Davidia Involucrata 
English Hawthorns 
(Crataegus Oxyacantha) 
State regulotions forbid the sending of Crataegus, Cydonia and Malus 
into Colorado and Utah. 
The English Haw or Hawthorn is a lovely flowering shrub or small tree 
about 15 feet high, with spreading branches and stout spines. The leaves 
are broad, the 3 to 5 lobes much toothed. Its flowers are in large clusters 
and produced in immense quantities. The fruits are scarlet. They are 
especially well suited for the small garden or as specimens on the lawn 
where a Maple would be too big and create too much shade. 
Paul’s Scarlet English Hawthorn 
Each $5.00, Three $14.00, Doz. $50.00 
This is a brilliant rosy red, double-flowered variety. One of the choicest 
ornamental trees in existence. Foolproof and hardy; sure blooming. It 
is a joy to see it each spring. 
Crataegus, Autumn Glory Each $5.59, Three $15.00 
This magnificent Hybrid Thorn grows into a medium sized tree about 
15 to 18 feet high. Makes a shapely head and has deep green foli- 
age. In spring it is very attractive with its many big clusters of white 
blooms. But in early autumn it really is a sight to behold when the 
immense clusters of giant berries turn a brilliant red. In our opinion 
it is even more spectacular than the well known and popular’ Moun- 
tain Ash. The fruit remains on the tree well into the winter. A rare, 
beautiful and unusual small tree you will enjoy in your garden for 
many, many years. (See page 163.)

DAVIDIA 
Involucrata (Dove Tree) Each $18.00 
The Dove Tree is one of the rarest trees in cultivation and originally 
came from Western China where old specimens reach the height of 40 
to 50 feet. It is slow to start but once established, growth is rapid. 
Any ordinary soil suits it. The leaves are mulberry-like and sweet 
scented when bruised. The outstanding feature of the tree consists of 
two large white bracts of unequal size, enveloping the flowers which 
develop in late May. The hanging white bracts are almost constantly 
in motion and resemble doves in flight. This is one of the most beauti- 
ful trees in existence. After 15 years work we have produced a very 
few which have been grown in bush form about 4 feet tall and offer 
these at $18.00 each. We believe there are no other plants of this 
size obtainable in America. We do not recommend your attempt to 
grow this beautiful tree in the colder sections of this country; south of 
Philadelphia is safe or temperatures milder than encountered there. 
DESMODIUM 
Shrublike plants producing long, willow-like canes which give the plants 
a lovely effect. Its thousands of purple blossoms are a magnificent sight 
late in the fall. 
Culture. Any good garden soil will do. Plant in full sun in the hardy 
border together with purple and bronze Chrysanthemums or at the base of 
shrubs. Remove all growth in spring, cutting the plant back to the ground. 
Penduliflorum Each $1.50, Three $4.00, Doz. $15.00 
A lovely shrublike plant for the hardy border or shrub border. Arched, 
slender branches are covered with hundreds of drooping racemes of 
liquid purple flowers which make a gorgeous display late in the autumn. 
FUCHSIA 
Culture. Ordinary good loam, well drained. They do not like heavy, 
wet clay soils. Do well in shady places where it is difficult to flower other 
plants. Magellanica is a hardy variety, wintering over outdoors if the plants 
are protected with straw during the winter. 
Magellanica Each 75c, Three $1.80, Doz. $5.65 
This most interesting shrub came to us from the New York Botanical 
Garden, where it has proven entirely hardy. It is in bloom all summer 
long until stopped by frost. The ruby-red pendent flowers are pro- 
duced by the hundreds, flowering just as freely in full sun as in light 
shade. A most interesting plant for the flower border or rock garden, 
blooming all summer. Like all Fuchsias, they are well adapted for shady 
locations. We advise protection anywhere north of Philadelphia. 
Magellanica alba Each 75c, Three $1.80, Doz. $5.65 
Has the same habit of growth as Magellanica but the pendent flowers 
are blush-white. A charming variety which also is somewhat hardier.
