SORBUS - Mountain Ash 
This prolificly fruiting variety resembles the well known Mountain Ash 
very closely. It does not grow quite as tall, only 20 to 25 feet, but pro- 
duces twice the amount of flowers and fruit. The branches literally bend 
under the brilliant loads of orange fruits. This small tree can be grown in 
every small garden without damaging nearby flowers. Transplants readily. 
We offer nice young trees about 6 feet tall.

joy and satisfaction.

pruning. Ultimate height about 24 to 30 inches.

This is the earliest flowering of the Spireas, in full bloom along with the 
Forsythias. It is a gracefully slender but erect shrub about 4 to 5 feet 
high at maturity. The branches are thin and arching, plentifully. be- 
sprinkled with pure white flowers like snow lingering from winter. It is a 
dainty and very beautiful shrub with feathery fresh green foliage that in 
autumn turns orange and scarlet. Makes a fine informal hedge or 
attractive in groups or singly in the border where its early bloom blenas 
beautifully with Daffodils and early blue Scillas. 
TAMARIX - Tamarisk

is not done, ‘success is doubtful. 
Summer Glow ' Each $2.00, Three $5.75, Doz. $20.00 
_ There is a lacy loveliness and charm about this lovely shrub not found 
in any others. The beautiful silvery blue-green foliage is like a veil. A 
sharp and delightful contrast is made by the‘airy Tyrian rose-pink flower 
spikes which appear on top of the delightful foliage all summer long. The 
flowers and foliage are lovely for cutting. This shrub is also excellent 
for seashore or lakeshore gardens, being very tolerant to salt air and 
wind. The plants we send out will bloom the first year. Ultimate height 
about 8 feet. Can be pruned and kept to 5 or 6 feet if desired. 
VITEX - Chaste Tree 
Macrophylla Each $2.00, Three $5.75, Doz. 20.00 
A graceful shrub with attractive spikes of lovely lavender-blue flowers. 
Blooms profusely from July until fall and grows more than ten feet high 
unless pruned back. It is a most desirable summer-flowering shrub of 
distinctive appearance. Fits in well in the border and is also suitable 
as a lawn plant. Its form, foliage and lilac flowers are very unusual. 
In early spring this plant often appears dead upon first examination. 
The reason for this is that Vitex remains dormant very late and does 
not start into growth until the weather has become quite warm. 
CNew (Weigelas 
The Weigelas are an interesting and useful family of shrubs, flowering in 
May, June and July. The flowers in shape may be likened to those of a 
Foxglove and are borne in immense quantities. They prefer a moist soil and 
- do not like shade or roots of large trees encroaching on them. Otherwise 
their culture is simple. The average ultimate height of most varieties is 
about 5 to 6 feet. 
Avalanche Each $2.00, Three $5.75, Doz. $20.00 
This is the best pure white Weigela. !t grows about 5 to 6 feet high. In

i Elabas alongside of Bristol Ruby. We send plants about 2 to 3 
eettall: 
Fairy Each $2.00, Three $5.75, Doz. $20.00

| / Bristol Ruby (Plant Patent No 492) 
| SPRING AND AUTUMN FLOWERING 
The color of the flowers is a pleasing sparkling ruby-red, shading to 
garnet-crimson. They are produced in immense quantities and create a 
wonderful display of colors. After the big spring display is past there is 
again a fine showing of bloom throughout the summer and entire autumn. 
Few shrubs produce flowers as freely and over so long a period as does 
Bristol Ruby Weigela. It attains a height of 6 to 7 feet at maturity, and 
grows into a perfectly formed, well-rounded specimen requiring very little 
Pruning because it flowers well from old wood; no die-back or uneven 
1 growth at any time. Excellent reports from Canada and Vermont and other 
difficult regions fully substantiate our own estimate of its unusual harai- 
ness. Bristol Ruby is definitely superior to any other red Weigela in every 
respect and visitors here at the nursery are quick to note its better qualities.
