NIKKO BLUE Y 
$55 Blue Hydrangea. We offer a new variety, Nikko Blue, which all 
summer has immense flower heads, often a foot across, that last for 
many weeks. In ordinary soil the flowers are pink. In acid soil, they are 
blue. You can make your soil acid by mixing in one half Peat Moss (see 
page 6). Or, you can water twice a month with a tablespoon of aluminum 
sulphate per gallon of water to make the color a rich blue. If you cannot 
get aluminum sulphate from your drug store we will send you some for 
50c postpaid. 
Does best in partial or full shade, even on north side of house. Grows 
only 3 to 4 feet tall making a well rounded shrub just as wide. A group of 
2 or 3 will enhance the beauty of a picture window in your home. Where 
winter temperature goes below zero give protection just like roses by 
mounding up 10 to 12 inches of soil around the plant before severe freez- 
ing weather. We do not recommend planting north of central Iowa. Our 
plants are well rooted field grown (not small greenhouse potted plants). 
Becomes more popular each passing year.

tiful of all shrubs, becomes a different color with each season. 
Yellow flowers in May-June followed by red berries which are 
very attractive in late summer and fall. Through the sum- 
mer the foliage is an attractive dark green. In the fall it colors 
brilliant coppery-crimson tinged rose. An unusual corky bark 
adds to the winter appearance of this marvelous shrub. Thrives 
successfully from coast to coast, the Gulf to Canada. Makes a 
compact, bushy plant 4 to 5 feet tall and 3 to 4 feet wide. 
Very fine for foundation planting or individual settings. Very 
attractive with the new modern homes. A shrub that is orna- 
mental and attracts attention spring, summer, fall and winter. 
Has a place in almost every yard. The plants we send you are 
especially fine this spring. POSTPAID.

$155 WINTER-GREEN (Euonymus Patens)—One 
of the most attractive and versatile of all shrubs. 
Lustrous, glossy green leaves stay on all winter, 
especially when planted in part or full shade. Makes 
a shapely bush 5 to 7 feet tall but can easily be 
trimmed to any desired height. Bright red _ berries 
appearing in the fall, hang on into winter. Fine for 
foundation planting, as specimens, and a perfect 
background behind low shrubs, roses and peren- 
nials. Makes a wonderful hedge with its green foliage 
all through the winter. Thrives in sun or part shade, 
or even on the north side of house. Hardy here in 
southern Iowa but we do not advise planting far- 
ther north. Look over your yard and you will find 
spots where this shrub will help make your home 
more attractive. This spring they are extra fine, very 
well-branched. This fine shrub can be used instead of 
evergreens. Hasier to grow, not as expensive, and 
grows faster. See Page 26 for Hedging Sizes.
