SPIRAEA 
A very important family of shrubs. Most Spiraeas are sun loving, but 
withstand much abuse in location and soil conditions, and are a source of 
joy and satisfaction. 
Bumalda crispa Each $1.00, Three $2.75, Doz. $8.50 
The ornamental foliage of this Spirea is crested and covers the plant 
heavily, giving a most attractive effect. The flowers are deep crimson- 
red and occur throughout the summer. A choice, low growing shrub 
for foreground planting or a colorful low hedge which requires no 
pruning. Ultimate height about 24 to 30 inches. 
Japonica coccinea Each $1.00, Three $2.75, Doz. $8.50 
Similar in growth and habit to the Anthony Waterer Spirea. The 
flowers of this new variety are much better and richer crimson-red. 
No one will ever again plant the old Anthony Waterer once they have 
seen this fine improvement. Ultimate height about 30 to 36 inches. 
Mongolica (Snowbank Spirea) Each $1.50, Three $4.00, Doz. $15.00 
This is the earliest flowering of the Spireas, in full bloom along with the 
Forsythias. It is a gracefully slender but erect shrub about 4 to 5 feet 
high at maturity. The branches are thin and arching, plentifully be- 
sprinkled with pure white flowers like snow lingering from winter. It is a 
dainty and very beautiful s=rub with feathery fresh green foliage that in 
autumn turns orange and scarlet. Makes a fine informal hedge or 
attractive in groups or singly in the border where its early bloom blends 
beautifully with Daffodils and early blue Scillas. 
TAMARIX - Tamarisk 
Tamarix should be cut back to 6 or 8 inches when transplanted. If this 
is not done, success is doubtful. 
Each $2.00, Three $5.75, Doz. $20.00 
Summer Glow 
There is a lacy loveliness and charm about this lovely shrub not found. 
in any others. The beautiful silvery blue-green foliage is like a veil. A 
sharp and delightful contrast is made by the airy Tyrian rose-pink flower 
spikes which appear on top of the delightful foliage all summer long. The 
flowers and foliage are lovely for cutting. This shrub is also excellent 
for seashore or lakeshore gardens, being very tolerant to! salt air and 
wind. The plants we send out will bloom the first year.’ Ultimate height 
about 8 feet. Can be pruned and kept to 5 or 6 feet if desired. 
VITEX - Chaste Tree 
Macrophylla Each $1.50, Three $4.00, Doz. $15.00 
A graceful shrub with attractive spikes of lovely lavender-blue flowers. 
Blooms profusely from July until fall and grows more than ten feet high 
unless pruned back. It is a most desirable summer-flowering shrub of 
distinctive appearance. Fits in well in the border and is also suitable 
as a lawn plant. Its form, foliage and lilac flowers are very unusual. 
In early spring this plant often appears dead upon first examination. 
The reason for this is that Vitex remains dormant very late and does 
not start into growth until the weather has become quite warm. 
Che Cwo Best (Weigelas 
The Weigelas are an interesting and useful family of shrubs, flowering in May, June and July. The flowers in shape 
may. be likened to those of a Foxglove and are borne in immense quantities. They prefer a moist soil and do not like 
shade or roots of large trees encroaching on them. Otherwise their culture is simple. The average ultimate height of 
most varieties is about 5 to 6 feet.

Fairy (New) 
Each $1.50, Three $4.00, Doz. $15.00 
A handsome shrub for any garden, big 
or small. Grows about 4 feet tall and in 
spring is completely covered with light 
pink blooms which possess a great deptn 
of color and sparkle like pearls. It is 
early flowering and one of the great 
French hybridist Lemoine’s latest and best. 
Bristol Ruby 
(Weigela 
SPRING AND 
AUTUMN FLOWERING 
The color of the flowers is a pleasing 
sparkling ruby-red, shading to garnet- 
crimson. They are produced in immense 
quantities and create a wonderful display 
of colors. After the big spring display is 
past there is again a fine showing of 
bloom throughout the summer and entire 
autumn. Few shrubs produce ‘flowers as 
freely and over so long a period as does 
Bristol Ruby Weigela. It attains a height 
of 6 to 7 feet at maturity, and grows into 
a perfectly formed, well rounded specimen 
requiring very little pruning because it 
flowers well from old wood; no die-back 
or uneven growth at any time. Excellent 
reports from Canada and Vermont and 
other difficult regions fully substantiate 
our own estimate of its unusual hardiness. 
Bristol Ruby is definitely superior to any 
other red Weigela in every respect and 
visitors here at the nursery are quick to 
note its better qualities. 
Original plant of Weigela, Bristol Ruby, successfully wintered 20 degrees below temperatures. 
The most profuse flowering of red Weigelas in spring and flowers intermittently 
throughout the summer and autumn.
