CYDONIAS 
New Upright Spitfire (Page 163) 
A fine early flowering shrub of ex- 
cellent habit. Grows upright to a height 
of 6 to 7 feet, although it may be kept 
at 4 or 5 feet by topping. Huge, deep 
crimson flowers cover the plant, creating 
a brilliantly beautiful effect. Magnifi- 
cent for hedge, single specimen or in 
shrub plantings where space is limited 
as the plants are only 2 feet across 
when mature. 
Knaphill Scarlet (Page 163) 
An English origination, this exquisite 
flowering Quince is a choice, low grow- 
ing plant. In early spring, the mound- 
like plants are completely covered with 
huge, shove vermilion-red flowers. Ideal for foundation planting, 
in front of the shrub border or for low edgings. Blooms at Tulip 
time. Its ultimate height is about 24 inches. 
BOXWOOD 
Hardy Korean (Page 154) 
This splendid hardy variety of Boxwood is especially fine for low 
edgings and dwarf hedges. Its attractive leaves are not quite as 
shiny as the English Boxwood, but it is indefinitely hardier and 
can be grown successfully where temperatures go well below zero. 
It is evergreen and does not winter-burn; does equally well in full 
sun or shade. There are fine plantings of it in Montreal, Canada. 
NEW MALUS (Flowering Crab) 
Floribunda Hillieri (Page 173) 
A magnificent new English Crab that is greatly superior to the 
common Floribunda. Clusters of 5 to 8 large, semi-double, bright 
pink flowers bloom late, prolonging the flowering season several 
days. 10 to 12 feet tall. 
Kaido or Fragrant Crab (Page 173) 
One of the finest small pink-flowered trees. Blooms early, pro- 
ducing exquisite rose-pink buds and rich clear pink flowers. De- 
cidedly upright in form, grows 8 to 10 feet high and 4 feet across. 
An outstanding tree of rare beauty.

CNew Shrubs and Trees 
NORWAY MAPLE 
Crimson King (Page 159) k 
, Some years ago, a fascinating (purple or crimson) leaved Nor-« — 
way Maple tree arrived in America from Europe. It created the © 
same sensation over here as it did in Europe. Similar in effect to 
the Copper Beech, but in addition, the tips of branches and the 
young foliage are a lighter shade and glisten brilliantly in the sun. 
Here truly is a rare specimen, a superb tree for lawn, small or 
large. 
LOVELY LILACS 
Clarke’s Giant (Page 180) 
We could say titanic, enormous, gigantic, colossal or tremen- 
dous, they all would apply, because ’’Clarke’s Giant”’ is the largest — 
and best Lilac in existence. It is immense in every respect. lts — 
leaves are bigger, it grows better, flower trusses are larger, and ~ 
the individual flowers of greater size than other varieties. You 
will find it irresistible. 
Esther Staley (Page 179) 
For years our customers have been asking us for a good pink 
Lilac. We are now happy to offer Esther Staley, the finest and 
best pink Lilac ever offered. Its beautiful La-France-pink blos-— 
soms will lend enchantment to any garden. There is nothing 
like it. 
RHUS 
Cotinus Rubrifolius (Page 182) 
Here we have an unusual bronze-leaved and bronze-plumed 
Smoke Tree. The common Smoke Tree is well known, having been 
a favorite garden shrub for hundreds of years. Handsome bronze- 
tinted foliage with a bronze-colored plume gives the illusion of 
smoke encircling this fine, rare shrub. It is one of the most out- 
standing items in our nursery. 
CORYLUS 
Maxima Atropurpurea (Purple-Leaved Filbert) (Page 159) — 
For a rich display of bronze foliage, there is nothing better than 
the Purple-Leaved Filbert. It is a well-branched small shrub, 
covered from top to bottom with fine coppery bronze leaves which 
lend themselves exceedingly well for use in bouquets. The fine i. 
thin branches cut will last a long time in water, blending per- 
fectly with cut flowers. 4

AMARCRINUM (Page 118) 
The Amarcrinum, a cross between Amaryllis Belladonna ae 
Crinum Moorei, has the appearance of a big Amaryllis. The color 
of its clusters of flowers is an even frosty pink. Great trusses of 
flowers are borne on 3-foot stems. This American creation won 
the coveted Cory Cup of the Royal Horticultural Society of Great 
Britain. Makes a beautiful show in the autumn. 
NEW PASTEL COLORED CANNAS (Pages 124-125) 
Gone are the hard, offensive colors and spindly small blooms 
usually associated with Cannas. Six new hybrids have enormous 
trusses of exquisite flowers in soft, delicate pastel shades of peach, 
old rose, yellow and gold. Individual florets of these superb Cannas 
are larger than those of exhibition Gladioli, often 5 inches or more 
across. For luxurious color and beauty all summer plant a few 
in the border, against a fence or in front of foundation planting. 
Grown in tubs, they are SGN for terrace or roof garden dec- 
oration.
