ILEX - Holly 
Convexa (Crenata bullata) 
12-15 in., with ball of earth - Each $3.00, Three $8.50, Doz. $32.00 
15-18 in., with ball of earth Each $4.00, Three $11.00, Doz. $40.00 
This is one of the choicest of evergreens and was introduced into this 
country in 1919 by E, H. (Chinese) Wilson. It has taken many years of 
effort to produce this little beauty in quantities, but now it’s here for 
you to enjoy. It is very bushy, has shiny dark green, Boxwood-like foli- 
age somewhat convex and it grows about 4 feet high and 3 feet across. 
The glossy leaves are so profuse that twigs are invisible. Left to itself it 
grows “informally formal’ and blends beautifully with other evergreens. 
As a small “accent’’ plant it is faultless. For small hedges it is a jewel, 
particularly in cold climates where Boxwood is impossible, but it is much 
too rare yet to be used for that purpose. An absolute ‘’must’’ for every 
garden. Does well in light shade or full sun and is equally happy on 
alkaline or acid soil, and last but not least, it is as hardy as an Oak. 
Glabra Each $4.00, Three $11.00, Doz. $40.00 
The Inkberry is a loose, spreading shrub, 4 to 5 feet high at maturity, 
with shining dark green leaves and a profusion of glittering black 
berries through the winter. It is an excellent plant for hedges in shady 
situations. It may also be effectively used as individual plants mixed 
with evergreens or in front of the shrubbery border. 
Serrata (Sieboldi) Each $3.00, Three $8.50, Doz. $32.00 
This is the deciduous Holly. It is slow growing and ultimately reaches 
a height of about 10 feet. In winter, after the leaves have been shed, 
it is one of the most showy shrubs because of the persistent brilliant 
red berries which hang on practically all winter. They make a cheerful 
showing outside against the snow and are charming for cutting and 
winter decorations. 
KERRIA 
Japonica flora plena Each $1.50, Three $4.00, Doz. $15.00 
Double Kerria is sometimes called the Globe Flower because the choice 
double golden flowers have a ball-like shape not unlike the button 
Chrysanthemums. The plant grows vigcrously and attains a maximum 
height of 4 to 5 feet. It is bushy in habit with many bright green 
stems, attractive all winter. Give it a sunny location in front of the 
border and its golden yellow blooms all summer will be a _ pleasure. 
The flowers last well in water and are excellent for cutting. 
KOLKWITZIA - Beauty Bush 
Amabilis Each $2.00, Three $5.75, Doz. $20.00 
A handsome flowering shrub which came from China. While upright in 
growth its branches at the ends are arching, almost pendulent, so that 
they cover the ground about them and never look ‘’leggy’’ and bare. It 
is perfectly hardy anywhere, has excellent foliage and in June is a 
fountain of bell-shaped, light pink flowers not unlike the Weigela. 
Grows anywhere and does exceedingly well in dry, sandy, poor soil. 
Kolkwitzias do not bloom the first year or two after planting. Ultimate 
height about 7 to 8 feet. 
LABURNUM - Golden Chain 
Vossi Each $5.00, Three $14.00, Doz. $50.00 
Long-clustered Golden Chain. Small ornamental tree with green bark 
and foliage like exaggerated Clover leaves. Flowers are pure golden 
yellow and formed exactly like those of Wisteria. The hanging clusters 
are 18 to 20.inches long and are borne very profusely in late spring. 
Very beautiful. Usually bloom the first year after: planting. 
LAGERSTROEMIA INDICA - Crapemyrtle 
(Not hardy North. Offered for our southern customers only.) 
Crapemvyrtle will sometimes remain dormant, not putting out foliage for 
a year. Keep the plants watered and soil loosened. Severe pruning is 
recommended to keep plants in shape. This should be done in February. 
