PHILADELPHUS (Mockorange) 
Atlas (Giant Mockorange) Each $2.50, Three $7.00 
It is the flowers that are giants, not the plants, although 
they will attain a considerable size if not pruned. The 
huge blossoms (3 inches across) are as large as Dogwood 
blooms and they make excellent cut flowers—so you will 
prune. Philadelphus is hardy, requiring no special culture. 
Enchantment (Double) Each $3.00, Three $8.50 
Its branches are erect and on maturity the bush rarely 
grows over 6 feet. The flowers, set very closely, are 
double and sweetly fragrant. It will grow well in light 
shade. 
Innocence Each $2.50, Three $7.00 
An alabaster-white mockorange producing heavily. 
Flowers are delicately fragrant. Height at maturity is 
about 6 feet. 
SALIX (Willow) 
French Pussy Willow Each $1.25, Three $3.50, Doz. $12.00 
Not the unreliable wild Pussy Willow but a fine French 
cultivated variety. You see branches of these selling in 
florist shops for $5.00 a dozen during the later winter 
months. So grow them yourself. Cut the ends of branches 
in January or February and place in water indoors. The 
large, silver-pink catkins (1 to 2 inches long) will start 
unfolding shortly and will last in a cool room for two 
weeks. When planting cut the branches back to 6 inches 
to promote long, vigorous new canes. Keep pruning 
heavily each spring (after catkins have formed) or Salix 
will grow to 10 feet. 
HIBISCUS (Mallow) 
The following are all giant hybrids of a new strain. The 
immense Hollyhock-like flowers measure up to 12 inches 
across on stalks which rise to 6 feet. The plant kills back 
to the ground in winter. Crowns are hardy. They are 
best planted in mass some distance from the house in 
rich, moist but well-drained soil. Blooms come in July- 
August.

LILACS (The French Hybrids) 
If you like the old-fashioned lilacs (and who doesn’t) 
you'll certainly want these lovely things. The hybridizers 
have been working with them, particularly the great 
French horticulturist Lemoine, and Lilacs are now works 
of art. The trusses are huge and many varieties make 
excellent cut flowers. All of these new Lilacs come into 
bloom at a much younger age than the old ones.

Broad spikes of very large single flowers of azure-lilac 
lightened by a conspicuous white center.

Each $4.00, Three $11.00 
Trusses covered with immense double flowers of purest 
alabaster white.

VIBURNUM 
One of the most fragrant and beautiful shrubs. After 
flowering in the spring they make heavy mounds of dark 
green clear to the ground and in the fall they turn bril- 
liantly. 
Burkwoodi Each $5.00, Three $14.00 
This new English hybrid is a most amenable plant—it 
thrives in sun or shady places. It is also low-growing (6 
feet upon maturity) and ideal for today’s smaller estab- 
lishments. Flowers are produced in early spring when 
leaf buds are unfolding and form round, domed clusters 
which are fragrant enough to perfume a neighborhood. 
Foliage is shiny dark green in summer; turns brilliant in 
autumn. Shipping-size plants 2 to 3 feet. Larger speci- 
mens in Easimove pots available at the Sales Center. 
Carlesi Each $5.00, Three $14.00 
Flower domes are, of course, as fragrant as Burkwoodi 
although slightly smaller. It, too, is very hardy and easily 
grown. Carlesi reaches 10 feet upon maturity and when 
planted close on a line makes a sensational screen or 
big hedge.
