Bronze-Leaved Sumac 
Rhus Cotinus 
Pyracantha Coccinea Lalandi in Bloom in Spring 
Py Yacdahe tf q, Firethorn , 
Coccinead ated: Each $2.00, Three $5.75, Doz. $20.00 
A most remarkable fruiting evergreen shrub. Bears attractive large 
trusses of white flowers during the late spring followed by an abun- 
dance of brilliant orange-scarlet berries which remain late into the 
winter. A marvelous plant for foundation planting where soil is dry. 
The long shoots it makes can be used as a vine over a doorway or 
along a window casing. The plants can be trimmed to fit any position. 
It is difficult to transplant field-grown or large plants. We therefore 
send young stock from 6-inch pots which will reach a height of 2 to 3 
feet the first year. It prefers a warm, well-drained location. 
BRONZE-LEAVED SUMAC 
Rhus Cotinus Rubrifolius Each $3.00, Three $8.50, Doz. $32.00 
Here we have the rare bronze-leaved and ‘’bronze-plumed’’ Smoke 
Tree. The common Smoke Tree is too well known, nothing more need 
be said about it except that it has been a favorite garden shrub for 
hundreds of years. The bronze-leaved form has handsome bronze 
tinted foliage and a bronze colored so-called plume or smoke. It is 
one of the outstanding shrubs in our nursery and has caused a great 
deal of comment. We are sure that this rare shrub will make a fine 
display in your garden. We offer nice bushes about 3 to 4 feet tail. 
ROBINIA - Rose-Acacia 
Monument (Pyramidal Rose-Acacia) Each $4.00, Three $11.00 
* The habit of growth of this Rosa-Acacia is not unlike that of the Lom- 
bardy Poplar. And because of this unusual habit we have a small flow- 
ering tree that can be grown in every garden, big or little. It may be 
used as a small lawn specimen or in the shrub border where it will not 
crowd or harm plants near by. During late May and June it is covered 
with drooping clusters of deep rose-colored flowers resembling pea- 
blossoms. Will grow in any soil anywhere. Ultimate height about 10 to 
12 feet. We offer nice plants about six feet. 
SALIX - Willow 
French Pussy Willow

grounds. Cut the ends of the branches in January or February. Place 
them indoors in a vase of water. Watch them unfold their large catkins 
of silver-pink, from 1 to 2 inches long. They will repay you many times 
their cost in pleasure. Ultimate height 10 feet. Cut back branches to 
6 inches when planting and each spring after catkins have formed to 
promote long, vigorous new canes.

in the rock garden. 
SORBUS - Mountain Ash 
Each $5.00, Three $14.00, Doz. $50.00 
This prolificly fruiting variety resembles the well known Mountain Ash 
very closely. It does not grow quite as tall, only 20 to 25 feet, but pro- 
duces twice the amount of flowers and fruit. The branches literally bend 
under the brilliant loads of orange fruits. This small tree can be grown 
in every small garden without damaging nearby flowers. Transplants 
readily. We offer nice young trees about 6 feet tall. 
SYMPLOCOS 
Paniculata “Turquoise Berry” Each $2.50, Three $7.00, Doz. $25.00 
If you can imagine a well grown Hawthorn heavily laden with turquoise- 
blue berries, you have an idea of what this rarity looks like in autumn. 
It is certainty a magnificent sight. In the spring its white flowers are 
quite conspicuous and an intricate arrangement of branches show in 
the winter. Be sure not to plant this in a wet spot as it must have good 
drainage. We offer nice plants which will fruit the first season after 
planting.
