Sty pericums 
Attractive and charming low growing, summer-flowering shrubs. 
| Their brilliant flowers are beautifully Jormed and grow on slender 
branches jrom early summer untii stopped by frost. Excellent sub- \ 
jects for the flower border or in the foreground of taller shrubs, as “ 
| well as foreground covering. 
| Calycinum Each $1.25, Three $3.50, Doz. $12.00, 100 $85.00 
This is a most valuable variety because it can also be used as 
a ground cover for both sunny and semi-shady places. The 
underground runners are produced so freely as to completely 2 
| cover the ground; at the top the golden yellow flowers shine 
| like jewels. Its height is about 12 to 18 inches. We recom- § 
mend this as one of the best and hardiest. 
| Hidcote Each $1.50, Three $4.00, Doz. $15.00 | 
From the famous Hidcote estate in England we obtained this 
}! fine variety a few years ago. It grows into a twiggy shrub 
| about 18 inches tall and about the same diameter. Throughout 
the summer it is covered with bright yellow cup-like flowers ; ' a 
about 2 inches in diameter. In cold winters it freezes back to the ground but ¥ ~ 
! this does not matter because it springs up from the base producing each sum- 
f mer its masses of blooms. A fine shrub for the foreground in the border in 
i! cold climates. In the temperate parts of the country it will reach a height of 
| about 3 to 4 ft. Flowers are fragrant and appear late June continuing until 
1 m d-October. 
Ht ypericum, Sungold Patent No. 568) 
' 
A hardy, shapely, dwarf shrub which grows into an almost completely oval 
: shape of 214 to 3 feet in diameter, and about 18 to 24 inches in height, 
densely covered with foliage that is handscme throughout the summer. It bears 
| its cymes of golden flowers at the end of every shoot of the summer’s new 
growth. It flowers more freely and much longer than any of the Hypericum 
Patulum now in general us. Its flowers are bigger and produced in immense 
quantities, transforming the lovely plant into a small mound of gold when in 
H full bloom. 
\ Of particular interest and value is its exceptional hardiness. In our nursery 
tests over five years it has proven its ability to withstand cold weather as well 
as outgrow and outbloom any Hypericum we have ever seen. The average size 
of bloom is from 21% to 3 inches in diameter. 
Each $2.50, Three $7.00, Doz. $25.00

Soulange’s Magnolia, sometimes called the Saucer Magnolia for no rea- 
son at all, is the rather rare Pink Magnolia of city gardens and parks. 
It makes a small tree with gorgeous shining foliage and in early spring 
produces its enormous, pinkish white flowers, more or less purplish out- 
side and slightly fragrant. This Magnolia is the showiest of the family 
for planting in northern gardens, and when in bloom, even one plant will 
dominate the garden—yes, the neighborhood, if it is a sizeable speci- 
men. A whole street in Rochester, lined with this variety, is a mecca 
for all enthusiasts every spring.
