The blossoms of Japanese Dogwood appear 
after the foliage has developed. 
LALAND FIRETHORN 
Pyracantha coccinea lalandi 
A spectacular evergreen shrub with small clusters 
of white flowers in mid-June. The orange-red fruits 
are borne in the greatest profusion, and when it does 
well no other shrub supplies so much vivid winter 
color. Boston is about the northern limit where the 
Firethorn will succeed. 
Planted on a warm sunny side it makes a wonderful 
wall shrub, or with a little pruning it gives the effect 
of a self-supporting vine.

NURSERY GROWN STOCK 
If you have ever attempted to go into the fields and dig up 
Bayberry or Beach Plum, you realize what miserable roots they 
have. Transplanting these is usually disappointing. 
Even nursery grown Bayberry and Beach Plum do not have 
fibrous root systems such as those of Spirea or Mockorange. 
But nursery grown plants transplant much more successfully 
than collected plants. 
Every customer should realize that in planting in dry or 
poor soils where the plants are subjected to constant violent 
winds and scorching dry weather such as we have had during 
the past three summers, that plants must have care. 
Remember that failure is not always the fault of the plants 
under such conditions. Remember too — “A patient gardener 
is the most successful one.”

JAPANESE DOGWOOD — Cornus kousa 
We don’t want to suggest, or even intimate, that the 
Japanese Dogwood is one of the salt-wind-loving trees, 
but it is one of the few trees that flower in mid to late 
June some three weeks after our native Dogwood is 
through flowering. 
If you have a sheltered place protected by Pines or 
other growth, you will want to plant one or more of 
these, — and they make a delightful gift for a friend. 
They will succeed in full sun or partial shade. 
The flowers are white, similar to the common Flower- 
ing Dogwood, and are followed by raspberrylike, red 
fruits which are very effective in the late Summer. 
These trees have dense, lustrous foliage that turns 
scarlet in the Autumn. 
(These are dug, balled and burlapped.)
