CYDONIA (Flowering Quince) 
This is one of the earliest blooming shrubs. Quince stand 
alone as specimen shrubs or, trimmed, they make excel- 
lent hedges. Ultimate height reaches 6 feet. The first 
two varieties offered are hybrids. Stock is extremely 
limited on these two. 
Charming Each $3.50, Three $9.75, Doz. $35.00 
Large, soft shell-pink flowers deepening in color at the 
tips of the petals. It’s an orderly plant reaching a height 
of 6 feet at maturity. Shipping plants are about 2 feet 
and will show some bloom the first season. 
Each $4.00, Three $11.00, Doz. $40.00 
This is an English origination, a dwarf — eight-year-old 
specimens are not more than 18 inches high and about 
that measurement in width. In early spring Knaphill 
Scarlet is a small mound of big vermilion-red flowers. 
Its perfect for foreground planting and low hedges. 
Each $2.50, Three $7.00 
This is the best pure white quince. 
Stanford Red Each $3.00, Three $8.50, Doz. $32.00 
The buds open Geranium-red and deepen to blood red. 
It is excellent for cutting and it is almost thornless. Ulti- 
mate height 6 feet. Shipping stock about 2% feet high 
and most will blossom their first season. 
Spitfire (Patent #830) Each $3.00, Three $8.50, Doz. $32.00 
This excellent plant grows upright to 6 or 7 feet but it 
can be held down to 4 or 5 feet by clipping twice a year— 
no side pruning is necessary. Flowers are large and of 
deep crimson-red. Shipping stock is nearly 3 feet high 
and most will bloom the first season. Note that “most/“— 
it’s hard the first season to depend upon a shrub called 
Spitfire. 
Knaphill Scarlet 
Nivalis 
Japonica Each $1.50, Three $4.00, Doz. $15.00 
This is the old favorite. It is covered with masses of coral- 
red flowers and recommended because it is cheap for 
screening or hedging. 
DAPHNE CNEORUM 
Cneorum is also known as The Garland Flower because 
of the profusion of delicately-scented, rose-pink flowers 
it produces. It is a low, spreading shrub which hardly ever 
reaches more than 12 inches in height. A splendid edging 
plant—like all Daphnes, it prefers full sun and a well- 
drained soil. They will not grow in poorly drained loca- 
tions. Water sparingly in summer; and in winter, if pro- 
tected from the coldest weather (say 20 degrees below), 
the cool green leaves will remain evergreen. 
Heavily budded plants, 9-12 inches tall: 
Each $2.00, Three $5.75, Doz. $20.00

DAPHNE SOMERSET 
(Plant Patent #315) 
This is a relatively recent English origination—hardy prac- 
tically anywhere and does well in light shade. Its blooms, 
a blush pink, come in May and early June in clusters 
6-8 inches long that are wonderfully fragrant. If left un- 
clipped it grows to a height of 5 feet and will reach a 
width of about 4 feet. The leaves, resembling those of 
Boxwood, are evergreen except where temperatures are 
extreme. It grows best when transplanted while young 
and we offer potted plants which usually will bloom the 
first year. Much larger Daphne Somerset plants growing 
in big tarpaper pots can be obtained at the Sales Center. 
Young potted plants: Each $2.00, Three $5.75, Doz. $20.00 
DEUTZIA 
All Deutzias are showy flowering shrubs having extremely 
bushy habits of growth. In May their heavy foliage almost 
completely disappears under a blanket of small, frilled, 
bell-like flowers. 
Each $1.50, Three $4.00, Doz. $15.00 
This variety seldom reaches a height of 3 feet and is 
excellent as a low hedge. It is covered in May with flowers 
of purest white and it tolerates light shade. 
Gracilis 
Crenata Suspensa Each $2.00, Three $5.75, Doz. $20.00 
A new hybrid producing larger, single, snow white flowers. 
It grows to 4 feet and makes excellent mid-ground mate- 
rial for the shrub border. 
EVONYMUS 
This is the most versatile and easiest grown of shrubs. It 
has uses everywhere. 
Radicans vegetus Each $2.00, Three $5.75, Doz. $20.00 
Trimmed, it can be grown as a shrub or hedge; left uncut 
and planted around the base of old trees, it will climb 
30 feet or more, densely covering the trunk. As a wall 
cover it is in a class with ivy. You can’t eat it but that’s 
about all you can’t do with it. It is evergreen and abso- 
lutely hardy. 15 to 18 inch plants. 
Alatus compactus Each $2.50, Three $7.00, Doz. $25.00 
A dwarf (ultimate height 6 feet) with unbelievable bril- 
liance of foliage in the autumn. It requires nothing spe- 
cial in soils, does well in shade, is of compact growth— 
all the requirements for the ideal hedge. As specimen 
plants in the lawn or shrub border (or in foundation 
plantings) they have no equal. 
FORSYTHIA 
This is the Bush that grew in Brooklyn—the common varie- 
ties are everywhere and although they are quite beauti- 
ful, Spring Glory is so much more beautiful that we urge 
you to get it instead of accepting a chunk of root from 
a common variety from an obliging neighbor. Spring 
Glory produces twice as many flowers as common For- 
sythia. Also, the blossoms are larger and of a pale yellow 
that is more pleasing than the usual citrons. Like ordinary 
Forsythia, branches cut and brought indoors during Janu- 
ary and February burst into bloom a few days later. 
2 to 3 feet: Each $1.50, Three $4.00, Doz. $15.00 
3 to 4 feet: Each $2.00, Three $5.75, Doz. $20.00 
HAWTHORNS 
(Crataegus Oxyacantha) 
The English Hawthorn is a completely hardy flowering 
shrub or small tree with spreading branches and stout 
spines. Left unclipped it will grow to about 15 feet and 
is ideal for the small lawn where a Maple would be too 
big and throw too much shade. Large clusters of flowers 
are produced in tremendous quantities in the spring and 
are followed by scarlet fruits. 
Autumn Glory Each $4.50, Three $12.50 
Big clusters of white blooms followed by berries of bril- 
liant red which stay well into the winter.
