teris tops kill back to the roots. This doesn’t hurt the plant 
at all—the new growth is luxuriant and it blooms heavily. 
Strongly rooted plants. 
Blue Mist Each $1.50, Three $4.00, Doz. $15.00 
CLETHRA ALNIFOLIA 
(Sweet Pepperbush) 
A slow growing shrub reaching a height of not over 10 
feet upon maturity. The leaves are two-toned green and 
quite lovely; they turn to bright clear yellow in autumn. 
It does best in low, wet places (or in moist uplands) and 
because it grows well in half shade it is an excellent 
shrub for naturalizing. Order in pink or white. 
18 to 24 inch plants Each $1.75, Three $4.75, Doz. $17.50 
COTONEASTER 
(The Queen of Shrubs) 
Let it be said that it is one Queen of Shrubs and perhaps 
the Chinese were somewhat over-enthusiastic in calling 
it The Queen. It is outstanding, however, for the rich 
colors of its autumnal foliage and for the conspicuous 
clusters of berries ranging in color from brilliant orange- 
scarlet through varying shades of red to black. They are 
preceded by a profusion of pinky-white flowers wreath- 
ing the small branches. Because they thrive in shade or 
sun, in damp or dry soils, they are extremely usable. 
Each $2.50, Three $7.00, Doz. $25.00 
This so-called Cranberry Cotoneaster is a dwarf reaching 
about 4 feet in height. Its arching branches are weighed 
down with bright crimson fruit in the fall and its foliage 
is shiny green through December. Hardy. 
Divaricata Each $2.50, Three $7.00 
Grows from 5 to 6 feet high and has a graceful spread- 
ing habit. It has small polished green leaves and thous- 
ands of red egg-shaped berries. In the fall the leaves 
turn brilliantly. 
Apiculata 
HYPERICUM 
There are several varieties of this fine low-growing shrub 
that flowers brilliantly from early summer until stopped 
by frost. They make excellent specimen plantings in the 
perennial border or in the foreground of shrub plant- 
ings. We list only ‘‘Sungold’—it just happens to be the 
oest Hypericum and we've forgotten about the others. 
‘Sungold’”’ (Patent #518) 
Each $2.50, Three $7.00, Doz. $25.00

oval, grows 2¥2 to 3 feet in diameter, holds its height

summer. Blooms are cymes of golden flowers at the end 
of each shoot of the summer’s new growth. They are pro- 
duced in tremendous quantities all summer.

prune. Philadelphus is hardy, requiring no special culture.
