CALLUNA AND ERICA - Heaths and Heathers 
The Heaths are compact, low. growing evergreen plants, and as such 
are extremely useful for planting in front..of evergreens or as edgings. 
The small foliage is densely arranged around the wiry little stems, and 
either when in full bloom or in midwinter makes a very pretty picture. 
Culture. All Heaths and Heathers require a warm, well-drained soil. Half 
peat and loam freely mixed with coarse sand to which a liberal quantity 
of well-rotted cow manure has been added suits them best. _

Floridus Each $2.00, Three $5.75, Doz. $20.00

without any other qualification. In some places it is referred to as the 
“‘Sweet-scented Shrub,” the ‘Sweet Shrub,” or the ‘/Strawberry Shrub.”

During the summer, the plant is neat and very handsome, with glossy,

Coreis Ching 
Chinese Redbud 
Chinensis Each $3.00, Three $8.50, Doz. $32.00 
This charming, brilliant spring-flowering shrub is a Chinese counter- 
part of the American native Redbud. It flowers at the same time, but 
the quantity and quality of its flowers far surpass those of our com- 
mon wild form. It is shrub-like in growth, and when in bloom every 
branch and twig is covered with thousands of bright purple blossoms 
almost double the size of the common variety and noticeably darker.

80 feet high, usually with several trunks. Its handsome, round or heart- 
shaped foliage is especially attractive, being purplish pink when unfold- 
ing, then becoming green and bronze, turning scarlet and gold in the 
autumn. Several planted in a row 10 feet apart form a fine wall of 
foliage. Far more satisfactory than Lombardy Poplars. Beautiful as an 
individual specimen. Its maidenhair fern-like foliage is put into motion 
by the slightest breeze. 
CHERRIES, FLOWERING. (See page 167.) 
CLETHRA ALNIFOLIA ROSEA 
The Pepper Bush is a compact neat plant of many slender, upright 
branches rarely over four to five feet high. Each branch is topped 
with finger-like clusters of small deliciously scented pink flowers. 
To many people, the fragrance is reminiscent of pepper; hence, its 
name. This is a very fine and useful shrub, especially for low moist 
places or damp woodland conditions. It grows equally well in full sun 
or shade. Here is the rare pink form of the much loved white 
Pepper Bush, giving bloom when most needed in late summer and 
early autumn with fine dark green foliage to boot. 
Each $2.50, Three $7.00, Doz. $25:00 
CORYLUS 
Contorta Each $7.50 
A rare shrub which is frequently referred to as the ‘“‘Harry Lauder’s 
walking stick bush.”’ Its fantastically twisted. turned and almost cork- 
screw-like branches will remind one of Harry’s famous cane. Slow of 
growth but easily cared for. Like all Filberts, it does well in either sun 
or shade. Plant it where you can enjoy the curiously twisted branches in 
the winter against the snow. Ultimate height about 7 feet. Here is a 
really good conservation piece.
