BRONZE-LEAVED SUMAC 
Rhus Cotinus Rubrifolius Each $2.00 
Here we have the rare bronze-leaved and “/bronze-plumed’’ Smoke 
Tree. The common Smoke Tree is too well known, nothing more need 
be said about it except that it has been a favorite garden shrub for 
hundreds of years. The bronze-leaved form has handsome bronze 
tinted foliage and a bronze colored so-called plume or smoke. It is 
one of the outstanding shrubs in our nursery and has caused a great 
deal of comment. We are sure that this rare shrub will make a fine 
display in your garden. We offer nice bushes about 3 to 4 feet tail. 
ROBINIA - Rose-Acacia 
Monument (Pyramidal Rose-Acacia) Each $3.50, Three $9.75

bardy Poplar. And because of this unsual habit we have a small flow- 
ering tree that can be grown in every garden, big or little. It may be 
used as a small lawn specimen or in the shrub border where it will not 
crowd or harm plants near by. During late May and June it is covered 
with drooping clusters of deep rose-colored flowers resembling pea- 
blossoms. Will grow in any soil anywhere. Ultimate height about 10 to 
12 feet. We offer nice plants about six feet.

Bronze-Leaved Sumac 
Rhus Cotinus Pyracantha Firethorn 
! Coccinea|Palind: Each $2.00, Three $5.75, Doz. $20.00 
A most remarkable fruiting evergreen shrub. Bears attractive large 
trusses of white flowers during the late spring followed by an abun- 
dance of brilliant orange-scarlet berries which remain late into the 
winter. A marvelous plant for foundation planting where soil is dry. 
The long shoots it makes can be used as a vine over a doorway or 
along a window casing. The plants can be trimmed to fit any position. 
It is difficult to transplant field-grown or large plants. We therefore 
send young stock from 6-inch pots which will reach a height of 2 to 3 
feet the first year. It prefers a warm, well-drained location.
