The very best. ; 
Lilac, Ludwig Spaeth. -Purple Violet. This fine variety 
is one of the best and most popular. Opens as deep rich 
red and turns through a purple to a deep violet. Well 
formed flowers, excellent for cutting. Prolific bloomer. 
MAPLE, Red Ginnala. A dwarf shrub-like form of Si- 
berian Maple. Hardy, very drouth resistant. Finely cut 
small maple leaves, very ornamental with reddish seed 
pods and brilliant autumn foliage. 
MOCK ORANGE, Philadelphus. The old local orange is 
out-dated. The plant breeders have given us much finer 
improved torms. These we list below are far more beau- 
tiful. They bloom heavily and in prolific masses. These 
are hardy and thrifty. 
M. O. Virginal. Magnificent new variety with good 
foliage and compact habit. Flowers are semi-double. 
Very large cups and sweetly fragrant. One of the most 
popular known shrubs today. fpaeat C: 
M. O. Mont Blanc. White Mountain. One of the most 
satisfactory of new types. The white cupped flowers 
surround large golden stamin and grow in striking clus- 
ters. Very fragrant, thrifty, and hardy. The most satis- 
factory to plant in this territory. 
M. O. LeMoine. White Mantle. A dwarfish form, 
slender branches, small leaves, dense growing, masses of 
small white cupped flowers. An ideal semi-dwarf shrub 
for the border. y 
NINEBARK, Dwarf. A beautiful dwarf shrub from the 
Rocky Mountains. Flowers and foliage almost identical 
with Spirea Van Houttei, but half the size. Turns to 
searlet autumn colors. Ideal for hedge or border. 
SNOWBALL. This eastern variety behaves poorly in 
most western climates. It thrives best in moist condi- 
tions. Many are planted but few remain. It is subject to 
many pests. 
SNOWBERRY, Symphoricarpos Racemosus. Graceful, 
spreading shrub. 3 to 5 ft. Flowers are followed by white 
berries which remain on the bush until winter. Excellent 
for grouping or massing. Will succeed in dense shade and 
poor soil where practically nothing else will grow. 
SPIREA. The Spirea is a large family. They furnish 
flowers from early spring until mid-summer. Most 
Spireas have refined foliage with interesting autumn 
colors and leaves that hang until winter. The following 
are the best of the Spirea family: 
Spirea Billardi. Vigorous growing member of Spirea 
family with branches thrust upright. Bright pink flowers 
in spikes during autumn. Extremely hardy and drought 
‘resistant. 4 ft. [ 7 
SP. Froebelli, Red Dwarf. This low plant supplies 
red flowers in the shrub border in midsummer when most 
shrubs’ bloom has past. Foliage turns purple in fall. A 
graceful shrub for every garden. 2 ft. ‘ : 
SP. Snow Garland. The Snow Garland is the first of 
the Spirea family to bloom. In early spring, while tulips 
are still in flower and before the leaves are out, it bursts 
into full bloom with a profusion of white flowers that 
cover its graceful branches like a bank of snow. It is 
ideal to plant in front of Spirea Van Houttei. As its 
flowers begin to fade, it seems to pass to the unfolding 
Bridal Wreath, thus giving six weeks of the much desired 
Spirea bloom. The foliage of this plant is very attractive, 
producing pleasing autumn colors and much of the foliage 
is retained into the winter. Perfectly hardy. This is our 
most popular shrub and the ‘‘best seller”. 5 
SP. Van Houttei, Bridal Wreath. The well known “bri- 
dal-wreath” of grandmother’s garden. The long branches, 
curving and reaching to the ground, are covered the en- 
tire length with lovely white blossoms, like a great foun- 
tain of snow. It begins to blossom about the time the 
Snow Garland is through. Extremely hardy. will thrive 
anywhere. Can be used in any location. Good for hedges. 
SP. Sorbifolia. Splendid Spirea with large bright green 
leaves resembling those of the Mountain Ash. Produces 
a world of great white feathery blooms about six inches 
long by four inches in diameter. 3 ft. 
Aardy Roses 
The new hardy Rugosa Roses are among the triumphs of 
plant scientists. The story is a romance of plant life. The 
wild Rugosas are found high up the mountain sides of 
Japan, crowding the snow line. The flowers are large 
and foliage a dark glossy green like Southern Holly. 
Scientists have crossed these with the best tender roses 
to give us a new breed of double roses, with large flowers 
and glossy attractive foliage. These make fine bushes
