CORNUS - Dogwood 
Florida (White Dogwood) Each $4.00, Three $11.00, Doz. $40.00 
Nothing we can say will add to the charm, beauty and popularity of 
the white Dogwood. It is THE finest native American small tree. We 
offer well rooted, 4- to 5-foot trees. 
White Cloud 4 to 5 ft., Each $6.00, Three $16.00, Doz. $60.00 
From thousands of seedlings of white Dogwoods, we selected several 
years ago an outstanding variation. This distinctive tree was replanted 
and grown by itself for further observation until we were satisfied we 
had something extra fine in white Dogwoods. It is outstanding in par- 
ticular, for the immense amount of flowers it produces as well as the 
rapidity with which it starts flowering so freely. At opening the flowers 
give a creamy yellow effect which, after a few days, changes over to 
white. When in bloom the tree is literally a white cloud; the foliage is 
almost not to be seen. Instead of just planting ordinary seedling trees, 
particularly when space is limited, try this new variety. It will reward 
you with greater masses of blooms for all your life. 
Pink Dogwood 4 to 5 ft., Each $6.00, Three $16.00, Doz. $60.00 
There are no trees or shrubs which possess a larger measure of attrac- 
tiveness throughout the whole year. The rare pink Dogwood is similar 
in all respects to the common variety except that the flowers are ai 
beautiful shade of pink. A good specimen in full bloom is a magnificent 
Sati in spring. Does well in shade. We offer plants about 4 to 5 feet 
all. 
Many of our customers prefer to plant medium sized trees of Dog- 
wood and we agree with them that the smaller size establishes more 
easily and grows rapidly. We have therefore decided to offer this smaller 
size. 
Pink Dogwood 3-ft. size, Each $4.50, Three $12.50, Doz. $45.00 
White Cloud 3-ft. size, Each $4.50, Three $12.50, Doz. $45.00 
CORYLUS 
Maxima atropurpurea (Purple-Leaved Filbert) 
Each $2.00, Three $5.75, Doz. $20.00 
For ai rich display of bronze foliage there is not much better than the 
Purple Leaved Filbert. It is a much branched shrub covered from top 
to bottom with fine, bronze leaves which make a pleasant break in the 
monotony of the green leaves in the shrubbery border. The richest and 
deepest colors are obtained when it is grown in full sun. It grows well 
in shade but it then loses part of its coloring. Maximum height about 
10 feet. Can be kept any height up to 5 feet with pruning. Hardy 
anywhere! A fine plant for the lawn as a single specimen. Superb foli- 
age for cutting and use with flowers. 
COTONEASTER - The Queen of Shrubs 
All the species of Cotoneaster will thrive either in shade or full sun, and 
are very suitable for growing under trees, ‘“‘clothing’’ north or other walls, 
and for covering wet, dry or shady banks, etc. 
The outstanding characteristics of this genus are the beautiful, conspicu- 
ous clusters of berries, ranging in color from brilliant orange-scarlet, through 
varying shades of red to black, all preceded by the profusion of white or 
pinky white flowers wreathing the branchlets, and also in many species the 
rich autumnal coloring of their foliage. For hedges they are becoming more 
and more popular, Multiflora being especially well adapted for that purpose. 
The under-mentioned list contains most of the best recent introductions 
from China, to which country they are native. 
Apiculata (Cranberry Cotoneaster) 
Each $2.50, Three $7.00, Doz. $25.00 
A beautiful hardy dwarf Cotoneaster from Western China. This little 
known variety grows about four feet high with arching branches 
weighted down during autumn with masses of bright crimson sub-globose 
fruits. The foliage is shiny green and beautiful through the year. Per- 
fectly hardy. 
Divaricata Each $1.75, Three $4.75, Doz. $17.50 
From Central and Western China. 5 to 6 feet high, of graceful spread- 
ing habit; small green polished leaves and red egg-shaped fruits; few 
shrubs can equal its glorious scarlet autumn tints. 
Floribunda Each $1.50, Three $4.00, Doz. $15.00, 
Grows into a beautifully shaped round bush. Branches slightly arching 
and heavily covered with handsome blue-green foliage. It flowers as 
freely as the English Hawthorn and in fall is covered with thousands 
of small brilliant red berries. 
Multiflora (Reflexa) Each $1.50, Three $4.00, Doz. $15.00 
From Western China. Thin-branching shrub, 5 to 8 feet high, of elegant 
habit. As beautiful in bloom as the Hawthorn of the hedgerow. The 
round, bright red fruits ripen in late summer. 
English TFtawthorns 
(Crataegus Oxycantha) 
State regulations forbid the sendina of Crataegus, Cydonia and Malus 
into Colorado and Utah. 
The English Haw or Hawthorn is a lovely flowering shrub or small tree 
about 15 feet high, with spreading branches and stout spines. The leaves 
are broad, the 3 to 5 lobes much toothed. Its flowers are in large clusters 
and produces in immense quantities. The fruits are scarlet. They are 
especially well suited for the small garden or as specimens on the lawn 
where a Maple would be too big and create too much shade. 
Paul’s Scarlet English Hawthorn Each $3.50, Three $9.75, Doz. $35.00 
This is a brilliant rosy red, double-flowered variety. One of the choicest 
ornamental trees in existence. Foolproof and hardy; sure blooming. It 
is a joy to see it each spring. 
