BEAUTIFUL FLOWERING SHRUBS 
GIANT BEAUTIFUL BLUE ALTHEA 
This gorgeous, unusually attractive shrub is truly an Aristocrat. It is ex- 
ceedingly beautiful and picturesque. This rare new variety flowers late in 
summer after most other shrubs are out of bloom. The large flowers are often 
three inches across, and every branch is completely covered with lustrous lovely 
blue flowers from June until frost. Unlike most other flowers as the season 
advances it becomes more gorgeous and the vivid pure blue becomes more out- 
standing. Here is a shrub that will thrive under the’ most unfavorable condi- 
tions. It is not particular of the kind of soil, does well in low damp places and 
thrives in poor soil where there is but little moisture. It adapts itself to either 
sun or shade. Heavy 18-24 inch transplants, 65c each; 3 for $1.80. 
CALYCANTHUS (The Sweet-Scented Shrub)—A fragrant shrub with chocolate 
colored flowers and shiny green leaves. Blooms nearly all summer. Grows to 
a height of about 8 to 10 feet. Should be set 4 to 5 feet apart in ordinary soil. 
18 to 24 inch plants, 65c each; 3 for $1.50. 
RED LEAF BARBERRY—There is nothing 
i so strikingly brilliant in hardy shrubbery as ‘ 
our genuine true-red strain of Red-Leaf Bar- 
berry. Its abundance of thick, purplish-ma- 
roon leaves glisten in the sun, contrasting with 
; the green and yellow of other plants. Valu- 
§ able for single specimens, corner groups, and solid border hedges. Leaves bud 
; out early poets and remain into winter. Bush is covered with red berries which 
) last all winter.