This popular free-flowering shrub is perhaps one of the loveliest plants of 
the South. Its magnificent flowers throughout the hot summer give to 
gardens a gaiety not possible to duplicate with anything else. All are hardy 
south of Baltimore. 
Wm. Toovey Each $1.50, Three $4.00, Doz. $15.00

flowers. Distinct and attractive foliage helps make this a beautiful 
flowering shrub.

Soulange’s Magnolia, sometimes called the Saucer Magnolia for no 
reason at all, is the rather rare Pink Magnolia of city gardens and 
parks. It makes a small tree with gorgeous shining foliage and in 
early spring produces its enormous, pinkish white flowers, more or less 
purplish outside and slightly fragrant. This Magnolia is the showiest of 
the family -for planting in northern gardens, and when in bloom, even 
one plant will dominate the garden—yes, the neighborhood, if it is a 
sizeable specimen. A whole street in Rochester, lined with this variety, 
is a mecca for all enthusiasts every spring. We offer flowering plants 
with a lot of buds. 
Soulangeana Nigra Bushy plants about 5 feet, Each $12.00 
It is a good ornamental for small gardens as it is slow- to develop. Even 
on quite small plants, the stiff short growths bear many large deep 
wine-red colored flowers (the darkest of the family), from mid-March 
to the end of May. : 5 
Soulangeana Alexandrina Bushy plants about 5 feet, Each $12.00 
A strong grower with spreading branches, freely producing during May 
and June many showy white flowers, each with a purple-red stain at 
the base outside. 
MAHONIA 
Aquifolium Each $2.00, Three $5.75, Doz. $20.00 
This is more popularly known as the Oregon Holly-Grape. It has shiny, 
large, spiny, metallic looking leayes which turn a bronzy red in 
autumn. In spring the clusters of yellow flowers are very attractive. 
These flowers are followed by blue fruit in June and July. We consider 
it one of the most attractive evergreens of easy cultivation. Does 
perfectly in north exposure in plantings of evergreens. Ultimate height 
about 213 to 3 feet, dependinng on location where grown. Does not 
mind shade and has very ornamental foliage for cutting. 
PACHISTIMA 
Canbyi Each 75c, Three $2.00, Doz. $6.00, 100 $40.00 
This small holly-leaved prostrate little evergreen shrub spreads about 
18 inches. Several planted together make a perfectly charming ground 
cover. It grows equally well in sun or shade and is hardy anywhere. Be- 
cause of its ease of culture and fine habit without any care, it is rapidly 
becoming first choice as a cover for graves as well as in small shady 
places in the garden. As a ground cover, plants should be spaced 6 
inches apart. 
POTENTILLA 
Gold Drop Each $2.00, Three $5.75, Doz. $20.00 
A charming small shrub of such compact growth as to resemble a small 
irregular shaped mound about 2 to 2145 feet high. It is closely and 
densely covered with small, fernlike leaves and studded with intensely 
brilliant gcelden yellow, Buttercup-like flowers from early June until 
October. This delightful small shrub may be used in front of the shrub 
border or in the foreground of any perennial planting. It does best in 
full sun and is hardy in below zero temperatures. The original plant 
we selected from the common Potentilla Fruticosa. It is far superior 
both in flowering qualities, habit and general appearance. We know 
of no shrubs which flower so consistently and remain so cheerfully 
brilliant throughout the entire summer and fall. Spaced 12 inches apart 
in a single row it will make one of the most charming informal hedges 
that can-be imagined. 
Lemon Drop (Ochroleuca) Each $1.50, Three $4.00, Doz. $15.00 
A graceful, small, 3-foot high shrub, upright in growth, yet compact. 
Foliage is dense and fernlike in effect. From early June until November 
the plants are studded with lemon-yellow, chalice-like blooms. A splen- 
did low-growing and graceful shrub for foreground planting. Fits in 
perfectly with perennial plants in the hardy border. Prefers a sunny 
location. Is hardy in below zero temperatures.
