Cydonia- lowering Onince 
(State regulations forbid the shipment of Cydonia, Crataegus and 
Malus into the states of Colorado and Utah.) 
One of the first shrubs to bloom in spring. Their brilliant flowers and 
shiny foliage place them among the No. 1 plants for the spring garden. 
They may be allowed to grow into specimen plants or trimmed into hedges. 
Ultimate height about 5 to 6 feet. We offer here a collection of mew hybrids 
not yet known in this country. These varieties are outstanding. The size 
of their blooms as well as the quantity in which they are produced is almost 
unbelievable. 
SPITFIRE 
NEW UPRIGHT CYDONIA 
(Plant Patent No. 830) 
Perfect for Hedges and Single Specimens 
Here is a fine, early flowering shrub with excellent habit. It 
grows upright to a height of about 6 to 7 feet when mature. It may 
be held down to 4 or 5 feet if you wish by simply topping it once or 
at the most twice a year; side pruning is not necessary. The flowers 
are large and deepest crimson-red. The upright stems are covered 
with them from the ground up. You can well imagine what a bril- 
liant effect is made when Spitfire Cydonia is used for a hedge. The 
plants are not more than 2 feet across when mature so that it is an 
excellent subject to use as a single specimen as well as in shrub 
plantings where space is limited. No flower buds have ever been 
killed nor has there been any damage from frost to the wood in 
temperatures as low as 15 degrees below zero. We have had this 
plant under test for ten years and think it is a fine addition to 
flowering shrubs that may be successfully used for hedging as well 
as specimen planting. We offer plants about 3 feet tall, ready to 
bloom. Each $3.00, Three $8.50, Doz. $32.00 
New Hybrid Cydonias 
The beautiful hybrid Cydonias offered under this heading are great im- 
provements and, as soon as they become more plentiful and better known, 
will be universally grown. Our stock is decidedly limited. We, therefore,

in your own garden. 
Charming Each $3.50, Three $9.75, Doz. $35.00

ready ta bloom. 
Knaphill Scarlet Each $4.00, Three $11.00, Doz. $40.00

early spring is completely covered with big vermilion-red flowers. An 
ideal variety for planting in front of the shrub border or foundation 
plantings; it may alse be used for low edgings. Knaphill Scarlet will

offer nice bushy specimens about 12 to 15 inches high. 
Nivalis Each $4.00, Three $11.00, Doz. $40.00

tion, it’s almost thornless. A beautiful shrub to grow with white Tulips.

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. 
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 are 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. Superb foli- 
age for cutting and use with flowers. 
COTONEASTER - The Queen of Shrubs 
All the species of Cotoneaster will thrive either in shade or full sun, and 
are very suitable for growing under trees, ‘‘clothing’’ north or other walls, 
and for covering wet, dry or shady banks, etc. 
The outstanding characteristics of this genus are the beautiful, conspicu- 
ous clusters of berries, ranging in color from brilliant orange-scarlet, through 
varying shades of red to black, all preceded by the profusion of white or 
einky white flowers wreathing the branchlets, and also in many species the 
rich autumnal coloring of their foliage. For hedges they are becoming more 
and more popular, Divaricata being especially well adapted for that purpose. 
The under-mentioned list contains most of the best recent introductions 
from China, to which country they are native.

Each $2.50, Three $7.00, Doz. $25.00

down during the autumn with masses of bright crimson fruits about the 
size of a Cranberry. The foliage is shiny green and beautiful through the 
year. Perfectly hardy. 
Divaricata Each $2.00, Three $5.75, Doz. $20.00 
A low growing, much branched and graceful shrub from China. Its ulti- 
mate height is about five feet and it is perfectly suited for hedges of 
medium height, say from 3 to 5 feet. Foliage is small and round, highly 
polished dark green. It creates a splendid effect. Brilliant small egg- 
shaped, red fruits in autumn add to its beauty. Few shrubs equal 
Cotoneaster Divaricata in the border or as a hedge plant.
