| DEUTZIA 
All Deutzias are showy flowering shrubs of very bushy habit. They 
have many stems rising directly from the root, arching upward and outward, 
thickly covered with foliage which almost completely disappears in May 
under a superabundance of panicles of small, frilled, bell-like flowers. They 
are hardy throughout most of the country.

Seldom more than 2 or 3 feet high. This is one of the prettiest and 
most graceful of all the Deutzias. The plant makes a fountain-like 
bush attractive at all times of the year. In May it is covered with 
| an astcnishing profusion of delicate snowy white flowers. It does well 
in light shade and is well adapted for low edging to walks or paths, 
excellent in clumps in the foreground in the border. 
DEUTZIA CRENATA SUSPENSA 
New Snow-White Deutzia 
Each $1.25, Three $3.50, Doz. $12.00 
This beautiful, strong growing hybrid came to us from France a few 
years ago. It produces large, single, milk-white flowers in handsome 
Pyramidal clusters. Shown in England a few years ago, it received an 
Award of Merit from the Royal Horticultural Society. Its low, pendu- 
lent growth and modest height, 3 to 4 feet, make it an excellent «shrub 
for foreground planting. Last, but not least, is the enormous amount 
of flowers which completely cover the bush at flowering time. 
EUONYMUS 
Alatus compactus (Dwarf Flame) Each $1.50, Three $4.00, Doz. $15.00 
In the Arnold Arboretum in Boston this shrub causes much comment 
each autumn for its unbelievable brilliance of foliage. Its compact 
growth, easy culture, and slow growth make it one of the outstanding 
i shrubs for hedges as well as individual specimens in the garden. Its 
i ultimate height is six feet. Be sure to plant one or more of them in 
your garden for a brilliant autumn foliage display. Does well in shade. 
Monstrosus Each $3.09 
| A rare new shrub particularly interesting during the winter. Its bark is 
} corky and spreads out in big flat wings of most interesting character. 
The common Euonymus alatus does this also but not in the same degree 
as this new variety Monstrosus. Grows beautifully in shade or full sun; 
in autumn its foliage becomes a brilliant, glowing, fiery mass. Ultimate 
height about 5 feet. Grows anywhere and is hardy anywhere. 
Patens 
This is one of the finest and easiest grown evergreen shrubs. Compact 
and shapely, and ultimately about six feet tall. Its foliage is rich green, 
somewhat like that of Euonymus Vegetus and remains on the plant 
practically throughout the entire winter and is quickly replaced by shiny 
new foliage. In spring it is a plant par excellence for growing in shady 
places, under tall trees or in sunless corners. It makes a fine hedge and 
can be pruned any way to suit. Blends beautifully with evergreens, 
rows equally well on acid or alkaline soils and is iron-clad hardy. 
Tn autumn numerous orange berries add to its charm. Transplants 
easily either in fall or spring. Does excellently in shade.
