¥ T 33 PURPLE WAVE (P.R.R.) Every few years something ex- 
. tra special appears on the nursery scene. In 1947 we cataloged 
; bg . the Cardinal Shrub and it is rapidly becoming one of America’s 
’ most popular shrubs. For 1954 we are introducing Purple Wave, 
the striking purple-leaved flowering Crab, sold exclusively by 
Inter-State. 
All season, spring to late fall, the foliage is a glorious purple with 
copper undertone. Blooms profusely in early spring, lovely 
fragrant flowers of rosy-red, followed by red fruits in late summer 
and fall. Purple Wave makes a bushy, branched low-to-the- 
ground tree 8 feet tall and 8 feet or more wide, with attractive 
‘ wave-like horizontal branches. Valuable in border plantings or as 
~ an individual specimen. Completely hardy, it will thrive all over 
America. Without doubt, it is the best, most attractive low- 
growing Purple-Leaf Ornamental Flowering Crab.
