MAGNOLIA 
Sovlangeana 
The rather rare Pink Magnolia of city gardens. It is a 
small tree, perfectly hardy, that produces shining green 
foliage after It is covered with enormous pinkish-white, 
slightly fragrant flowers in early spring. It is the showlest 
and best of the family for northern gardens and even 
one plant will dominate a garden or a city block when 
it becomes sizable. 3 to 6 feet; $7.50 to $15.00 each. 
MALUS (Flowering Crabs) 
Among the small flowering trees, the Crabs are by far 
the most sensational group—they stand alone in profu- 
sion of bloom, only the ornamental cherries are close to 
them. None equals them in hardiness or in ability to 
bloom in exposures that blast the buds of more delicate 
flowering trees. 
With the exception of Bechtel’s Crab, which at 
maturity is a 15 to 20 foot double-flowered beauty, we 
list only the dwarf varieties. Even the smallest yard can 
support one—fence lines on farms or estates planted with 
Crabs on 25 foot centers become tree lines of rare beauty 
in a few years. (All stock for shipment is three years old 
and trees generally bloom a year after planting. Older 
trees, balled and burlapped, are priced according to size 
but can be obtained only at The Farm.) 
Crimson Brilliant Each $7.00 
A most brilliant red flowering crab. It becomes more and 
more floriferous as it grows older; is of extreme hardiness 
and can be grown anywhere. Upon maturity it reaches 
about 15 feet, about the limit for small gardens. It is a 
new variety and the supply is very limited. Only the 
earliest orders can be filled. (Plant Patent #939.) 
Floribunda Hilleri Each $5.00 
This new English origination replaces older Floribunda. 
The flowers, nearly an inch in diameter, are semi-double 
and of crimson color in the bud. They open to bright pink 
and cover the tree with heavy clusters of bloom. It’s a 
late bloomer. Ultimate height is from 10-12 feet. 
Kaido or Fragrant Crab Each $5.00 
When fully grown Kaido is upright, almost pyramid in 
form. It is not much more than 4 feet wide and matures 
at 8-10 feet. In the bud it is rose pink and blooms open 
to rich clear pink. Blooms are deliciously fragrant. 
Pink Weeper Crab Each $3.50, Three $9.75 
A splendid specimen plant for the lawn which grows from 
12-15 feet high. The weeping branches, covered with 
crimson-purple blossoms, droop to the ground. Shipping 
plants 4 to 5 feet. 
12 
lowering Sath 
More and more gardeners are planting more and more flowering shrub 
borders. They are extremely valuable for screening, take a minimum of care 
and are a truly permanent planting. Careful selection will provide bloom 
throughout the summer. 
Planting: Dig a hole (placing the topsoil on one side) 8 to 10 inches wider 
and deeper than you need to accommodate the roots. Place the plant. Put 
the topsoil in the bottom of the hole. When all the topsoil has been used, 
water thoroughly. Then finish with the subsoil and leave a dish of earth 
about 18 inches in diameter with a 6-inch rim. Fill with water—and fill at 
least once a week during the first summer. If you live nearby you might 
want Easimove shrubs—they’ve been grown in their own ample tarpaper pots. 
They have heavy root balls; won’t know they have been moved. 
ALTHEA 
(Rose of Sharon) 
These shrubs grow erect and stately and formally—in- 
formally they bloom their heads off from July to frost. 
Ultimate height is about 10 feet. 
Lucy Each $1.75, Three $4.75 
A double rose-red flower. The only hardy variety. 
AZALEA (The Hardy Mollis) 
Azalea Mollis is a plant of gorgeous variety and beauty; 
it is very hardy; and, contrary to popular belief, it does 
not require an acid soil. All Azalea Mollis wants is a 
respectable soil, an occasional top dressing of well rotted 
cow manure (or dried cow dung); it does not require an 
inordinate amount of water. Mollis does well in shade 
but prefers full sun. Do not cultivate deeply as the fine 
root mass is very close to the surface. 
To get blooms in profusion year after year pick off 
the pods before seeds mature. If planted where tempera- 
tures go below 10 degrees minus, tops should be covered 
to prevent buds from blasting. We are sorry, but we are 
behind on deliveries with some of the named varieties. 
We suggest, though, that you order now for future de- 
livery. These shipping plants are heavily budded, most 
will bloom the first season. 
Chevalier de Reali Each $5.00, Three $14.00, Doz. $50.00 
Large flowers of pale lemon-yellow. 
Directeur Moerlands Each $5.00, Three $14.00, Doz. $50.00 
Soft pale yellow shading somewhat to apricot-yellow. 
Dr. M. Osthoek Each $5.00, Three $14.00, Doz. $50.00 
Brilliant fiery azalea-pink with a soft almost burnt- 
orange glow. 
Koster’s Brilliant Red Each $5.50, Three $15.00, Doz. $55.00 
As named, a brilliant, vermilion-red. 
Mixed Varieties Each $2.50, Three $7.00, Doz. $25.00 
These run the gamut of Azalea shades—amber, salmon- 
orange, copper, gold, yellow, flame-ied, etc. Ultimate 
height runs from 3 to 6 feet. Shipping stock is three years 
old; it has flower buds and some will bloom a bit the 
first season. 
AZALEA PONTICA 
(Hardy Ghent Azaleas) 
These are even hardier than Azalea Mollis but their 
blooming time, soil requirements and general habit of 
growth are the same. Their special merit, besides ex- 
treme hardiness, is the unusual range of colors in the 
group. While the flowers are not as large as Mollis, they 
have equal brilliance and to many fanciers their varia- 
tions of tint are more spectacular. Plants offered are 14 
to 18 inches high with flowering buds. 
Each $4.00, Three $11.00 
Almost white with traces of pink. 
Bouquet de Flore 
Brilliant clusters of deep pink. 
Daviesi 
Each $3.00, Three $7.75
