18 inches tall and about the same in diameter.

yellow cuplike flowers, about 2 inches in diameter, 
in a grand mass display. Flowers are fragrant and 
appear late June, continuing 
until mid-October. $2.00

CRIMSON PYGMY. 
PYRACANTHA, Firethorn 
(Coccinea Lalandi) 
A most remarkable berried shrub that 
retains its foliage all winter. The attrac- 
tive long trusses of pure white flowers are 
only a prelude to the big show. An abun- 
dance of brilliant orange-scarlet berries 
follow the bloom and the bush becomes 
a “mound of flame” with the effect lasting 
well into the winter. Blooms in May

$2.25 each, postpaid.
