy stems in 
the spring. Slender, ever- 
green-like foliage complete- 
ly covering the plant 
throughout the summer. 
Brown-barked twigs attrac- 
tive throughout the winter. 
This strongly growing plant 
will reach a mature height 
of 8 feet in 2 to 3 years, but 
may be kept smaller by cut- 
ting for bouquets, and by 
careful pruning. One of the 
finest of its genera. 2 to 3 ft., 
$1.10 each. 3 to 4 ft., $1.50 
each.

HYBRID LILACS 
America’s Most Popular Flowering Shrub. 
(Syringa). 7 feet. Several years ago we were able to obtain grafting scions from one of 
the world’s finest Lilac collections at the Arboretum at Rochester, New York. This year, for 
the first time, we are able to offer some of the fine varieties from that list. From year to year, 
we are going to to be able to increase our list to include many more of these finer Lilacs. 
This year’s offering includes: 
Belle De Nancy. Strong growing, heavy blooming, double, shimmering pink flowers. Excellent 
foliage. 
Katherine Havemeyer. Rosy buds open into excellent, large, double flowers in a combination 
of orchid, blue and pink that is almost indescribable. A sturdy growing bush. 
Mrs, Edward Harding. Unusually fine double red flowers on a strong plant well clothed with 
large foliage. 
President Grevy. An old-timer, but still one of the very finest of the double blues. Its huge, 
heavy, deep green leaves make it a beautiful plant at all times. 
President Poincaire. Great clusters of double, glowing, deep purplish red flowers on strong, 
thick stems. 
We offer the above five varieties in sturdy, 15- to 18-inch plants at $1.15 each; $3.00 for 
any 3 of your selection.

among the many varieties that we have, we can offer them by color in a strong, 2 to 2¥2

tains moisture and gen- 
erally improves grow-

dispensable when deal- 
ing with heavy clay 
soils.