Crataegus, Autumn Glory Each $4.50, Three $12.50 
This magnificent Hybrid Thorn grows into a medium sized tree about 
15 to 18 feet high. Makes a shapely head and has deep green foli- 
age. In spring it is very attractive with its many big clusters of white 
blooms. But in early autumn it really is a sight to behold when the 
immense clusters of giant berries turn a brilliant red. In our opinion 
it is even more snectacular than the well known and popular Moun- 
tain Ash. The fruit remains on the tree well into winter. A rare, 
beautiful and unusual small tree you will enjoy in your garden for 
many, many years.

Halus-- - Flowering Crabs 
(State regulations forbid the shipment of Malus and Crataegus 
into the states of Colorado and Utah.) 
Two groups of flowering trees, the Cherries and the Crabs, stand 
far above all others in daintiness and grace. The Japanese Cherries 
are well advertised by the spectacular planting in Washington, D. C., 
but the even lovelier Crab Apples have never received justice at the 
hands of American planters. Crabs are extremely hardy and will thrive 
in positions and exposures which would be fatal to the more delicately 
constituted Cherries. They also exhibit a greater variety in character 
of tree, a wider range of color in their blossoms, and in autumn are 
adorned with glittering clusters of fruit in shades of green, yellow, 
orange, scarlet and crimson. No other flowering trees equal the flow- 
ering Crabs in profusion of bloom, and amongst other good qualities, 
varieties may be selected which have a restricted growth or dwarf 
habit so that they will never become too large and clumsy. 
Arnoldiana Each $2.50, Three $7.00, Doz. $25.00 
Arnold’s Crab was originated in the Arnold Arboretum at Boston. and 
was evidently a seedling from some of the many beautiful varieties 
which are planted there. The semi-double flowers are pink, turning 
white after a few days, and droop gracefully in long-stalked clusters. 
In the autumn the tree is adorned with pendulous clusters of waxy yel- 
low fruits abcut the size of a Cherry. Its habit is compact and it is 
seldom more than 10 to 12 feet high. 
Floribunda Each $2.50, Three $7.00, Doz. $25.00 
Is “the” favorite. It is of spreading growth and prolific flowering. The 
blossoms are a light pink blending into a white, followed by an abun- 
dance of yellowish green fruit relished by the birds. The flower buds 
are very beautiful, displaying a brilliant pink before bursting into early 
bloom. A handsome and very attractive variety. As pink is probably 
the favorite color in the garden, Floribunda has always enjoyed great 
popularity. It biooms when about 12 inches high. 
Floribunda atropurpurea Each $2.50, Three $7.00, Doz. $25.00 
In habit it exactly resembles Fioribunda, but it is much more brilliant 
than that variety. The flowers are red and when this tree is in bloom 
it will stop every passer-by. The bronzy red foliage also contributes 
mightily to its showiness and beauty: In the autumn when the thousands 
of small Apples turn red you again behold a lovely sight. It is a strong 
grower and will bloom profusely on small plants. In fact, the flowers are 
so profuse they completely hide all twigs and branches. 
Floribunda Hillieri Each $5.00 . 
This handsome new English Crab will soon replace the common Flori- 
bunda. The flowers are almost an inch in diameter and semi-double; 
crimson in bud, opening a beautiful shade of bright pink, wreathing the 
arching stems in clusters of from 5 to 8 flowers. It blooms late and 
prolonas the flowering season by several days. One of the best of the 
double Crabs. Ultimate height, about 10 to 12 feet. 
Hopa Each $3.00, Three $8.50, Doz. $32.00 
Beautiful in bloom, beautiful in foliage, beautiful in fruit. In the spring 
it is completely covered with the fragrant, bright pink flowers. From 
midsummer till severe freezing, the clusters of small, red Crab Apples 
gleam brightly along the branches. This fruit makes very fine jelly. 
In the spring the foliage is a rich maroon. Perfectly hardy, easy to grow, 
thriving in any soil. 
Toensis plena Each $3.00, Three $8.50, Doz. $32.00 
Bechtel’s Crab is a double form of the Wild Crab Apple of the Missis- 
sippi Valley. The original plant was discovered near Staunton, Illinois, 
in 1850, and was brought into cultivation about forty years later by 
a man named Bechtel. It is a robust, round-headed tree with double, 
pale pink flowers about 2 inches across, exactly like little Roses. They 
have a delicate violet scent. 
Kaido or Fragrant Crab Each $5.00 
This is an indispensable, noted for its deliciously fragrant, soft pink 
flowers. It blooms early and the exquisite coloring of its rose-pink buds 
and rich clear pink flowers makes it one of the finest small pink flow- 
ered trees. In growth it is decidedly upright, in fact, almost pyramidal 
and when fully grown will be about 8 to 10 feet in height, and not much 
more than 4 feet across. A rare tree which we are happy to be able to 
offer at last. We send 4-year-old trees, about 3 to 4 feet high. 
Pink Weeper Crab Each $3.00, Three $8.50, Doz. $32.00 
This is an unusually handsome Weeping Flowering Crab. The main stem 
is upright. The branches are weeping and droop onto the ground. The 
effect is like a fountain and when in bloom in spring, a picture not 
easily forgotten. Makes a perfect small specimen tree for the lawn. 
The flowers are crimson-purple when open; the buds blood-red. A beau- 
tiful flowering, small, weeping tree. Its attractiveness is prolonged by 
its fruit until late in the fall. Ultimate height 12 to 15 feet. We offer 
nicely shaped trees about 4 to 5 feet. 
Purpurea Lemoinei Each $3.00, Three $8.50, Doz. $32.00 
The bronze-red leaves make an excellent background for huge masses 
of deep crimson flowers which are followed by small red fruits. This 
worthy hybrid received an Award of Merit at the Royal Horticultural 
Society in London. 
Scheideckeri Each $2.50, Three $7.00, Doz. $25.00
