8137 Watermelon Red CRAPE MYRTLE 
The plant which is so much a part of southern beauty, is now available in 
hardy form for those in more northern climates. Habit similar to Buddleia, as it 
dies down to the ground each winter in the North, but throws up new shoots 
each spring and flowers in the summer. If you want a real thrill in plants, we 
recommend this one. Will grow in any good garden soil. Plant about 3 feet apart 
for borders. 12- to 18-inch, $1.00 each; 2 for $1.75; 4 for $3.00, postpaid.

Krider’s Farmous Three-Color Althea 
Old Lyme, Conn, 
Sept. 15, 1952 
Dear Sirs: 
I just want you to 
know how pleased I 
am with the 3-color 
Althea. Last fall you 
sent me a replacement 
3-color Althea which 
was to have red, biue 
and white blooms. It 
ts in bloom right now 
and has four ditferent 
blossoms. There are 
blue, dark red, white 
and light pink, every- 
one ts very excited 
over my shrub. I think 
an Althea with three 
color blooms is won- 
denful but think of 
one with four colors, : 
it is outstanding. ; : : _ sisi ili nueseaul ee
