HAWTHORNS 
(Crataegus Oxyacantha) 
The English Hawthorn is a completely hardy flowering 
shrub or small tree with spreading branches and stout 
spines. Left unclipped it will grow to about 15 feet and 
is ideal for the small lawn where a Maple would be too 
big and throw too much shade. Large clusters of flowers 
are produced in tremendous quantities in the spring and 
are followed by scarlet fruit. 
Autumn Glory Each $5.50, Three $15.00 
Big clusters of white blooms followed by berries of bril- 
liant red which stay well into the winter. 
Paul’s Scarlet English Hawthorn Each $4.00, Three $11.00 
A brilliant rosy-red, double-flowering variety. 
PRUNUS (Almonds & Peaches) 
This group of extremely floriferous small trees is of 
remarkable beauty, highly recommended for the small 
plot, and all are hardy. 
P. Iceberg Each $2.00, Three $5.75 
Pure white double flowering Peach. Prune back to 8 
inches after flowering. Plant only in spring. Prices above 
are bare root only. 
P. Pink Charming Each $2.00, Three $5.75 
Double rose-pink flowering Peach. Treat as above. Prices 
bare root only. 
FLOWERING ALMOND 
Glandulosa Alba Each $2.25, Three $6.25 
Small, very double white rosettes of flowers in great pro- 
fusion in late April and early May. Ultimate height: 
4 to 5 feet. 
Glandulosa Rosea Each $2.25, Three $6.25 
Very double, rose-colored form of the above. 
MAGNOLIA 
Soulangeana 
The rather rare Pink Magnolia of city gardens. It is a 
small tree, perfectly hardy, that produces shining green 
foliage after it is covered with enormous pinkish-white, 
slightly fragrant flowers in early spring. It is the showiest 
and best of the family for northern gardens and even 
one plant will dominate a garden or a city block when 
it becomes sizable. 3 to 6 feet; $7.50 to $15.00 each.

MALUS (Flowering Crabs) 
Among the small flowering trees, the Crabs are by far 
the most sensational group—they stand alone in profu- 
sion of bloom, only the ornamental cherries are close to 
them. None equals them in hardiness or in ability to 
bloom in exposures that blast the buds of more delicate 
flowering trees. 
With the exception of Bechtel’s Crab, which at 
maturity is a 15 to 20 foot double-flowered beauty, we 
list only the dwarf varieties. Even the smallest yard can 
support one—fence lines on farms or estates planted with 
Crabs on 25 foot centers become tree lines of rare beauty 
in a few years. (All stock for shipment is three years old 
and trees generally bloom a year after planting. Older 
trees, balled and burlapped, are priced according to size 
but can be obtained only at The Farm.) 
Crimson Brilliant Each $7.00 
A most brilliant red flowering crab, It becomes more and 
more floriferous as it grows older; is of extreme hardiness 
and can be grown anywhere. Upon maturity it reaches 
about 15 feet, about the limit for small gardens. It is a 
new variety and the supply is very limited. Only the 
earliest orders can be filled. (Plant Patent #939.) 
Floribunda Hilleri Each $5.00 
This new English origination replaces older Floribunda. 
The flowers, nearly an inch in diameter, are semi-double 
and of crimson color in the bud. They open to bright pink 
and cover the tree with heavy clusters of bloom. It’s a 
late bloomer. Ultimate height is from 10-12 feet. 
loensis plena (Bechtel’s Crab) Each $3.00, Three $8.50 
A fully-double crab which was discovered about 1850 
in the Mississippi River Valley and brought into cultiva- 
tion by a man named Bechtel. Its fine round head is 
covered with pale pink blossoms about 2 inches in diam- 
eter, each double and exactly like small roses, each with 
a delicate violet scent. 
Kaido or Fragrant Crab Each $5.00 
When fully grown Kaido is upright, almost pyramid in 
form. It is not much more than 4 feet wide and matures 
at 8-10 feet. In the bud it is rose pink and blooms open 
to rich clear pink. Blooms are deliciously fragrant. 
Pink Weeper Crab Each $3.50, Three $9.75 
A splendid specimen plant for the lawn which grows from 
12-15 feet high. The weeping branches, covered with 
crimson-purple blossoms, droop to the ground. Shipping 
plants 4 to 5 feet. 
SALIX (Willow) 
French Pussy Willow Each $1.25, Three $3.50, Doz. $12.00 
Not the unreliable wild Pussy Willow but a fine French 
cultivated variety. You see branches of these selling in 
florist shops for $5.00 a dozen during the later winter 
months. So grow them yourself. Cut the ends of branches 
in January or February and place in water indoors. The 
large, silver-pink catkins (1 to 2 inches long) will start 
unfolding shortly and will last in a cool room for two 
weeks. When planting cut the branches back to 6 inches 
to promote long, vigorous new canes. Keep pruning 
heavily each spring (after catkins have formed) or Salix 
will grow to 10 feet. 
GARDEN GADGETS 
Forks, hoes, rakes, spades or what common garden tools 
you need—we don’t have them. Buy them from your 
favorite hardware dealer; he has as good as we can get. 
Over the years we have found few special-purpose gar- 
den tools that lived up to their promotions. Here are the 
ones we recommend. 
Dutch Hook Each $2.75 
This is the small, forged, sharp weeder the Dutch use for 
hooking weeds out of daffodil and tulip rows. We use it 
for all kinds of close weeding. It has an 18-inch handle— 
you have to stoop. No one else has this tool. 
Krasco Hand Grass Seeder Each $4.95 
A small hand tool working on the principle (centrifugal) 
of big farm tractor seeders. It will spread Bent and Blue- 
grass evenly and at the same time—something no $15 
hand-pushed seeder will do. Also, it is the only seeder 
that will distribute our Special Lawn Grass Seed, mostly 
a mixture of Fescues.
