Japanese

Rose-Flowering Cherries

Several years ago we began growing the different varieties of Japanese Flowering Cherries. To our great delight we found that the following varieties proved perfectly hardy in our coldest winter. Thousands travel to Washington, D. C., every spring to see the flowering cherries. You can now have them in your own garden.

We graft our Japanese Cherries and plant them into the open field without protection and this may be the reason that our stock is so exceptionally hardy.

All plants offered are fresh-dug.

We can also supply larger sizes of above varieties.

Ch inese Tree Wisteria

Chinese Wisteria grown in tree-form, one of the most ex¬ quisite plants for the garden, either as specimen in the lawn, border, formal garden or as gateway.

We have a limited stock available and the plants will be set with bloombuds.

6 foot stems, Balled and Burlapped, $10.00 each.

3 foot stems, Balled and Burlapped, $ 5.00 each.

We also can supply regular Wisteria Vines, 2 year No. 1, bare root at 75c each.

Our Wisteria are grafted from flowering wood. These plants can be raised quicker from seed but unfortunately such stock often does not bloom within one's lifetime.

Chinese Flowering Crabapples

"At the other side of the garden is another Crab Apple, spreading its branches above a group of delicately flushed Tulips — that rise from a waving sea of For¬ get-Me-Nots. All my Crab Apple Trees have been at¬ tendant gatherings of Tulips . . . "Louise Beebe Wilder in "Colour in My Garden" . . .

Not only do these graceful plants add a profusion of color to the garden in the spring, but also brighten up the fall picture with brilliantly colored fruit in shades of green, yellow, orange, scarlet, maroon and crimson.

Several years ago we began to see the value of these Exquisite Flowering Trees for North American Gardens and we have built up a collection that, we believe, will prove of great interest to all lovers of fine plant material.

Exquisite Modern Peonies

— FOR SPRING (AND FALL) PLANTING —

"Had I but four square feet of ground at my disposal, I would plant a peony in the center and proceed to wor¬ ship." — From "Paeonias in the Little Garden" — By Mrs. Ed. Harding.

Peonies that are dug in the fall and kept dormant in our Peony Storage over winter can be planted in early spring with splendid results. We have found that many of our customers who are making changes or additions to their garden in the spring like to plant their peonies at the same time. We therefore keep a good assortment ready for spring planting.

The fall planting season for peonies starts September first, and they can be planted until the ground is frozen solid.

Guaranteed to give complete satisfaction and to be

True to Name.

SIZE OF ROOTS: We send out strong divisions with from three to five eyes and adequate Root System, Standard of the American Peony Society, from healthy plants not over three years old, grown on soil that has not been used for Peony Culture before.
