Texas glows with color 
Most of these colorful trees and shrubs are deciduous (lose their leaves in winter); 
all of them are magnificent additions to Texas home plantings. Price from $1.50. 
FLOWERING ALMOND 
One of the very earliest trees to flower in the spring, the branches are simply covered 
with pink or white double flowers which appear in advance of the foliage. These 
flowers are like small, double roses, and persist for several weeks. 
ALTHEA 
The familiar Rose of Sharon. The shrubs grow to a height of 10 feet, and bloom freely 
from May to September. Available in both single and double flowered forms, and in 
several colors, including lavender, pink, red and white. 
BUDDLEIA , 
Commonly called Butterfly Bush because of its attraction to butterflies and humming 
birds, this is another shrub which blooms steadily from spring until fall. Long spikes 
of deep violet-purple flowers on 3 to 5 foot shrubs. 
FLOWERING CRAB 
There's more than just beauty to this tree. There's fragrance, 
as well. No flower has a more pleasing scent than the 
distinctive and gentle crabapple fragrance. Flowers are 
pale pink, each one of them large, and lots of them on a 
tree. The trees themselves do not exceed 15 feet in height. 
CRAPE MYRTLE 
One of the most glorious shrubs in Texas, and familiar to 
everyone not only in home plantings, but in the beautiful 
roadside masses of color along Texas highways. The shrubs 
may be kept pruned to make a small tree, or left to grow as 
a shrub. Flowers begin in June and continue until October, 
with pink, lavender, red and white colors available. Blooms 
may be harvested as cut flowers. 
FLOWERING PEACH 
DOGWOOD 
A graceful, small tree which should be planted in a 
partially shaded spot under other trees. Two colors of 
flowers available, white and pink. 
FORSYTHIA 
One of the earliest shrubs to bloom in the spring, forsythia provides 
a glowing mass of bright yellow blooms, springing like magic from 
bare branches in advance of the foliage. The earliest of all cut flow- 
ers may be obtained by harvesting branches in late winter after the 
buds begin to swell, and just putting them in water in a vase indoors. 
They'll go right ahead and bloom without hesitation. 
HYDRANGEA 
Hardy, easily grown shrubs with immense flower clusters. They may 
be planted in full sun or partial shade. The flowers of the most often 
planted form (P. G.) are white, changing to pink, holding on the 
bushes from mid-summer until late fall. Prune severely in the fall or 
early spring in order to encourage the greatest number of flowers. 
Often reach the size of a small tree. 
LILAC 
We offer the Persian Lilac as the best species for this region. The 
plants grow up to 10 feet tall, providing a fine display of purple 
flowers. The fragrance of this old favorite flower is one of the best- 
loved scents in the flower world. Dependable blooms year after year, 
with occasional seasons when you will be surprised to have a fall 
crop as well. 
ORIENTAL MAGNOLIAS 
Quite different in size from the common magnolia grandiflora, this 
group of small trees ranges from 8 to 12 feet in height. The flowers 
present a most brilliant array of colors and forms, with some star 
shaped, some lily shaped, and some of the same shape as the common 
magnolia, but with rose-red petals, edged white. Ask to see the 
varieties available at the nursery. 
MIMOSA 
WEIGELA 
<@ 
One of the most popular flowering trees in Texas, this colorful and 
exotic species is also known as the Silk Tree. It frequently reaches 
large enough size to provide good shade, but it is grown principally 
for its spectacular fluffy pink blossoms that appear in great profusion 
like upright tassles all over the tree. Foliage is attractive and lacy, 
and carried on artistic, spreading branches. 
MOCK ORANGE 
(Philadelphus) An old fashioned shrub which has certainly never 
gone out of style. The flowers, which appear early in the summer, 
are so sweet scented that they remind you of orange blossoms them- 
selves. Blooms are pure white, large, and very freely borne all along 
the branches. Mock Orange grows freely in almd@t any soil, and 
will stand some shade. Plants grow about 7 feet tall. 
OLEANDER 
Free-blooming shrub with long, narrow, evergreen foliage. Oleander 
resists bad growing conditions with a most satisfying indifference. 
Drouth, heat, and wind leaves it growing steadily. Several varieties 
available, including white, pink, and red flowered types, and some 
double flowered kinds. 5 to 7 feet tall. 
FLOWERING PEACH 
Delicately colored pink, white or red flowers, fully double, and pro- 
duced in breath-taking abundance, literally covering the branches. 
Flowers appear very early in the spring in advance of the foliage. 
Trees grow only 8 to 10 feet tall, requiring very little room in your 
lawn or garden. Excellent, glossy green foliage.
