WEIGELA 
Lovely shrubs flowering in May, June and July. Their Fox- 
glove-like flowers are borne in profusion. Most Weigela 
like a moist soil and should stand without competition 
from the shade or roots of large trees. 
Bristol Ruby Each $1.75, Three $4.75, Doz. $17.50 
Immense quantities of ruby-red flowers in the spring. The 
plant then blooms on and off during the rest of the sea- 
son. Height at maturity is 6-7 feet. This is the best Weigela 
for specimen planting or forward border work. 
Eva Ratke Each $1.00, Three $2.75, Doz. $8.50 
Dark rose-red flowers in the spring. Matures at 7 to 8 feet 
and because it grows close to the ground is fine for 
screening. 
Rosea Each $1.50, Three $4.00 
Rose-pink flowers, blooms May-June. Excellent for screen- 
ing. 
KOLKWITZIA AMABILIS 
(Beauty Bush) 
A favorite of pink bell-shaped flowers in June. It tolerates 
poor or dry sandy soil and is of easiest culture. The folli- 
age is heavy and covers the plant to the ground. Height, 
8 feet. 
Each $2.25, Three $6.25, Six $12.00 
LONICERA 
(Honeysuckle Bush) 
Tatarica Each $1.25, Three $3.50, Doz. $12.00 
An upright but spreading shrub bearing pink and white 
flowers in late May and June. Fragrant. An excellent 
shrub for screening as it reaches 10 feet. 
FORSYTHIA-SPRING GLORY 
This is the Bush that grew in Brooklyn—the common varie- 
ties are everywhere and although they are quite beauti- 
ful, Spring Glory is so much more beautiful that we urge 
you to get it instead of accepting a chunk of root of 
a common variety from an obliging neighbor. Spring 
Glory produces twice as many flowers as common For- 
sythia. Also, the blossoms are larger and of a pale yellow 
that is more pleasing than the usual citrons. Like ordinary 
Forsythia, branches cut and brought indoors during Janu- 
ary and February burst into bloom a few days later. 
Each $1.75, Three $4.65, Doz. $18.60 
Each $2.25, Three $6.25, Doz. $22.50

evergreens fed OE ry / 
Here is a collection of Evergreens, the Broadleaf and Needle types. It con- 
tains the best ef the Yews, Hemlocks, Arborvitae, Junipers, Holly and Rho- 
dodendron — mostly slow-growing, hardy landscape material. This stock is 
of highest quality, scarce and in heavy demand. 
Mail order customers please take note: we have added small sizes in 
many varieties of the needle Evergreens — the useful Yews and Arborvitae. 
They are husky fellows running ten to twelve inches. They are balled and 
burlapped and can be shipped economically anywhere. You'll find the prices 
reasonable. In a few seasons these fine plants will grow into yery valuable 
specimens. We particularly recommend them to the new home-owner who 
wants the best in landscape material, but who would rather grow his own 
specimens than make the heavy investment such plants require.
