Hypericum 
Attractive and charming low growing, summer-flowering shrubs. 
Their brilliant flowers are beautifully formed and grow on slender 
branches from early summer until stopped by frost. Excellent subjects 
for the flower border or in the foreground of taller shrubs, as well as 
for ground covering. 
Calycinum Each $1.25, Three $3.50, Doz. $12.00, 100 $85.00 
This is a most valuable variety because it can also be used as a 
ground cover for both sunny and semi-shady places. The under- 
ground runners are produced so freely as to completely cover the 
ground; at the tops the golden yellow flowers shine like jewels. Its 
height is about 12 to 18 inches. We recommend this as one of the 
best and hardiest. 
Hidcote Each $1.50, Three $4.00, Doz. $15.00 
From the famous Hidcote estate in England, we obtained this fine va- 
riety a few years ago. It grows into a twiggy shrub about 18 inches 
tall and about the same diameter. Throughout the summer, it is cov- 
f ered with bright yellow cuplike flowers about 2 inches in diameter. 
Hy In cold winters, it freezes back to the ground but this does not matter 
i) because it springs up from the base producing each summer its masses 
of blooms. A fine shrub for the foreground in the border in cold 
climates. In the temperate parts of the country it will reach a height 
of about 3 to 4 ft. Flowers are fragrant and appear late June continuing 
until mid-October. 
Yu (U. S. Plant 
Hypericum, Sungold Patent No. 568) 
A hardy, shapely, dwarf shrub which grows into an almost completely 
oval shape of 214 to 3 feet in diameter, and about 18 to 24 inches in 
height, densely covered with foliage that is handsome throughout the 
summer. It bears its cymes of golden flowers at the end of every shoot 
of the summer's new growth. It flowers more freely and much longer 
than any of the Hypericum Patulum now in general use. Its flowers 
are bigger and produced in immense quantities, transforming this lovely 
plant into a small mound of gold when in full bloom. 
Of particular interest and value is its exceptional hardiness. In our 
nursery tests over five years it has proven its ability to withstand cold 
weather as well as outgrow and outbloom any Hypericum we have ever 
seen. The average size of bloom is from 214 to 3 inches in diameter.

As a small “‘accent’” plant it is faultless. For small hedges it is a jewel,

ILEX CONVEXA 
Small Hedging Size 
It is a very fortunate fact that is is possible to transplant the 
smaller sizes of Ilex convexa without a ball of earth, and obtain com- 
plete success, providing the transplanting is done before the end of 
May. A reasonable amount of watering shortly after planting is ad- 
visable although Ilex convexa does not do well in overly wet soil. It 
prefers good drainage and full sun. Its popularity is spreading and it is 
being used in increasing numbers. We can well understand this be- 
cause we do not know of many other plants as handsome as this. 
Please turn to page 131 where you will see an illustration of Ilex 
convexa in color. We have grown a number of this type of plant for 
hedging purposes, and they will average from about 8 to 12 inches or 
better in height. Nice tall well grown plants, but not quite as bushy 
as those grown in pots. Space them 12 to 15 inches apart and before 
many summers go by, you will have a lovely medium size evergreen 
hedge you'll enjoy always.

Glabra Each $4.00, Three $11.00, Doz. $40.00 
The Inkberry is a loose, spreading shrub, 4 to 5 feet high at maturity, 
with shining dark green leaves and a profusion of glittering black 
berries through the winter. It is an excellent plant for hedges in shady 
situations. It may also be effectively used as individual plants mixed 
with evergreens or in front of the shrubbery border. 
Serrata (Sieboldi) Each $2.00, Three $5.75, Doz. $20.00 
This is the deciduous Holly. It is slow growing and ultimately reaches 
a height of about 10 feet. In winter, after the leaves have been shed, 
it is one of the most showy shrubs because of the persistent brilliant 
red berries which hang on practically all winter. They make a cheerful 
showing outside against the snow and are charming for cutting and 
winter decorations.
