COTONEASTER, Mult. Calocarpa 
$ 36 In August and September this new shrub is loaded with bright red 
berries, the size of Cranberries. In the spring, it is covered with masses of 
white flowers. Grows around 5-feet tall with rather slender, arching branches. 
The foliage is deep green above and light green on underside. In the fall it 
ordinarily becomes a deep maroon-purple. We consider this the best of all 
Cotoneasters. It is hardy with us but we do not advise planting north of 
central Iowa. 12 to 18 inches, Each $1.50, Postpaid

Hypericum Henryi 
§ 49 If this rare shrub just had a simpler name, it would rapidly become 
extremely popular. It makes such a neat, dense, rounded shrub scarcely 2- 
feet tall, perfect in shape. Each branch is covered from top to bottom with 
fine foliage an inch long and % inch wide. In the fall it colors gold and pur- 
plish-red and is always attractive right from the first leaf. It blooms from 
spring far into summer, bright yellow flowers, 2-inches across. In coldest 
states, the tops will die down over winter. In that case, in the spring you 
simply cut off the old tops and new growth comes up from the roots. We 
recommend this very highly as being one of the best low-growing shrubs. 
Grows in sun or part shade. 12 to 15 inches, Each $1.50, Postpaid

Low-Growine ked Spinea 
$ 137 Red Spirea (Anthony Waterer)—Pictured above, this 
is our most popular low-growing shrub, planted all over 
America. Makes a neat, rounded bush 2 to 3 feet tall. Rosy- 
red flowers cover the entire plant in the spring and blooms 
at intervals throughout the summer. Perfectly hardy, 
grows in sun or part shade, any ordinary soil. Excellent for 
foundation planting, for corners, in front of taller shrubs, as 
individual specimens. Makes a low bushy hedge that re- 
quires no trimming. In almost every yard there are places 
where Red Spirea will add permanent beauty.

RIBES, ALPINUM 
§ 122 Coming originally from the Alps mountains, this is 
extremely hardy. It is the best low-growing shrub we know 
for shady places. Grows only 3 to 4 feet tall, very dense, 
bushy, rounded, with dark green foliage. Small fragrant 
yellow flowers in May generally followed by scarlet berries 
in summer and fall. It actually does better planted in the 
shade than it does in full sun.

PAGODA DOGWOOD (Cornus Alternifolia) 
T 42 This should be listed on page 36 but we did not have 
room there. It is a low-growing, very attractive ornamental 
tree. Only 15 to 20-feet tall when fully grown, and almost 
as wide. It is perfect, especially for the smaller yard and one- 
story homes because the branches come out in horizontal 
tiers thus extending the lines of the house out into the land- 
scape. White flowers in the spring followed by blue-black 
fruits on red stems. Perfectly hardy, easy to grow. 
2 to 3 feet, Each $1.75 Postpaid 
DWARF CRANBERRY BUSH (Viburnum Op. nanum) 
$146 This never gets larger than 2-feet, almost perfectly 
rounded, compact and full. Makes a marvelous low hedge 
or border that never has to be trimmed as it grows so uni- 
formly. Thrives in full sun or light shade. Perfectly hardy, 
easy to grow and thrives even in wet, heavy soils where few 
plants do well. An exceptionally fine low-growing shrub for 
border planting.
