Shrubs 
B660 PRUNUS TRILOBA (Rose Tree of China). 
A mass of double, rose-like blossoms in 
apple-blossom pink before the leaves come 
out, this is one of the loveliest of the early 
spring flowering shrubs. If desired, it can 
be developed into a dwarf tree to accent 
the border planting. Very hardy. 6 to 8 
feet high at maturity. 18-24 inch shrub, 
$1.00 each; 3 for $2.70, postpaid. Tree form, 
2-3 ft., $1.50 each, prepaid. 
B651 BEAUTY BUSH (Kolkwitzia). A very 
hardy tall-growing shrub, 6 to 8 feet. This 
is one of the more beautiful of the spring 
flowering shrubs. Its gracefully arching 
branches are completely covered with 
lovely pink flowers in early spring. Slower 
to bloom than many, but the beauty is 
more than worth waiting for. Heavy 18-24 
inch, 95c each; 3 for $2.50, postpaid. 
B648 FORSYTHIA (Goldenbell). Few, if any, 
of the hardy spring flowering shrubs can 
surpass the splendor and brilliancy of 
Forsythia. Of upright, vigorous growth, 
foliage rich, dark green and_ lustrous. 
Flowers brilliant golden yellow, borne in 
great profusion early in April before the 
leaves appear. Extra-heavy 18-24 inches, 
50c each; 3 for $1.35, postpaid. 
B657 PRUNUS NEWPORT. (Purple-leaved 
Plum.) One of the most striking tall-growing 
shrubs. Slender and stately, it has beauti- 
ful dark red foliage in early spring, this 
turning to deep purple-green for the entire 
summer. It is a most effective accent point 
in any shrub planting, with its distinctive 
coloring and form of a pyramidal evergreen. 
2-3 ft., $1.35 each, postpaid.

PRUNUS TRILOBA 
B633 HYDRANGEA A.G. (Hills of Snow.) The 
pure white, July blooming variety. Heavy. 
18-24 inches, 90c each; 3 for $2.50, postpaid. 
Quick show, 2-3 ft., $1.35 each; 3 for $3.75,

B634 HYDRANGEA P.G. Blooms in late Au- 
gust and September, giant blooms lovely 
with their bronze tinge. Often dried and 
used in winter bouquets. Heavy 18-24 inch, 
80c each; 3 for $2.25, postpaid. Quick 
show, 2-3 ft., $1.25 each; 3 for $3.25, not 
postpaid. 
B635 BLUE HYDRANGEA. These lovely shrubs 
were hardy only in the South, but we now 
have developed a hardier strain for colder 
areas. If your soil has enough acid, the 
huge blooms will be a lovely shade of blue. 
As the acid content of the soil weakens the 
blooms become pink—still a lovely shade. 
But to help you keep the blue color, we will 
include a small bag of Aluminum Sulphate 
to be worked into the ground as you plant. 
You will have to make additional feedings 
from time to time. Give these shrubs win- 
ter protection. A 10 to 12 inch mulch is 
advised. 2-year, field grown plants, $1.50 
each, postpaid.
