perennial border or in the foreground of shrub plant-

best Hypericum and we’ve forgotten about the others. 
"Sungold” (Patent #518) 
Each $2.50, Three $7.00, Doz. $25.00 
Hardy, shapely and a true dwarf. It is almost perfectly 
oval, grows 22 to 3 feet in diameter, holds its height 
to about 24 inches. Its dense foliage is a fine green all 
summer. Blooms are cymes of golden flowers at the end 
of each shoot of the summer’s new growth. They are pro- 
duced in tremendous quantities all summer. 
KALMIA (Laurel) 
As you know, Mountain Laurel is Connecticut’s State 
flower; it grows wild here and in profusion. Most plants 
offered for sale are snatched out of the woods and few 
of them are well formed. We grow them from tiny seed- 
lings, well-spaced, to get their natural and beautiful 
spreading heads. We also propagate from seeds taken 
from natural and unusually beautiful hybrids in the woods. 
Our supply of saleable plants is very limited and at this 
time we are behind in filling orders. However, we suggest 
that you place your order now for future deilvery—you 
will be given priority. 
15 to 18 inches, $2.75 each 18 to 24 inches, $3.50 each

LILACS (The French Hybrids) 
If you like the old-fashioned lilacs (and who doesn’t) 
you'll certainly want these lovely things. The hybridizers 
have been working with them, particularly the great 
French horticulturist Lemoine, and Lilacs are now works 
of art. The trusses are huge and many varieties make 
excellent cut flowers. All of these new Lilacs come into 
bloom at a much younger age than the old ones. If your 
planting space is large enough you'll want one each of 
these. 
Ambassadeur Each $3.50, Three $9.75 
Broad spikes of very large single flowers of azure-lilac 
lightened by a conspicuous white center. 
Esther Staley Each $5.00 
This is the only pink lilac to date. Buds are red, flowers 
single. It is a fine and rare plant. Midseason. 2 to 3 feet. 
(Patented). 
Etna Each $4.00, Three $11.00. 
Deep claret-purple single flowers. This Is the closest ap- 
proach to red we have seen. 
Marie Finon Each $4.00, Three $11.00 
Trusses covered with immense double flowers of purest 
alabaster white. 
Waldeck Rosseau Each $3.50, Three $9.75 
Another double pink, this of most delicate tone. 
--PHILADELPHUS (Mockorange) 
Atlas (Giant Mockorange) Each $2.50, Three $7.00 
It is the flowers that are giants, not the plants, although 
they will attain a considerable size if not pruned. The 
huge blossoms (3 inches across) are as large as Dogwood 
blooms and they make excellent cut flowers—so you will 
prune. Philadelphus is hardy, requiring no special culture. 
Enchantment (Double) Each $3.00, Three $8.50 
Its branches are erect and on maturity the bush rarely 
grows over 6 feet. The flowers, set very closely, are 
double and sweetly fragrant. It will grow well in light 
shade. 
Innocence Each $2.50, Three $7.00 
An alabaster-white mockorange producing heavily. - 
Flowers are delicately fragrant. Height at maturity is 
about 6 feet. 
POTENTILLA FRUITICOSA 
(Gold Drop) 
We call this a mighty fine small shrub. It has compact 
growth, a slightly irregular mound-like shape about 2 
to 2¥%2 feet upon maturity. It is densely covered with small 
fernlike leaves and it blooms vigorously from early June 
to late October. The buttercup-like flowers are intensely 
golden yellow and literally stud the plant. It does best in 
full sun and is hardy below zero. It is a consistent and 
persistent flowerer and if spaced 12 inches apart it makes 
the most delightful low, flowering hedge you can 
imagine. 
Heqvy-rooted Plants Each $2.00, Three $5.75. Doz. $20.00 
VIBURNUM 
One of the most fragrant and beautiful shrubs. After 
flowering in the spring they make heavy mounds of dark 
green clear to the ground and in the fall they turn bril- 
liantly. 
Burkwoodi Each $5.00, Three $14.00 
This new English hybrid is a most amenable plant—it 
thrives in sun or shady places. It is also low-growing (6 
feet upon maturity) and ideal for today’s smaller estab- 
lishments. Flowers are produced in early spring when 
leaf buds are unfolding and form round, domed clusters 
which are fragrant enough to perfume a neighborhood. 
Foliage is shiny dark green in summer; turns brilliant in 
autumn. Shipping-size plants 2 to 3 feet. Larger speci- 
mens in Easimove pots available at the Sales Center.
