Look carefully around your garden. Do you find any common, overgrown shrubs or out-of-size bushes? These may be 
detracting from the beauty of your garden as a whole. Rather than assets, they quite likely are liabilities to other 
flowers growing nearby. Their long roots take valuable moisture and plant food from the soil, badly needed by other "y 
plants. Their branches may cast too much shade over other flowers, depriving them of essential sunlight and prevent- 
ing them from developing to the fullest extent of their beauty . . . Such shrubs and Puan that have grown too large 
for the space originally set aside for them should be removed as quickly as possible. Give your garden a “facial” by 
removing this overgrown and undesirable material, at the same time give yourself the pleasant sensation of having 
acquired an entirely new picture in your garden. 
Of definite superiority are Lemoine’s new Mockoranges and new Lilacs, as well as the new Weigelas and new 
Viburnums. 
Small trees of particular merit are the Flowering Crabs. Resembling but far surpassing Japanese Cherry Trees, they 
are noted for color, hardiness and beauty of bloom. Laburnum Vossi, a neat small tree with golden flowers, Paul’s 
Scarlet Thorn or the new Crimson Glory Thorn and Magnolias are but a few of the interesting things for the small | 
garden. 
No finer or more carefully selected collection of Flowering Shrubs and Ornamental Trees is available anywhere. 
Make vour selection TODAY as all are popular favorites. You will find that such “replacements” will complement the 
flowers in your garden, giving the latter an entirely new appearance.

ACER - Japanese Red-Leaved Maple 
Palmatum atropurpureum Each $2.50, Three $7.00, Doz. $25.00 
Magnificent purple-red foliage, gracefully laciniated; one of the best 
of small-leaved shrubs. It is attractive at all seasons and makes a 
handsome specimen on the lawn or a colorful group in the foreground 
of the shrub border. We offer 2'4- to 3-foot plants. 
Atropurpureum dissectum Each $5.00 
(Purple Threadleaf Japanese Maple). Magnificent purple-red foliage, 
gracefully laciniated; one of the best of small-leaved shrubs. It is 
attractive at all seasons and makes a handsome specimen on the lawn 
or a colorful group in the foreground of the shrub border. We furnish 
4-year-old plants from pots about 12 to 15 inches high and well 
branched. 
ALTHEA; HIBISCUS - Rose of Sharon 
Erect growing shrubs of stately and formal shape, particularly well suited 
for screens or specimens in the shrub border. They bloom from July to frost 
and give color when most other shrubs have finished blooming. We offer ~ 
three beautiful varieties of recent introduction, practically unknown, and 
in our estimation the three best. Their ultimate height is about 10 feet. \ 
Celestial Blue Each $1.25, Three $3.50, Doz. $12.00 
A magnificent, distinct and truly blue Althea. The gorgeous single 
disk-like blue flowers are produced in large amounts. Planted with our 
white variety, Snowdrift, it makes a most handsome color effect in the 
summer border. Plants we send out will bloom this year. 
Jeanne d’Arc Each $1.25, Three $3.50, Doz. $12.00 
Large, disc-like, pure white flowers with a small tuft of short white 
petals in the center. The flowers open flat and are produced in great 
numbers from early July until frost. The plants we send out will bloom 
the first year. 
Rubis Each $1.25, Three $3.50, Doz. $12.00 
Very large, wide-open, deep rose-pink flowers with deeper center. The 
best and most brilliant of the pink shaded Althea. Infinitely better than 
the ordinary double varieties in common use. 
CALLICARPA - Violet Jewel Berry 
Purpurea Each $1.50, Three $4.00, Doz. $15.00 
Gracefully recurving branches, covered in August with thousands of 
closely set, small, pink tinted flowers. These are followed in late 
September by masses of violet- purple berries which last until mid- 
winter. There are few shrubs which give as much pleasure in the garden 
or which are so satisfactory for cutting. Ultimate height about five 
feet. We offer nice plants that will bear fruit at once.
