Davidia Involucrata 
English Hawthorns 
(Crataegus Oxyacantha) 
State regulations forbid the sending of Crataegus, Cydonia and Malus 
into Colorado and Utah 
The English Haw or Hawthorn is a lovely flowering shrub or small tree 
about 15 feet high, with spreading branches and stout spines. The leaves 
are broad, the 3 to 5 lobes much toothed. Its flowers are in large clusters 
and produced in immense quantities. The fruits are scarlet. They are 
especially well suited for the small garden or as specimens on the lawn 
where a Maple would be too big and create too much shade. 
Paul’s Scarlet English Hawthorn 
Each $5.00, Three $14.00, Doz. $50.00 
This is a brilliant rosy red, double-flowered variety. One of the choicest 
ornamental trees in existence. Foolproof and hardy; sure blooming. It 
is a joy to see it each spring. 
Crataegus, Autumn Glory Each $5.59, Three $15.00 
This magnificent Hybrid Thorn grows into a medium sized tree about 
15 to 18 feet high. Makes a shapely head and has deep green foli- 
age. In spring it is very attractive with its many big clusters of white 
blooms. But in early«autumn it really is a sight to behold when the 
immense clusters of giant berries turn a brilliant red. In our opinion 
it is even more spectacular than the well known and popular Moun- 
tain Ash. The fruit remains on the tree well into the winter. A rare, 
beautiful and unusual small tree you will enjoy in your garden for 
many, many years. (See page 139.)

DAVIDIA 
Involucrata (Dove Tree) ; Each $18.00 
The Dove Tree is one of the rarest trees in cultivation and originally 
came from Western China where old specimens reach the height of 40 
to 50 feet. It is slow to start but once established, growth is rapid. 
Any ordinary soil suits it. The leaves are mulberry-like and sweet 
scented when bruised. The outstanding feature of the tree consists of 
two large white bracts of unequal size, enveloping the flowers which 
develop in late May. The hanging white bracts are almost constantly 
in motion and resemble doves in flight. This is one of the most beauti- 
ful trees in existence. After 15 years work we have produced a very 
few which have been grown in bush form about 4 feet tall and offer 
these at $18.00 each. We believe there are no other plants of this 
size obtainable in America. We do not recommend your attempt to 
grow this beautiful tree in the colder sections of this country; south of 
Philadelphia is safe or temperatures milder than encountered there. 
DESMODIUM : 
Shrublike plants producing long, willow-like canes which give the plants 
a lovely effect. Its thousands of purple blossoms are a magnificent sight 
late in the fall. 
Culture. Any good garden soil will do. Plant in full sun in the hardy 
border together with purple and bronze Chrysanthemums or at the base of 
shrubs. Remove all growth in spring, cutting the plant back to the ground. 
Penduliflorum Each $2.00, Three $5.75, Doz. $20.00 
A lovely shrublike plant for the hardy border or shrub border. Arched, 
slender branches are covered with hundreds of drooping racemes of 
liquid purple flowers which make a gorgeous display late in the autumn. 
DEUTZIA 
All Deutzias are showy flowering shrubs of very bushy habit. The 
have many stems rising directly from the root, arching upward and outward, 
thickly covered with foliage which almost completely disappears in May 
under a superabundance of panicles of small, frilled, bell-like flowers. They 
are hardy throughout most of the country. 
Gracilis Each $1.50, Three $4.00, Doz. $15.00 
Seldom more than 2 or 3 feet high. This is one of the prettiest and 
most graceful of all the Deutzias. The plant makes a fountain-like 
bush attractive at all times of the year. In May it is covered with 
an astonishing profusion of delicate snowy white flowers. It does well 
in light shade and is Well adapted for low edging to walks or paths, 
excellent in clumps in the foreground in the border. 
Crenata pendula Each $2.00, Three $5.75, Doz. $20.00 
This beautiful, strong growing hybrid came to us from France a few 
years ago. It produces large, single, milk-white flowers in handsome 
pyramidal clusters. Shown in England a few years ago, it received an 
Award of Merit from the Royal Horticultural Society. Its low, pendulant 
growth and modest height, 3 to 4 feet, make it an excellent shrub for 
foreground planting. Last, but not least, is the enormous amount of 
flowers which completely cover the bush at flowering time. 
FUCHSIA 
Culture. Ordinary good loam, well drained. They do not like heavy, 
wet clay soils. Do well in shady places where it is difficult to flower other 
plants. Magellanica is a hardy variety, wintering over outdoors if the plants 
are protected with straw during the winter. 
Magellanica Each 90c, Three $2.25, Doz. $6.50 
This most interesting shrub came to us from the New York Botanical 
Garden, where it has proven entirely hardy. It is in bloom all summer 
long until stopped by frost. The ruby-red pendent flowers are pro- 
duced by the hundreds, flowering just as freely in full sun as in light 
shade. A most interesting plant for the flower border or rock garden, 
blooming all summer. Like all Fuchsias, they are well adapted for shady 
locations. We advise protection anywhere north of Philadelphia. 
Magellanica alba Each 90c, Three $2.25, Doz. $6.50 
Has the same habit of growth as Magellanica but the pendent flowers 
are blush-white. A charming variety which also is somewhat hardier. 
Magellanica Folia Variegata Each 90c, Three $2.25, Doz. $6.50 
This is the variegated or marbled foliage form .of Magellanica. The 
leaves are handsomely colored in shades of pink, bronze, and soft 
yellow. This foliage coloration is most attractive and very much 
increases the interest and usefulness of this hardy Fuchsia.
