CYDONIAS 
New Upright Spitfire (Page 151) 
A fine early flowering shrub of ex- 
cellent habit. Grows upright to a height 
of 6 to 7 feet, although it may be kept 
at 4 or 5 feet by topping. Huge, deep 
as crimson flowers cover the plant, creating 
™ a brilliantly beautiful effect. Magnifi- 
cent for hedge, single specimen or in 
shrub plantings where space is limited 
as the plants are only 2 feet across 
when mature. 
Knaphill Scarlet (Page 151) 
An English origination, this exquisite 
flowering Quince is a choice, low grow- 
ing plant. In early spring, the mound- 
like plants are completely covered with 
huge, showy, vermilion-red flowers. 
Ideal for foundation planting, in front 
of the shrub border or for low edgings. 
Blooms at Tulip time. Its ultimate 
height is about 24 inches. 
BOXWOOD 
Hardy Korean (Page 176) 
This splendid hardy variety of Boxwood is especially fine for low 
edgings and dwarf hedges. Its attractive leaves are not quite as 
shiny as the English Boxwood, but it is indefinitely hardier and 
can be grown successfully where temperatures go well below zero. 
It is evergreen and does not winter-burn; does equally well in full 
sun or shade. There are fine plantings of it in Montreal, Canada. 
VIBURNUM 
Carlcephalum (Page 170) 
This is the famous and splendid Hybrid from V. Carlesi and V. 
Macrocephalum which originated in England just before the war, 
It is absolutely hardy and has gone through several winters here 
in Mentor with temperatures of as much as ten degrees below 
zero. It is of branching habit and quick growth, 
growing about six to seven feet high. 
It is a most profusely flowering shrub with large 
cymose clusters of blossoms which may be as much 
as six inches across, rarely ever smaller than four 
inches. 
This Hybrid was shown at the Royal Horticul- 
tural Show in London before the war where it 
received the highest awards and praise. It has tak- 
en quite some time to test it here in Mentor and 
we claim, without reservation, that it is one of 
the finest spring-flowering shrubs we have ever 
seen. Only a limited number of this deliciously 
fragrant flowering plant are available at the mo- 
ment. Get yours promptly. All your life you will 
enjoy this purchase. 
CLETHRA 
Alnifolia Rosea (Page 147) 
The Pepper Bush is a compact neat plant of 
many slender, upright branches rarely over four to 
five feet high. Each branch is topped with finger- 
like clusters of small deliciously scented pink flow- 
ers. To many people, the fragrance is reminiscent 
of pepper; hence, its name. This is a very fine and 
useful shrub, especially suited for low moist places 
or damp woodland conditions. Here is the rare pink 
form of the much loved Pepper Bush, giving bloom 
when most needed in late summer and early au- 
tumn with fine dark green foliage to boot. 
FORSYTHIA 
Lynwood Gold (Page 154) 
This splendid new Forsythia originated in Ire- 
land and we predict it will replace all other va- 
rieties of deep yellow color before very many years. 
The branches are erect and literally smothered 
under golden yellow flowers from top to bottom. 
Not only are the flowers produced in the most 
profuse manner but the individual blooms are bet- 
ter and fuller in form as well as of greater sub- 
stance, apparently never minding bad weather. For 
a magnificent show of golden yellow, there is 
nothing better.

CNew and Outstanding Shrubs 
NEW MALUS (Flowering Crab) 
Floribunda Hillieri (Page 159) 
A magnificent new English Crab that is greatly superior to the 
common Floribunda. Clusters of 5 to 8 large, semi-double, bright 
pink flowers bloom late, prolonging the flowering season several 
days. 10 to 12 feet tall. 
Kaido or Fragrant Crab (Page 159) 
One of the finest small pink-flowered trees. Blooms early, pro- 
ducing exquisite rose-pink buds and rich clear pink flowers. De- 
cidedly upright in form,. grows 8 to 10 feet high and 4 feet across. 
An outstanding tree of rare beauty. 
Crimson Brilliant (Page 157) 
More than 25 years of breeding and selecting have gone into 
the creation of this, the choicest specimen of Crabs. First of all 
it is very hardy and can be grown anywhere. It is of medium 
size; when mature it is about 15 feet tall so it can be grown in 
small gardens without crowding out other things. !t grows quickly 
and will flower a year after planting but as the tree grows older 
it increases in floriferousness. The six-year-old specimen illus- 
trated on page 157 is completely covered with crimson flowers 
of a shade not unlike that of the well known Darwin Tulip, City 
of Haarlem. Crimson Brilliant Crab is without any question th 
finest of the red Crabs. There is nothing that can compare wi' 
it and it is our choicest introduction of new Crabs. 
BERBERIS 
Crimson Pygmy (Page 177) 
Three years ago, we obtained from Holland a number of plc 
of the miniature form of the Red-leaved Barberry. Everyone \ 
has seen it wants it because of its charm and delightful color® 
of its foliage. 
The old leaves are bronzy, blood-red while the new grov 
tips are several shades lighter, which sparkle in the sunlight. 
Plants now seven years old measure 15 to 18 inches in a 
ameter and are about 6 to 8 inches high. Each one is a picture 
in itself. Individual plants are colorful and will make a fine show: 
ing in front of any shrub planting, in front of a house for instance 
As an edging to walks or flower beds it will be most attracti: 
Must be grown in full sun in order to obtain the brilliant folia, 
color. 
Forsythia, Lynwood Gold
