| densely covered with small, fernlike leaves and studded with intensely 
brilliant gclden yellow, Buttercup-like flowers from early June until 
October. This delightful small shrub may be used in front of the shrub 
border or in the foreground of any perennial planting. It does best in 
full sun and is hardy in below zero temperatures. The original plant 
we selected from the common Potentilla Fruticosa. It is far supertor 
both in flowering qualities, habit and general appearance. We know 
of no shrubs which flower so consistently and remain so cheerfully

Mahonia Aquifolium 
| Pryracant Firethorn 
Coccinea Lalandi Each $2.50, Three $7.00, Doz. $25.00 
A most remarkable fruiting evergreen shrub. Bears attractive large 
trusses of white flowers during the late spring followed by an abun- 
dance of brilliant orange-scarlet berries which remain late into the 
winter. A marvelous plant for foundation planting where soil is dry. 
The long shoots it makes can be used as a vine over a doorway or 
along a window casing. The plants can be trimmed to fit any position. 
It is difficult to transplant field-grown or large plants. We therefore 
send young stock from 6-inch pots which will reach a height of 2 to 3 
feet the first year. It prefers a warm, well-drained location.
