PHILADELPHUS (Mockorange) 
Atlas (Giant Mockorange) Each $2.50, Three $7.50 
It is the flowers that are giants, not the plants, although 
they will attain a considerable size if not pruned. The 
huge blossoms (3 inches across) are as large as Dogwood 
blooms and they make excellent cut flowers—so you will 
prune. Philadelphus is hardy, requiring no special culture. 
Enchantment (Double) Each $3.00, Three $8.50 
Its branches are erect and on maturity the bush rarely 
grows over 6 feet. The flowers, set very closely, are 
double and sweetly fragrant. It will grow well in tight 
shade. 
Innocence Each $2.50, Three $7.00 
An alabaster-white mockorange producing heavily. 
Flowers are delicately fragrant. Height at maturity is 
about 6 feet. 
SPIRAEA 
A fine group of shrubs that are sun-loving but able to 
withstand almost any abuse in location and soil condition. 
Each $1.00, Three $2.75, Doz. $8.50 
This replaces the older variety Anthony Waterer. Its 
flowers are crimson-red. It blooms in July, normally a bare 
month for blooms in shrubbery. The color does not fade 
in the sun and if old flowers are cut off it will continue 
to bloom all summer. Coccinea reaches 3 feet in height. 
Vanhouttei (Bridalwreath) 
Each $1.50, Three $4.00, Doz. $15.00 
An arching shrub growing about 5 to 6 feet. The slender 
branches are covered with panicles of white flowers in 
late May and early June. It is not new but it is a favorite. 
Japonica Coccinea 
WEIGELA 
Lovely shrubs flowering in May, June and July. Their Fox- 
glove-like flowers are borne in profusion. Most Weigela 
like a moist soil and should stand without competition 
from the shade or roots of large trees. 
Eva Ratke Each $1.50, Three $4.00, Doz. $15.00 
Crimson flowers. This plant flowers heavily in June and 
intermittently until frost. Requires a well-drained soil and 
grows to about 8 feet; shipping plants about 3 feet. 
MAGNOLIA 
Each $4.50, Three $12.50 
The rather rare Pink Magnolia of city gardens. It is a 
small tree, perfectly hardy, that produces shining green 
foliage after it is covered with enormous pinkish-white, 
slightly fragrant flowers in early spring. It is the showiest 
and best of the family for northern gardens and even 
one plant will dominate a garden or a city block when 
it becomes sizeable. Our stock is 2-3 feet high.

ROSA MULTIFLORA 
(The Living Fence) 
This fencing material is primarily for farmers or for estate 
owners who have need for permanent fences. Plant it 
1 foot apart and in three years cattle or sheep cannot 
get through it. Plant on 6-inch centers and not a hog can 
pass. It grows 8 feet high, spreads 8 feet. Roots, how- 
ever, do not spread. For its purpose, permanent fencing, 
it is perfect. (For full details ask for our special folder.) 
We no longer offer bare-root, seedling stock—too many 
people have difficulty with it. We sell only heavily-rooted, 
potted cuttings from selected stock. 
25, $5.00; 50, $9.00; 100, $16.50; 500, $75.00 
(Note: We are sold out for fall, 1951; order now for spring.) 
BUDDLEIAS (Butterfly Shrubs) 
An eminently satisfactory shrub that makes a quick 
growth and blooms the first year. Buddleias do not show 
signs of growth until late spring or until the weather has 
become quite warm—so don’t worry if they don’t leaf 
out quickly. It is true that butterflies are attracted to 
them. These are the newest varieties. 
Each $1.00, Three $2.75 
Neat habit of growth—about 5 feet high, 4 feet across. 
Foliage is a dark, leathery green. Flower spikes are 
12-18 inches long and rounded. Color is lilac with a 
brilliant orange eye in each tiny flower. Blooms from 
mid-summer to frost. Excellent cut flower. 
Flaming Violet (Pat. #519) Each $1.00, Three $2.75 
A violet color of great intensity. Blooms until frost and 
keeps a long time when cut. 
Fascinating 
Fortune 
Each $1.00, Three $2.75 
Here the color is a soft pink with a touch of gold in the 
eyes. Keeps in water and the more it is cut the more it 
grows. 
Peace (Pat. #705) Each $1.00, Three $2.75 
A pure white. It’s new. A favorite of ours. 
Purple Prince (Pat. #706) Each $1.00, Three $2.75 
A sparkling, imperial purple with a golden eye. 
White Profusion (Pat. #786) Each $1.00, Three $2.75 
A dwarf. Makes a stunning green mound (diameter: 3 
feet) studded with shortish white spikes. Fits perfectly in 
the perennial border or is useful as a specimen anywhere. 
AZALEA PONTICA 
(Hardy Ghent Azaleas) 
These are even hardier than Azalea Mollis (see Page 15) 
but their blooming time, soil requirements and general 
~ Daviesi 
habit of growth are the same. Their special merit, besides 
extreme hardiness, is the unusual range of colors in the 
group. While the flowers are not as large as Mollis, they 
have equal brilliance and to many fanciers their varia- 
tions of tint are more spectacular. Plants offered are 12 
to 15 inches high with flowering buds. 
Bouquet de Flore Each $3.00, Three $7.75 
Brilliant clusters of deep pink. 
Each $4.00, Three $11.00 
Almost white with traces of pink. 
Nancy Waterer Each $3.00, Three $7.75 
Clusters of golden yellow. 
Sang de Gentbrugge Each $4.00, Three $11.00 
The most vivid and brilliant red you ever saw. 
FLOWERING ALMOND 
Glandulosa Alba Each $2.00, Three $5.75 
Small, very double white rosettes of flowers in great pro- 
fusion in late April and early May. Ultimate height: 
4 to 5 feet. 
Glandulosa Rosea 
Very double, rose-colored form of the above. 
HYPERICUM 
There are several varieties of this fine low-growing shrub 
that flowers brilliantly from early summer until stopped 
by frost. They make excellent specimen plantings in the
