Fruit of Viburnum Setigerum 
VIBURNUM SETIGERUM 
(Theiferum) 
In the autumn and late summer this shrub is literally covered with 
clusters of brilliant red berries and is one of the outstanding show pieces 
in the garden at that time. We know of no other shrub that is so showy 
and so easily grown. White flowers in early summer and clean, deep 
green, large leaves. This Viburnum belongs in the list of elites. Its 
average height when fully grown is about 10 feet. A rare plant yet 
little known but one of the finest tall shrubs in cultivation. 
Each $2.50, Three $7.00, Doz. $25.00 
ROBINIA - Rose-Acacia 
Monument (Pyramidal Rose-Acacia) Each $6.00, Three $16.00 
The habit of growth of this Rosa-Acacia is not unlike that of the Lom- 
bardy Poplar. And because of this unusual habit we have a small flow- 
ering tree that can be grown in every garden, big or little. It may be 
used as a small lawn specimen or in the shrub border where it will not 
crowd or harm plants near by. During late May and June it is covered 
with drooping clusters of deep rose-colored flowers resembling pea- 
blossoms. Will grow in any soil anywhere. Ultimate height about 10 to 
12 feet. We offer nice plants about six feet. 
SORBUS - Mountain Ash 
This prolificly fruiting variety resembles the well. known Mountain Ash 
very closely. It does not.grow quite as tall, only 20 to 25. feet, but pro- 
duces twice the amount of flowers and fruit. The branches literally bend 
under the brilliant loads of orange fruits. This small tree can be grown in 
every small garden without damaging nearby flowers. Transplants readily. 
We offer nice young trees about 6 feet tall. 
Each $5.00, Three $14.00, Doz. $50.00 
SPIRAEA 
A very important family of shrubs. Most Spiraeas are sun loving, but 
withstand much abuse in location and soil conditions, and are a source of 
joy and satisfaction. 
Bumalda crispa Each $1.50, Three $4.00, Doz. $15.00 
The ornamental foliage of this Spirea is crested and covers the plant 
heavily, giving a most attractive effect. The flowers are deep crimson- 
red and occur throughout the summer. A choice, low growing shrub 
for foreground planting or a colorful low. hedge which requires no 
pruning. Ultimate height about 24 to 30 inches. 
Japonica coccinea Each $1.59, Three $4.00, Doz. $15.00 
Similar in growth and habit to the Anthony sWaterer Spirea. The 
flowers of this new variety are much better and richer crimson-red. 
No one will ever again plant the old Anthony Waterer once they have 
seen this fine improvement. Ultimate height about 30 to 36 inches. 
Mongolica (Snowbank Spirea) Each $1.50, Three $4.00, Doz. $15.00 
This is the earliest flowering of the Spireas, in full bloom along with the 
Forsythias. It is a gracefully slender but erect shrub about 4 to 5 feet 
high at maturity. The branches are: thin and arching, plentifully be- 
sprinkled with pure white flowers like snow lingering from winter. It is a 
dainty and very beautiful shrub with feathery fresh green foliage that in 
autumn turns orange and scarlet. Makes a fine informal hedge or 
attractive in groups or singly in the border where its early bloom blends 
beautifully with Daffodils and early blue Scillas.

TAMARIX - Tamarisk 
Tamarix should be cut back to 6 or 8 inches when transplanted. If this 
is not done, success is doubtful. 
Pink Cascade (Plant Patent No. 1275) Each $3.00 
A beautiful new shrub with masses of cascading panicles of flesh-pink 
flowers. The flower trusses are carried well above rich blue-green foliage 
and occur from July into September. Pink Cascade is doubly valuable 
because it flowers at a time when there are not many other shrubs in 
bloom. Very compact in growth, about 6 feet high. Blooming later 
than other Tamarix makes it a most desirable new plant. Does exceed- 
ingly well on the seashore. Prune it back severely each spring. 
Summer Glow Each $2.00, Three $5.75, Doz. $20.00 
There is a lacy loveliness and charm about this lovely shrub not found 
in any others. The beautiful silvery blue-green foliage is like a veil. A 
sharp and delightful contrast is made by the airy Tyrian rose-pink flower 
spikes which appear on top of the delightful foliage all summer long. The 
flowers and foliage are lovely for cutting. This shrub is also excellent 
for seashore or lakeshore gardens, being very tolerant to salt air and 
wind. The plants we send out will bloom the first year. Ultimate heigne 
about 8 feet. Can be pruned and kept to 5 or 6 feet if desired. 
VITEX - Chaste Tree 
Macrophylla Each $2.00, Three $5.75, Doz. 20.00 
A Graceful shrub with attractive spikes of lovely lavender-blue flowers. 
Blooms profusely from July until fall and grows more than ten feet high 
unless pruned back. It is a most desirable summer-flowering shrub of 
distinctive appearance. Fits in well in the border and is also suitable 
as a lawn plant. Its form, foliage and lilac flowers are very unusual. 
In early spring this plant often appears dead upon first examination. 
The reason for this is that Vitex remains dormant very late and does 
not start into growth until the weather has become quite warm. 
New (Weigelas 
The Weigelas are an interesting and useful family of shrubs, flowering in — 
May, June and July. The flowers in shape may be likened to those of a 
Foxglove and are borne in immense quantities. They prefer a moist soil and 
do not like shade or roots of large trees encroaching on them. Otherwise 
their culture is simple. The average ultimate height of most varieties is 
about 5 to 6 feet. 
Avalanche Each $2.00, Three $5.75, Doz. $20.00 
This is the best pure white Weigela. !t grows about 5 to 6 feet high. In 
late spring and early summer it is a beautiful plant to see with its 
thousands of pure white, trumpet-like blooms. It makes a fine contrast 
if Bionic? alongside of Bristol Ruby. We send plants about 2 to 3 
feet tall. 
Fairy Each $2.00, Three $5.75, Doz. $20.00 
A handsome shrub for any garden, big or small. Grows about 5 feet tall 
and in spring is completely covered with light pink blooms which possess 
a great depth of color and sparkle like pearls. It is early flowering and 
one of the great French hybridst Lemoine‘s latest and best. We send 
plants about 3 to 4 feet tall. 
Bristol Ruby (Plant Patent No 492) 
SPRING AND AUTUMN FLOWERING 
The color of the flowers is a pleasing sparkling ruby-red, shading to 
garnet-crimson. They.are produced in immense quantities and create a 
wonderful display of colors. After the big spring display is past there is 
again a fine showing of bloom throughout the summer and entire autumn. 
Few shrubs produce flowers as freely and over so long a period as does 
Bristol Ruby Weigela. It attains a height of 6 to 7 feet at maturity, and 
grows into a perfectly formed, well-rounded specimen requiring very little 
Pruning because it flowers well from old wood; no die-back or uneven 
growth at any time. Excellent reports from Canada and Vermont and other 
difficult regions fully substantiate our own estimate of its unusual hardi- 
ness. Bristol Ruby is definitely superior to any other red Weigela in every 
respect and visitors here at the nursery are quick to note its better qualities.
