(Mahonia aquifolium)

yellow flowers followed by bunches of blue berries, 
this broadleaf evergreen is attractive and hardy. 
Its ornamental foliage is useful for cutting purposes, 
and it does well in shade.

SWEET GUM 
Our most beautiful shade tree. We consider Sweet Gum 
the most handsome tree we can offer that also possesses 
merits of rapid growth, freedom from disease, hardiness and 
wide adaptability. Its star-shaped leaves are unlike any 
other tree and no tree displays such a riot of autumnal colors. 
Growth is columnar and stately yet its branches spread 
enough to provide abundant shade. Clean, neat, with interest- 
ing corky bark. 
Our moss-balled trees transplant perfectly. 
Field-grown and bushy, 3 to 4 ft. moss-balled plants.

ENGLISH BOXWOOD 
For specimen planting or for edging and hedging English Box- 
wood is in a class by itself. For formal plantings no evergreen is 
superior. None has such , 
rich texture and charac- 
ter. 
However, we caution 
against Boxwood unless 
you know you are in a 
Boxwood country. It does 
not take kindly to harsh 
climate. 
Our plants this year 
are well-established in 
6-in. fiber pots and will 
transplant perfectly.

SOUTHERN MAGNOLIA 
(Magnolia Grandiflora) 
The romantic Magnolia of the South, with its im- 
mense creamy white, sweet-scented flowers and large, 
waxy green leaves is truly a sight to behold It is par- 
ticularly spectacular as it is the only large broadleaf 
evergreen tree that is hardy in northern gardens, but 
it should not be planted north of St. Louis, Lake Erie, 
Boston latitude. Even this far north this magnificent tree 
is semi-tender, but it is such a wonderful garden prize 
that it is worth the effort to plant it in a protected 
location, away from the sweep of winds, and pray that 
it will come along. Our young trees have withstood 
-21° F. and are definitely a northern type. 
Field-grown. Balled, 15 to 18 inches. Regular price

SAUCER MAGNOLIA : ‘ 
(Magnolia Soulangeana) 4 
A never-failing eye-catcher, the Soulangeana is one of the 
hoot lenown of the perennially fayorite Magnolias. Large pinkish ay set, 
orchid and white flowers, which usually appear before the leaves, 
completely cover the tree, and are followed by broad, rich green 
leathery foliage. Good drainage, rather than rich soil, is essential 
for best results. It has the happy faculty of blooming when 
very young—plants 2 or 3 feet tall often have several flowers. 
Container-grown for perfect transplanting, 2 to 3 ft. Regular $3.25 value

(Lonicera fragrantissima) 
Rare shrub whose creamy flowers will fill 
your spring garden with delicate and bewitch- 
ing fragrance. Called Winter Honeysuckle be-

of ruby fruits appear in early summer before 
other shrubs and are a welcome treat to nest- 
song birds 
Clothed in lustrous foliage, blue-green be- 
low and deep emerald above that persists well 
into winter 
Completely hardy, thrives in full sun or 
partial shade. Adapted to city atmosphere or 
to the sweeping winds of open countryside. 
Dense, semi-evergreen character and moder- 
ate 6 to 8-foot height make it indispensable 
for background or border.
