RED LEAF PLUM 
A most striking tree. The full, mature height is only 8 to 10 feet, but 
DWARF POMEGRANATE 
A tiny little shrub, growing only two to four feet tall, and thriving 
almost anywhere. It is strongly resistant to heat and drouth, and in 
addition to these characteristics, it is equally resistant to root rot 
which so seriously limits plantings in some areas. The flowers are 
scarlet-red and freely produced in the spring, with scattered flowers 
continuing most of the summer. The foliage is a bright, shiny green, 
set off by the crop of charming little ornamental red fruits in the fall. 
Used as a hedge or border as well as specimen plants. 
it glows like a rare jewel in your yard. In the spring it is covered 
with pale pink blossoms; these are followed by purplish red and 
green foliage which grows steadily more red all season long, ending 
up in a blaze of most brilliant color in the fall. 
cee tal JAPANESE QUINCE 
»> (Chaenomeles lagenaria) No more beautiful or colorful flowers appear 
in the spring than these which burst forth ahead of the foliage on the 
flowering quince. They are of particularly fiery scarlet-orange color, 
readily identified from a ccnsiderable distance. Some people call the 
plant Burning Bush because of this mass of flaming bloom. Normally, 
the plants do not exceed 6 feet in height, but very old plants some- 
times reach 10 feet. The fruits are highly fregrant, and are used to 
perfume linens. 
REDBUD 
Native to Texas, this flowering tree is at home in your garden. Its 
hardiness and its freedom from disease or insect troubles make it a 
particularly satisfactory plant to grow. The trees are small, reaching 
only 5 to 10 feet in height, but they are certainly not missed by the 
eye when they are filled with bloom. The flowers are an attractive 
rosy purple, followed by healthy, glossy green foliage. Early spring 
blooming period. Try this plant as a background for lower shrubs. 
SNOWBALL 
A good many of our best shrubs are handed down to us through 
countless generations of gardens. Their continued popularity depends 
on more than sentiment. They are, by their very age, proved both 
in dependability and in beauty. The common snowball is one of these 
shrubs. Its giant balls of pure white flowers in the spring of the 
year never fail to give pleasure to the grower. The plants grow 8 to 10 
feet tall, with broad, 3-lobed leaves which iurn crimson and orange 
in the fall. Not adapied in ihe Gulf Coast iegion. 
SPIREA 
Planted both for the mass of white flowers in the spring and 
for the graceful, arching, slender branches which make it 
such a delightful informal hedge plant during the summer 
and fall. All spireas are hardy and welcome lots of sunshine. 
Spirea prunifolia — White flowers on upright, slender 
branches. Plants grow up to 6 feet tall. 
Spirea Reevesiana (Double)—Small, tightly double flowers 
in dense clusters. Shrub is bushy and about 4 feet tall. 
Spirea thunbergi—First to bloom. Arching branches to 5 feet 
tall. Leaves turn orange and scarlet in fall. 
Spirea Van Houttei (Bridal Wreath)—Very dense clusters of 
many white flowers. The most familiar species. 
TAMARIX 
Also called Salt Cedar. A small tree or shrub which grows rapidly, and which provides 
the garden with first a beautiful display of feathery spires of soft pink flowers, and 
then most attractive, narrow, needle-like leaves on the long, slender branches. May be 
pruned quite severely in late winter, which improves the flowers. 
VITEX 
Showy flower spikes of lavender-blue flowers, produced freely during the midsummer 
season when color is needed in the garden. This shrub is also known as Chaste Tree, 
and while it normally grows from 6 to 9 feet tall, some spec:mens reach much greater 
size. Very dark green leaves, gray on the under side. 
WEIGELA 
This shrub has the brightest, most attractive green foliage you can imagine in the 
spring. The arching branches are loaded with small, bell-like flowers during the spring 
season. Several varieties are available, in pink, red and white colors. Plants grow 
about 5 or 6 feet tall, and may be situated either in sun or partial shade. 
WISTARIA 
While wistaria is familiar to everyone as a very tall climbing vine, not every home has 
a place for such a plant. For that reason the tree form of this fragrant and beautiful 
flower is very desirable. The tree form produces the same long, colorful lilac-purple 
chains of bloom as the vine, but remains a small, neat tree. These are all grafted plants, 
sure to bloom at once.
