VANGUARD (venator x Griersonianum) 
An excellent hybrid from the Marquis of Headfort’s garden. 
Medium compact in habit with graceful trusses of scarlet. 
funnel shaped flowers. Both parents are first rate species and 
their offspring is certainly a beauty. Blooms in May. 
9”-12" $6.00; 12-15" $7.00 
VULCAN (Mars x Griersonianum) Bite roms 
This hybrid is an excellent combination of two first class 
parents. From its performance, we would say it has inherited 
all the finer qualities from both sides. It attains maturity at 
around 6 feet, has a rounded habit, dark green pointed leaves, 
and the numerous rounded trusses are an intense scarlet. We 
were pleasantly surprised to discover that it withstood 10 
degrees below zero and showed no damage to either foliage or 
flower buds. 9"-12" $5.00; 12”-15" $6.00 
Lavender and Blue Shades 
AUGUSTINII Cues 
A species from approximately 10,000 ft. altitude in S. W 
China. It eventually becomes a compact shrub about 6 feet in 
height and about the same in width. As the young growth de- 
velops, the narrow pointed leaves have a lovely bronze cast 
to them before they turn to a pleasing shade of soft green 
The flowers, which appear in May are in clusters of 3 and 
occur in such profusion as to almost obscure the foliage. Each 
blossom is about 2% inches wide, flattish in shape, and with 
stamens and pistil long exserted. We are confident that this 
will become one of the most popular blue evergreen, flower- 
ing shrubs in the garden. 9”-12" $4.00; 12’-15" $5.00
