NORWAY MAPLE, “CRIMSON KING” 
Acer Platanoides Schwedleri Nigra 
(U. S. Plant Patent No. 735) 
About ten years ago a fascinating purple or maroon leaved Norway 
Maple tree was sent to America from Europe. It created the same sen- 
sation over here as it did in Europe. Several specimens were propagated 
and planted along the East Coast as well as on the Pacific Coast for 
observation. The results have been most gratifying. It proved perfectly 
hardy and happy where Maples grew and it retained its magnificent leaf 
color throughout the entire summer. The effect is not unlike that of the 
Copper Beech, but in addition, the tips of the branches and the young 
foliage are of a lighter shade and glisten brilliantly in the sun. One 
would think the tree was in bloom. 
Here truly is a rare thing in trees; a superb plant for lawn small or 
large, street trees or specimen for contrast among other trees. Unfor- 
tunately not many big trees are available so we decided to offer our 
customers what is known as a “‘whip.” This is a two-year grafted single 
stem tree about 6 to 7 feet tall without side branches. When this ‘‘whip’’ 
is planted in the nursery it immediately starts to grow branches. It will 
do so, for you, in your garden. In two years time you will have a fast 
growing, vigorcus young tree which makes it possible for you to enjoy 
this beautiful novelty two years sooner. Our supply is limited and will 
be for several years to come. Order promptly and you will possess one 
of the finest trees you ever owned. 
Crimson King Maple Whips 
6 to 7 feet tall, Each $5.50 
ALTHEA; HIBISCUS -’Rose of Sharon 
Erect growing shrubs of stately and formal shape, particularly well suited 
for screens or specimens in the shrub border. They bloom from July to frost 
and give color when most other shrubs have finished blooming. We offer 
three beautiful varieties of recent introduction, practically unknown, and 
in our estimation the three best. Their ultimate height is about 10 feet. 
Celestial Blue Each $1.25, Three $3.50, Doz. $12.00 
A magnificent, distinct and truly blue Althea. The gorgeous single 
disk-like blue flowers are produced. in large amounts. Planted with our 
white variety, Snowdrift, it makes a most handsome color effect in the 
summer border. Piants we send out will bloom this year. 
Woodbridge Each $1.50, Three $4.00, Doz. $15.00 
This is an improvement over Rubis. Produces very large, wide-open, 
flaring flowers of a fine, clear rose-pink color. The best and most bril- 
liant of the pink Altheas. Its freedom of bloom is outstanding. 
W. R. Smith Each $1.50, Three $4.00, Doz. $15.00 
Large, disclike, pure white flowers which open flat and are produced in 
grect numbers from early July until frost. Most white Althea blooms do 
not open fully and therefore are not showy. W. R. Smith is the one ex- 
ception. Its flowers are large, open wide and are superb.

CALLICARPA - Violet Jewel Berry 
Purpurea Each $1.50, Three $4.00, Doz. $15.00 
Gracefully recurving branches, covered in August with thousands of 
closely set, small pink tinted flowers. These are followed in late 
September by masses of violet-purple. berries .which last until mid- 
winter. There are few shrubs which give as much pleasure in the garden 
or which are so satisfactory for cutting. Ultimate height about five 
feet. We offer nice plants that will bear fruit at once. 
Caryopteris- Hardy Blue Spirea 
Blue Mist Each $1.50, Three $4.00, Doz. $15.00 
(Mastacanthus x Mongolica.) This charming low growing shrub is a very 
real contribution to the meager list of summer and fall flowering shrubs. 
It is covered from August till autumn frost with numerous clusters of 
powdery blue, fringed flowers. This shrub grows about 18 to 24 inches 
tall and is perfectly rounded, making a small mound about 2 feet in 
diameter. The foliage is lanceolate and slightly toothed and silvery 
green in color. A truly worth-while plant for the flower border as well 
as for in front of the shrubbery border. Perfectly hardy and replaces 
the tender Mastacanthus now in use. 
CORNUS - Dogwood 
Florida (White Dogwood) Each $4.00, Three $11.00, Doz. $40.00 
Nothing we can say will add to the charm, beauty and popularity of 
the white Dogwood. It is THE finest native American small tree. We 
offer well rooted, 4- to 5-foot trees. 
White Cloud 4 to 5 ft., Each $7.00, Three $18.00, Doz. $67.50 
From thousands of seedlings of white Dogwoods, we selected several 
years ago an outstanding variation. This distinctive tree was replanted 
and grown by itself for further observation until we were satisfied we 
had something extra fine in white Dogwoods. It is outstanding in par- 
ticular, for the immense amount of flowers it produces as well as the 
rapidity with which it starts flowering so freely. At opening the flowers 
give a creamy yellow effect which, after a few days, changes over to 
white. When in bloom the tree is literally a white cloud; the foliage is 
almost not to be seen. Instead of just planting ordinary seedling trees, 
particularly when space is limited, try this new variety. It will reward 
you _with greater masses of blooms for all your life. 
Pink Dogwood 4 to 5 ft., Each $6.00, Three $16.00, Doz. $60.00 
There are no trees or shrubs which possess a larger measure of attrac- 
tiveness throughout the whole year. The rare pink Dogwood is simiiar 
in all respects to the common variety except that the flowers are a 
becutiful shade of pink. A good specimen in full bloom is a magnificent 
sight in spring. Does well in shade. We offer plants about 4 to 5 feet 
tall. 
Many of our customers prefer to plant medium sized trees of Dog- 
wood and we agree with them that the smaller size establishes more 
easily and grows rapidly. We have therefore decided to offer this smaller 
size.
