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 $1.75, Three $4.75, Doz. $17.50 
A magnificent, distinct and truly blue Althea. The gorgeous single 
disk-like blue flowers are produced in large amounts. Planted with our 
white variety, W. R. Smith, it makes a handsome color effect in the 
summer border. Plants we send out will bloom this year. 
Woodbridge Each $1.75, Three $4.75, Doz. $17.50 
This is an improvement over Rubis. Produces very large, wide-open, 
flaring flowers of a fine, clear rose-pink color. The best and most 
brilliant of the pink Altheas. Its freedom of bloom is outstanding. 
W. R. Smith Each $1.75, Three $4.75, Doz. $17.50 
Large, disclike, pure white flowers which open flat and are produced in 
great 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 
exception. Its flowers are large, open wide and are superb. 
BETULA - Birch 
Pendula gracilis (Cutleaf Weeping Birch) 
Each $3.00, Three $8.50, Doz. $32.00 
Its graceful weeping branches, finely cut foliage and shimmering white 
bark make this one of the most beautiful ornamental trees. Even in 
winter, without foliage, the delicate pendulous branches make a lovely 
silhouette against the drab colors of other trees in the background. 
It is not too particular as to soil but prefers a moist location and a 
sunny spot. 
CALLICARPA - Violet Jewel Berry 
Purpurea Each $2.00, Three $5.75, Doz. $20.00 
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 cre 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. 
CALLUNA AND ERICA - Heaths and Heathers 
The Heaths are compact, low growing evergreen plants, and as such 
are extremely useful for planting in front of evergreens or as edgings. 
The small foliage is densely arranged around the wiry little stems, and 
either when in full bloom or in midwinter makes a very pretty picture. 
Culture. All Heaths and Heathers require a warm, well-drained soil. Half 
peat and loam freely mixed with coarse sand to which a liberal quantity 
of well-rotted cow manure has been added suits them best. 
*Calluna vulgaris Each $1.00, Three $2.75, Doz. $8.50 
(Scotch Heather.) A low-growing shrub, with erect branches covered 
with short, closely adpressed leaves. The pretty, bell-shaped flowers 
occur in great profusion toward tops of the shoots, and are a pretty 
rosy color. 
CALYCANTHUS 
Floridus Each $1.50, Three $4.00, Doz. $15.00 
Few shrubs are so well known as the Carolina Allspice. In fact, over 
a large part of the United States it is called “Shrub” or ‘Shrub Bush” 
without any other qualification. In some places it is referred to as the 
“Sweet-scented Shrub,” the ‘Sweet Shrub,”” or the ‘’Strawberry Shrub.” 
The handsome, dark red-brown flowers are produced in early spring. 
During the summer, the plant is neat and very handsome, with glossy, 
corrugated foliage. It grows 4 to 5 feet high. 
CERCIS 
Canadensis Each $3.00, Three $8.50, Doz. $32.00 
A slender, graceful tree 15 to 20 feet high, the Judas Tree or Redbud 
grows naturally throughout eastern United States, and is one of the 
chief adornments of the early spring landscape. Before the leaves come 
out, the branchlets are covered with clusters of small, purplish pink, 
Pea blossoms, very charming when associated with the Red Cedar and 
the Dogwoods. 
CHIONANTHUS 
Virginica Each $3.50, Three $9.75, Doz. $35.00 
One of the most striking of native small trees. Its handsome, oblong 
leaves turn a bright golden yellow in autumn. In June large masses of 
loose panicles of feathery petaled, snow-white flowers make it an out- 
standing garden plant. 
Calluna Vulgaris 
[147] 
CLETHRA ALNIFOLIA ROSEA 
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 flowers. 
To many people, the fragrance is reminiscent of pepper; hence, its 
name. This is a very fine and useful shrub, especially for low moist 
places or damp woodland conditions. It grows equally well in full sun 
or shade. Here is the rare pink form of the much loved white 
Pepper Bush, giving bloom when most needed in late summer and 
early autumn with fine dark green foliage to boot, 
Each $2.50, Three $7.00, Doz. $25.00 
CORYLUS 
. Maxima atropurpurea (Purple-Leaved Filbert) 
Each $2.00, Three $5.75, Doz. $20.00 
For a rich display of bronze foliage there is not much better than the 
Purple Leaved Filbert. It is a much branched shrub covered from top 
to bottom with fine, bronze leaves which make a pleasant break in the 
monotony of the green leaves in the shrubbery border. The richest and 
deepest colors aire obtained when it is grown in full sun. It grows well 
in shade but it then loses part of its coloring. Maximum height about 
10 feet. Can be kept any height up to 5 feet with pruning. Hardy 
anywhere! A fine plant for the lawn as a single specimen. 
CORNUS - Dogwood 
lt has been our experience as well as that of many of our customers 
that medium-sized Dogwood trees establish more easily and grow more 
rapidly than large trees, unless the big trees are moved with a big ball of 
earth. 
We have therefore grown a special size plant. It is bushy, well shaped 
and about 3 feet tall, with a wonderfully nice root system. It will grow 
fast and bloom for you not later than one year after planting. 
White Cloud 2% to 3 ft., Each $4.50, Three $12.50, Doz. $45.00 
From thousands of seedlings of white Doawoods, 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. 
Florida rubra (Pink Dogwood) 
2% to 3 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 similar 
in all respects to the common variety except that the flowers are a 
beautiful shade of pink. A good specimen in full bloom is a magnificent 
sight in spring. Does well in shcde. We offer plants about 3 feet 
tall, which is best size for transplanting.
