ROYAL PURPLE, Smoke Tree 
S$ 40 A new Smoke Tree offered by us for the first 
time in 1952. For foliage and flowers it is the most 
striking shrub we have ever seen. The leaves area 
rich purple and in mid-summer it is covered with 
huge masses of the feathery purple flowers, pro- 
ducing an effect unequalled by any other shrub. 
Grows 8 to 10 feet tall and 6 feet wide. Marvelous 
for background planting and as individual speci- 
mens. It has proven hardy with us but we do not 
advise planting north of central Iowa. Prefers a 
sunny location. Postpaid. 
VIVID COLOR Azalea, Mollis 
Imported from Holland 
We are happy to announce that we found in Holland a superior strain 
of Azalea Mollis which not only has larger, brighter flowers but also is 
adapted to conditions in the mid-west which heretofore has been 
unable to grow this grand shrub. They grow 3 to 4 feet tall and just 
as wide. The lovely flowers cover the bush in May and June, giving 
a display of color unequalled by any other shrub. Prefers partial 
shade and a slightly acid soil. You can make soil acid by mixing 
Peat Moss (see page 6) or common sulphur (get at drug store) with 
your soil when planting. These fine plants are 10 to 18 inches tall, 
branched and will probably give you a few flowers this spring. Stands 
10 to 15 below zero without injury. Postpaid

THESE NEW Summer Lilace 
BLOOM PROFUSELY AND CONTINUOUSLY 
Four new Summer Lilacs (sometimes called Butterfly Bush or Buddleias), 
each the finest of its color. All bloom profusely and continuously from 
early summer to frost. No other shrub can compare with them for 
freedom of bloom. They make an attractive compact bush, 4 feet or so 
tall. The roots are hardy; the tops die down in winter, then come up 
again even more vigorously next spring. The lovely fragrant flowers are 
beautiful in the garden and fine for cutting. Plant in full sun or part 
shade. There is a place in every garden for these beautiful Summer 
Lilacs. Postpaid.
