NORWAY MAPLE, “CRIMSON KING”  Schwedteri Nigra 
(U. S. Plant Patent No. 735.) About ten years ago a fascinating purple or maroon- 
leaved Norway Maple tree was sent to America from Europe. It created the same 
sensation over here as it did in Europe. It is perfectly hardy and happy where Maples 
grow and it retains its magnificent leaf color throughout the entire summer. The 
effect is not unlike that of the Copper Beech but in addition, the tips of the branches 
and the young foliage are of a lighter shade and glisten brilliantly in the sun. One 
would think the tree was in bloom. 
Here truly is a rare thing in trees; a superb plant for lawn, small or large, street 
trees or specimen for contrast among other trees. Unfortunately not many big trees 
are available so we decided to offer our customers what is Known as a ‘‘whip.’’ This 
is a two-year grafted single stem tree about 6 to 7 feet tall without side branches. 
When this ‘‘whip”’ is planted in the nursery it immediately starts to grow branches. 
It will do so, for you, in your garden. In two years time you will have a fast grow- 
ing, vigorous young tree, which you may thus enjoy two years sooner.

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. 
Prtentiila Gru ticosa 
Gold Drop Each $2.50, Three $7.00, Doz. $25.00 
A charming small shrub of such compact growth as to resemble a small irregular 
shaped mound about 2 to 214 feet high. It is closely and densely covered with 
small fernlike leaves and studded with intenstly brilliant golden yellow, Buttercup- 
like flowers from early June until October. This delightful small shrub may be 
used in front of the shrub border or in the foreground of any perennial planting. 
It does best in full sun and is hardy in below zero temperatures. The original 
plant we selected from the common Potentilla Fruticosa. It is far superior both 
in flowering qualities, hab’t and general appearance. We know of no shrubs 
which flower so consistently ard remain so cheerfully brilliant throughout the 
entire summer and fall. Spaced 12 inches apart in a single row, it w ll make one 
of the most charming low hedges that can be imagined.
