Philadelphus - Hock Orange 
FRENCH MOCKORANGE 
Atlas (Giant Mockorange) Each $2.50, Three $7.00, Doz. $25.00 
This giant-flowered Mockorange, with its pure white blooms as large as 
those of Dogwcods, will be sensational in your garden and we predict 
will replace many of the more common and _ indifferent shrubs. This 
magnificent hybrid came to us a few years ago from France. It has 
been carefully tested and not found wanting. Hardy, of easy culture, 
grows most anywhere, good upright habit, and covered with immense 
blooms which slightly lack being 3 inches in diameter that are mag- 
nificent for cutting. Decidedly a ‘‘must’ for shrubbery borders. 
Belle Etoile (Fragrant Star Mockorange) 
Each $2.50, Three $7.00, Doz. $25.00 
We, as well as others who have seen and smelled the charming flowers 
of this Mockorange, consider this one of the finest and choicest. It is 
an origination of that great Frenchman Lemoine. The star-like flowers 
open in Lily-like fashion, the centers showing a decided light purple 
flush. This extra touch of color, plus its intense and delightful fra- 
grance which can be detected over the entire garden, sets this shrub 
aside as one in a class by itself. Its growth is orderly, nice and 
bushy, and grows about 5 feet tall and 4 feet in diameter. It is one 
of our last importations from France, and a few years ago received 
the Award of Merit from the Royal Horticultural Society of Great 
Britain. Dig up an old, unsightly bush and replace it with this beau- 
tiful Mockorange. 
Enchantment (Tall-Growing Double Mockorange) 
Each $3.00, Three $8.50, Doz. $32.00 
Has erect branches furnished with long, thick panicles of double white 
flowers. The blossoms are set very closely, creating a most striking 
effect. Sweetly fragrant. Does quite well in light shade. Very hardy 
and easily grown. As its name implies, it will enchant you. Ultimate 
height about 6 feet. A handsome shrub. 
Innocence (Alabaster-White Mockorange) 
Each $2.50, Three $7.00, Doz. $25.00 
The long arching branches carry a wealth of large single alabaster- 
white flowers. So heavily loaded with flowers are the slender branches 
as to assume the appearance of sheaves of bloom. They are of such 
purity of whiteness as to make all other Mockoranges seem gray by 
comparison. The fragrance is delightful, more delicate, yet more pene- 
trating than that of Jasmine. Its flowers are so intensely white, one 
constantly marvels a its ethereal effect. A ‘‘must’’ in every garden. 
Ultimate height about 6 feet. 
Virginalis Each $2.00, Three $5.75, Doz. $20.00 
This is perhaps the most popular of the double-flowered Mockoranges 
and one of its habits is to produce a few flowers throughout the sum- 
mer and fall after its normal blooming period. Plants grow rather tall, 
7 to 9 ft., so this variety should always be planted in the background. 
We send flowering plants about 3 to 4 ft. tall. 
Salix—French Pussy Willow 
New (MNeigelas 
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. It 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 planted 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 coior and sparkle like pearls. It is early flowering 
and one of the great French hybridist Lemoine’s latest and best. We 
send plants about 3 to 4 feet tall. 
Bristol Ruby (Spring and Autumn Flowering) 
(Plant Patent No. 492) 
The color of the flowers is 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 hardiness. Bristol Ruby is definitely superior 
to any other red Weigela in every respect and visitors here at the nurs- 
ery are quick to note its better qualities.

BRONZE-LEAVED SUMAC 
Rhus Cotinus Rubrifolius Each $3.50, Three $9.75, Doz. $35.00 
Here we have the rare bronze-leaved and “‘bronze-plumed’’ Smoke 
Tree. The common Smoke Tree is too well known, nothing more need 
be said about it except that it has been a favorite garden shrub for 
hundreds of years. The bronze-leaved form has handsome bronze 
tinted foliage and a bronze colored so-called plume or smoke. It is 
one of the outstanding shrubs in our nursery and has caused a great 
deal of comment. We are sure that this rare shrub will make a fine 
display in your garden. We offer nice bushes about 2 to 3 feet tall. 
SALIX - Wiilow 
French Pussy Willow Each $2.00, Three $5.75, Doz. $20.00 
Not the wild Pussy Willow but a fine cultivated French variety. 
Branches of this variety have been selling at retail during the winter 
months in cities at from $1.00 to $2.00 per dozen. You can grow them 
on your own lawn! Enjoy these dainty silvery pink flowers every winter. 
A beautiful round shrub in summer or use them for fall screens or back- 
grounds. Cut the ends of the branches in January or February. Place 
them indoors in a vase of water. Watch them unfold their large catkins 
of silver-pink, from 1 to 2 inches long. They will repay you many times 
their cost in pleasure. Ultimate height 10 feet. Cut back branches to 
6 inches when planting and each spring after catkins have formed to 
promote long, vigorous new canes. 
Purpurea nana Each 85c, Three $2.25, Doz. $6.50, 100 $45.00 
Dwarf Blue-Leaf Arctic Willow. Discovered north of the Arctic Circle. 
A charming low-growing Willow excellently suited for edgings. Grows 
anywhere in wet or heavy soils where other plants perish. It is able to 
withstand the lowest temperatures encountered in this country, is of 
easy culture. Just the plant for low edagings, around beds or along walks 
in difficult soils or localities. The foliage is a lovely gray-blue-green. 
Can be clipped for formal effects or left natural as desired. Should be 
planted about 8 inches apart. May also be grown as single specimens 
in the rock garden. 
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. 
Japonica coccinea Each $1.50, Three $4.00, Doz. $15.00 
Similar in© growth and habit to the Anthony Waterer 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, 
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- 
inly 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 excel- 
lent for seashore or lakeshore gardens, being very tolerant to salt air 
and wind. The plants we send out will bloom the first year. Ultimate 
height about 8 feet. Can be pruned and kept to 5 or 6 feet if desired.
