EUONYMUS 
Alatus compactus (Dwarf Flame) 
Each $2.50, Three $7.00, Doz. $25.00 
In the Arnold Arboretum in Boston this shrub causes much comment 
each autumn for its unbelievable brilliance of foliage. Its compact 
growth, easy culture, and slow growth make it one of the outstanding 
shrubs for hedges as well as individual specimens in the garden. Its 
ultimate height is six feet. Be sure to plant one or more of them in 
your garden for a brilliant autumn foliage display. Does well in shade. 
Monstrosus : Each $4.00 
A rare new shrub particularly interesting during the winter. Its bark is 
corky and spreads out in big flat wings of most interesting character. 
The common Euonymus alatus does this also but not in the same degree 
as this new variety Monstrosus. Grows beautifully in shade or full sun; 
in autumn its foliage becomes a brilliant, glowing, fiery mass. Ultimate 
height about 5 feet. Grows anywhere and is hardy anywhere. 
Patens Each Three _ Doz. 100 
Bushy plants, 15 to 18 inches $1.75 $4.75 $17.50 $120.00 
Bushy plants, 18 to 24 inches $2.50 7.00 25.00 190.00 
This is one of the finest and easiest grown evergreen shrubs. Compact 
and shapely, and ultimately about six feet tall. Its foliage is rich green, 
somewhat like that of Euonymus Vegetus and remains on the plant 
practically throughout the entire winter and is quickly replaced by shiny 
new foliage. In spring it is a plant par excellence for growing in shady 
places, under tall trees or in sunless corners. It makes a fine hedge and 
can be pruned any way to suit. Blends beautifully with evergreens, 
rows equally well on acid or alkaline soils and is iron-clad hardy. 
n autumn numerous orange berries add to its charm. Transplants 
easily either in fall or spring. Does excellently in shade. 
FRANKLINIA (GORDONIA) ALATAMAHA 
This exquisite Fall-flowering tree was brought in 1777 from the banks 
of the Alatamaha River in Georgia to Bartram’s garden at Philadelphia. 
John Bartram, recognizing its extraordinary beauty and value, named it in 
honor of his life-long friend, Benjamin Franklin. 
The original grove of Franklinia trees was again visited in 1790, but 
from that day to this, no one has seen these trees growing in the wild, 
grough many expeditions have searched the banks of the Alatamaha for 
them. 
Each twig develops at its tip a cluster of buds of graduated size, like 
overgrown greenish pearls. Early in August, the largest of these attain 
the size of marbles. Then the guard petal folds back, still retaining its 
firm spherical form. From this shelter emerge four other petals, satiny, 
snowy white, elaborately frilled and pleated. The snowy, frilly chalice, 
3 inches in diameter, holds a sumptuous mass of orange-gold stamens and 
breathes forth a delicate, balmy fragrance. There is a constant succes- 
sion of bloom till hard frost. We frequently get the unusual effect of a 
uiee clad in crimson, autumn foliage and abundantly starred with white 
owers. 
Franklinia prefers full sun, has proved entirely hardy about New York 
and hardy in favorable locations about Boston. It is an especially desirable 
tree for the small, intimate garden. 
2-3-ft. plants, $5.00 each 
HYDRANGEAS 
Acuminata (Laceflower) Each $2.00, Three $5.75, Doz. $20.00 
This new variety is outstanding for its delicately beautiful and very flat 
umbels of blooms. The small inner flowers are light blue tinted and 
surrounded by large white and rose sterile flowers. The effect created 
is delicate and lacy. The foliage is bronzy green. A choice plant of 
upright growth and perfectly hardy. Prefers a moist location but it must 
be well drained, in full sun or light shade. Plant in fall or spring. 
Domotoi (Hardy Semi-Double Hydrangea) 
Each $2.00, Three $5.75, Doz. $20.00 
This beautiful hardy variety produces large, globe-shaped clusters 
12 to 15 inches in diameter, composed of immense semi-double flow- 
ers. Very frequently the main stem produces 3 or 4 additional smaller 
bloom clusters below the main flower head, creating a veritable bou- 
quet. The flower heads are well above the foliage and last 8 to 10 
weeks or more. The color is pure pink on alkaline soil but will change 
to a magnificent light blue if the plant is grown in acid soil. It grows 
into a stout plant two to three feet in diameter and about the same 
in height, has healthy decorative foliage throughout the season, and 
last but not least it is one of the hardiest of the Hydrangeas. No 
matter if all of last season’s growth freezes back to the ground, the 
blooms are produced on the new*growth. An impressive, showy Hy- 
drangea which will grow in full sun or light shade. 
Praecox Each $2.00, Three $5.75, Doz. $20.00 
This little known and most unusual Hydrangea is much more attractive 
than Paniculata Grandiflora which is commonly used. It makes large 
conical heads which are quite open. The individual florets are larger and 
more widely spaced in the flower, thus giving it a graceful and artistic 
appearance. The branches are stouter and well placed, all in all a fine 
summer flowering shrub of medium height, about 3 feet when fully 
grown. Hydrangea Praecox is a fine addition to the all too short list of 
summer flowering shrubs. Hardy anywhere and of easiest culture. We 
send flowering plants about 2 to 3 feet high. 
Quercifolia Each $2.00, Three $5.75, Doz. $20.00 
The Oakleaf Hydrangea is a rather uncommon bush. It has big, artistic 
leaves, indented, and somewhat ruffled, resembling in a magnified way 
the foliage of some gigantic Oak. The flowers are not a great deal 
unlike those of Hydrangea Paniculata, and are borne in enormous, 
conical heads which are very majestic and showy. Particularly valuable 
for the brilliant autumn coloring. Does well in shade. 
TREE FORM HYDRANGEA 
Paniculata grandiflora, Tree Form _ Each $5.00 
This is a Hydrangea tree with a stem about four feet high on top of 
which are grown several short branches, each one of which will bear 
the well known Hydrangea bloom. This form of tree is particularly 
fine as a single specimen in a flower bed, and they are indispensable 
in the formal garden and look very well on either side of garden steps.
