CRAPE MYRTLE (Lagerstroemia Indica) — Classed 
by many as the finest flowering garden shrub. Often 
known as the Lilac of the South. Fully hardy as far 
north as northern Maryland. In more northern loca- 
tions it dies back to the ground each winter, but as it 
is the habit of Crape Myrtle to bloom on new wood, 
the new canes that sprout from the vigorous root 
system each spring are a mass of flowers by mid- 
summer, the blooms are large rich in color and very 
attractive. Your choice of red or purple. 2 year 
plants, 75¢ each; 3 for $2.10. 
AZALEA MOLLIS — Truly one of the aristocrats of 
the flower family, absolutely hardy, and covered with 
a mass of orange and yellow blossoms in May and 
early June before the leaves appear. Azalea Mollis 
is a most strikingly beautiful shrub on our grounds 
and attracts more attention through the month of May 
than anything else in our gardens. Plant as a border 
or in beds by themselves. These plants are loaded 
with flower buds. Heavy 12 to 15 inch plants, $1.50 
each; 3 for $4.05. 
OAK LEAF HYDRANGEA 
A rather new and rare shrub that is a joy to behold. 
In June it has superb panicles of white flowers, often a

attractive all season, especially so in the fall when 
it colors a glorious deep, rich crimson. It makes a 
large, spreading bush 5 to 6 feet tall and 8 to 10 feet 
wide at maturity. It will certainly be the center of 
attraction in your yard. Grows in sun or partial shade 
and is perfectly hardy. 12 to 18 inch plants, 85¢ each; 
3 for $2.40.
