New forsythias 
Lynwood Gold f 
This splendid new Forsythia originated in Iseland and we predict it will 
replace, before many years, all other varieties of deep yellow color. 
It is one of several fine new shrubs we have obtained in Europe for 
introduction in this country. The branches are erect and literally smoth- 
ered under golden yellow flowers from top to bottom. Not only are 
the flowers produuced in the most profuse manner but the individual 
blooms are better and fuller in form as well as of greater substance, 
apparently never minding bad weather. For a magnificent show of 
golden yellow, there is nothing better. It is superb for cutting and 
flowering in the house during the winter months. It has been care- 
fully tested for several years in Mentor and we recommend it without 
hesitation. Ultimate height 5 to 7 feet depending on conditions. 
Lynwood Gold Forsythia is a worth-while companion to the fine new 
and popular pale yellow variety, Spring Glory, we have been introducing 
during the past few years. 
We offer nice 3- to 4-ft. plants at: 
Each $3.00, Three $8.50, Doz. $32.00 
Bushy 2- to 3-ft. plants at: Each $2.50, Three $7.00, Doz. $25.00 
Spring Glory 
Forsythia Spring Glory is without question the loveliest of all the Golden 
Bells. When seen in bloom, it is a sight not easily forgotten, its large 
pale yellow flowers completely cover the branches in such masses that 
they literally bend with their weight. It would not be far amiss to say 
that it produces twice the number of blossoms of the common For- 
sythia. Further, the pale yellow color is very pleasing and brilliant, 
infinitely more attractive and cheerful than that of the varieties now 
in general use. If you desire a sparkling and cheerful display in your 
garden in early spring, plant a few Forsythia Spring Glory. There is 
nothing which will make you forget winter as quickly nor announce 
spring as flamboyantly. Spring Glory is ‘’the variety’ to grow for flow- 
ering indoors. Branches cut during January and February burst into 
bloom without any trouble in a few days and make a gorgeous show 
in the house during the winter months at practically no cost to you.

age somewhat convex and it grows about 4 feet high and 3 feet across. 
The glossy leaves are so profuse that twigs are invisible. Left to itself it 
grows “informally formal’’ and blends beautifully with other evergreens. 
As a small “accent” plant it is faultless. For small hedges it is a jewel, 
particularly in cold climates where Boxwood is impossible. Space plants eee 
18 inches apart. An absclute ‘‘must’” for every garden. Does well in : 
light shade or full sun and is equally happy on an alkaline or acid soil, 
and last but not least, it is hardy.

Small Hedging Size 
It is a very fortunate fact that it is possible to transplant the 
smaller sizes of Ilex convexa without a ball of earth, and obtain com- 
| plete success, providing the transplanting is done before the end of 
i May. A reasonable amount of watering shortly after planting is ad- 
' visable although Ilex convexa does not do well in overly wet soil. It 
prefers good draincge and full sun. Its popularity is spreading and it is 
being used in increasing numbers. We can well understand this be- 
cause we do not know of many other plants as handsome as this. 
Please turn to page 104 where you will see an illustration of Ilex 
convexa in color. We have grown a number of this type of plant for 
' hedging purposes, and they will average from about 8 to 12 inches or 
' better in height. Nice tall well grown plants, but are not quite as bushy 
as those grown in pots. Space them 12 to 15 inches apart and before 
| many summers go by, you will have a lovely medium size evergreen

hedge you'll enjoy always.

| The Inkberry is a loose, spreading shrub, 4 to 5 feet high at maturity, 
} with shining dark green leaves and a profusion of glittering black 
berries through the winter. It is an excellent plant for hedges in shady 
situations. It may also be effectively used as individual plants mixed 
| with evergreens or in front of the shrubbery border. 
Serrata (Sieboldi) Each $2.00, Three $5.75, Doz. $20.00 
| This is the deciduous Holly. It is slow growing and ultimately reaches 
| a height of about 10 feet. In winter, after the leaves have been shed, 
it is one of the most showy shrubs because of the persistent brilliant 
red berries which hang on practically all winter. They make a cheerful 
showing outside against the snow and are charming for cutting and 
winter decorations.
