Crape Murctle Blooms Midsummer to Frost 
Hardy Pink Crape Myrtle 

Crape Myrtle, the south’s 
most beautiful shrub, can 
now be grown farther north. 
We have secured a strain 
which is hardier. However, 
we do not advise planting it 
in the coldest sections like 
northern lowe, Minnesota, 
etc. In northern states, grow 
it just like Everblooming 
Roses, giving winter protec- 
tion by mounding up dirt 
before cold weather comes. 
It blooms on new growth so 
it does not matter if the old 
top is entirely killed. The 
flowers have such lovely 
clear colors with a soft 
crepe-like texture. We have 
priced them reasonably so 
all can enjoy this wonder- 
ful shrub. They generally 
bloom the very first sum- 
mer. However they have 
one peculiarity. plat some- 
times are slow to leaf out 
the first spring they are 
planted. They stay dor- 
mant for several weeks and 
you wonder if they are dead. 
But after awhile the leaves 
come out and then soon 
they start blooming. With- 
out doubt the Crape Myrtle 
is one of the most beautiful of all shrubs. The foliage is glossy deep green 
and it blooms in the hot summer months when flowers are so welcome.
