Alnifolia rosea. The Pepperbush is a 
compact, neat plant with many slender, 
upright branches, rarely over 4 to 5 feet 
high. Each branch is topped with finger- 
like clusters of small, deliciously scented 
pink flowers. To many people, the fra- 
grance is reminiscent of pepper, hence its 
name. This is a very fine and useful 
shrub, especially for low moist places or 
damp woodland conditions. It _ grows 
equally well im full sun or shade. Here is 
the rare pink form of the much loved 
white Pepperbush, giving bloom when 
most needed in late summer and early 
autumn, with fine dark green foliage to 
boot. $2.00 each; 3 for $5.00; 6 for $9.50.

Lynwood Gold. Without question, the 
finest new  Forsythta. The upright 
branches are literally smothered under

greater substance. For a magnificent show 
of golden yellow, there is nothing better. 
Superb for cutting and flowering in the 
house during the winter. Ultimate height 
5 to 7 feet. A worthwhile companion for 
the already popular Sprmg Glory. 2 to 3- 
ft. plants, $2.25 each; 3 for $6.00. 
Spring Glory. A lovely pale yellow variety, 
a sight not easily forgotten. Large, pale 
yellow flowers cover the branches in such 
masses that they literally bend with the 
weight. The individual flowers are larger 
and much more beautiful than any of the 
common Forsythias. The erect bush at- 
tains a height of 6 to 10 feet. 2 to 3-ft.
