HYDRANGEA A. G. 
| Large, pure white blooms like snowballs from June until August. Grows 3 
| to 4 feet tall. Hardy, thrives anywhere. Does especially well in shade. Should 
be cut back to within 8 inches of the ground each spring for best flowering 
results. 18-24 in., $1.25 each; 3 for $3.55. 12-18 in., $1.00 each; 3 for $2.80,

FORSYTHIA (Golden Bell) 
Earliest shrub to bloom, Forsythia has great masses of bright yellow flowers 
before the leaves appear. Foliage is a rich dark green. Grows to about 5 feet. 
Should be protected in Minnesota. 2-3 ft., $1.55 each; 3 for $4.45. 18-24 in., 
$1.20 each; 3 for $3.40, prepaid. 
WEIGELA EVA RATHKE 
Visitors will admire this excellent border and foundation shrub. In the spring 
it is covered with red trumpet-shaped flowers. Grows to be from 4 to 5 feet 
high. 2-3 ft., $1.55 each; 3 for $4.45, prepaid. 
BLUE LEAF SHRUB 
A very charming shrub with silvery blue-green foliage. Grown primarily 
for hedging (see page 19) but we have had such a demand for shrub sizes 
that we have grown some longer for that purpose. Grows only 3 to 4 feet 
high and is extremely hardy. Very colorful when worked in with such things 
as Golden Elder or Red Flash. 2-3 ft., $1.10 each; 3 for $3.10. 18-24 in., 
90c each; 3 for $2.45, prepaid. 
a GOLDEN MOCKORANGE 
One of our most popular shrubs, and a favorite of ours as well, the 
Golden Mockorange Golden Mockorange is not a large shrub (about 4-5 ft.) and because of 
its bright yellow leaves early in the season it is excellent when used with 
such shrubs as Red Flash, Red Leaf Barberry, Winged Bark Burning 
Bush and the Blue Leaf Shrub. From a distance it looks like a con- 
tinuous bloom of yellow flowers—but in June it is covered with the same 
very fragrant white blossoms that we associate with the regular Mock- 
orange. 18-24 in., $1.95 each; 3 for $5.45. 15-18 in., $1.65 each; 3 for 
$4.55, prepaid. 
ROSE TREE OF 
CHINA 
(Prunus Triloba) 
Branches are hidden under a 
fleecy cloud of bright pink 
double blossoms resembling 
small pink roses, even before 
leaves are out in the spring. 
A breath-taking sight in full 
bloom, especially when it 
reaches full height of about 
6 feet. Should be included in 
every yard. Very hardy and 
easy to grow. 3-4 ft., $2.95 
each; 3 for $8.25. 2-3 ft., 
$2.45 each; 3 for $6.85, pre- 
paid.
