Make Home the Wonderland of Beauty
TO THE PUBLIC:
Beauty is instinctive to man. What joy of a Spring morning, to watch the rosy
dawn spread along the horizon; while the birds in the trees and nearby woodlands
burst forth into melody and song; thus ushering in the day with a vast anthem of
praise. The stars pale and fade from sight. The blue sky arches overhead, as the
morning light paints the landscape in softened hues, and nowhere is the scene so
beautiful as viewed from our own door. That is if we have made home the wonder-
land of beauty that it should be. Each day brings an ever changing panoroma of
delight. The bursting buds, the soft green and grays of the new foliage; later taking
on the more somber tones of Summer, with opening flowers and new wonders un-
folding from day to day; then later the ripe fruit, ready to the pickers hand, the gold
and purple of the late flowers, the red and yellow leaves of Autumn and the hazy
skies of Indian Summer. Then the early’ dash of Winter that brings the Evergreens
into full prominence. They smile at the swirling snow and cold and give a comfort-
ing touch of color to the Winter landscape.
Thanking our many friends and the public for their generous patronage in the
past; and wishing all a happy and prosperous year we are.
Yours very truly, KOETHE BROS.

Hardy Flowering Shrubs
A good collection of Flowering Shrubs is not only an unfailing source of pleasure
but is absolutely indispensable to the well arranged lawn. Nature plants shrubs
with lavish hand along the borders of the woodland. The effect is always restful
and beautiful. The attractive home is the one neatly planted with Trees, Shrubs and
flowers. Shrubs planted along the borders, massed into the corners, against the
porches and sharp angles of the house will greatly enhance the artistic value of any
home. Shrub plantings are the harmonizing feature which link the trees, buildings and
lawn into one harmonious whole and give that finishing touch of hominess so greatly
desired.
All Shrubs, except as noted, 1 to lYz ft. plants, 30c each, postpaid; 11/2 to 2 ft., post-
paid, 50c each; 2 to 3 ft., not prepaid, 75c each. Prices on extra-large Shrubs
quoted on application.
SHRUB COLLECTION
S. Arguta. Snow Garland. Of medium
height; literally covered in May with
small, snow-white flowers, w'hile the
fine, delicate foliage and slender bran-
ches give it an air of gracefulness
hardly equaled by any other shrub.
S. sorbifolia. Strong, vigorous grower;
pretty both in flower and out, the
glossy, finely cut leaves giving a pleas-
ing foliage effect. The flowers are
creamy white, appearing in large pan-
icles in July.
Spireae. Froebelli. Similar to Anthony
Waterer in many respects, but taller.
Dense heads of crimson flowers. The
new foliage in Spring has a pretty and
distinctive shade of red giving the
shrub the appearance of being covered
with flowers.
Mock Orange Virginalis. A wonderful,
new variety. Of medium height; com-
pact grower. Large, very fragrant
flowers; continuing in bloom for a long
time. Very desirable. Price: 12 to 18
inch, 75c each.

4
THE NORTHWQOD NURSERIES, COON VALLEY, WISCONSIN
HARDY FLOWERING SHRUBS, Continued.
Spireae, Anthony Waterer. An excellent
low growing shrub with large corymbs
of bright, red flowers almost through-
out the season. One of our very best
display shrubs. Fine for specimens or
low hedges. Height 18 to 24 inches
when full grown. Should be largely
planted.
S. callosa alba. A splendid companion to
the Spirea, Anthony Waterer. Of
dwarf, dense growth, with white flow-
ers. In bloom all summer.
S. Van Houttei. One of the most beauti-
ful of the flowering shrubs; literally
covered with pure white flowers in the
spring. For specimen shrubs on the
lawn, for massing at the base of the
house, or forming a beautiful flowering
hedge, no shrub is superior.
S. Bumalda. Similar to Anthony Water-
er in growth and habit but with light
pink flowers.
S., Golden. A pretty variety with white
flowers and attractive, golden tinted
foliage.
S. Marguarita. Tall loose growing shrub
with large clusters of rose colored
flow'ers.

Cornu s
Spireae, Anthony Waterer
rich green foliage almost hidden by
large, scarlet flowers in May.
Mock Oriange. (Philadelphus). Flowers
white, resembling orange blossoms and
not a bad substitute for that noble
flower. One of our best shrubs.
Shrubby Cinquefoil. This beautiful, hardy
shrub, with fine cleft foliage; deserves
to be largely planted. The bright, gold-
en, yellow flowers, sparkle like stars
among the dark foliage. In bloom all
Summer. Plant wherever you wish to
add brightness to your plantings.
Cornus (Dog Woods.) A very desirable
class of shrubs that deserve to be large-
ly planted. Valuable for producing con-
trast and beautiful effects in winter.

ed, Blue Barked, White Flowered.
Alpine Currant. An attractive shrub of
graceful habit with dense currant like
foliage.
FALL PLANTING
Plant Peonies, Iris, Tulips, Narcissus,
etc., in Fall. In our latitude Shrubs and
Evergreens should be planted in Spring
as Fall planting often proves a total
failure.
Calycanthus (Sweet Shrub). Large, choc-
olate-colored flowers, delicately per-
fumed. The wood and bark of this
shrub have the same agreeable odor as
the flowers.
THE NORTHWQOD NURSERIES, COON VALLEY, WISCONSIN
Hydrangea, P. G.
HARDY FLOWERING SHRUBS, Cone.
Polish Privet. This Privet fills a long-
felt want in Northern landscape work.
Their rich, glossy foliage blends well
with other shrubs. Their great hardi-
ness and graceful, rapid growth make
them valuable material for deciduous
hedges. Flowers white.
High Bush Cranberry. Resembles the
common Snowball in foliage and habit
of growth, but the flowers appear in
large, flat cyhies instead of ball-shaped
heads, and are followed by clusters of
large red berries, remaining on the
plant all winter.
Snowball. The old favorite.
Lilac. We have three colors: Purple,
white and rose.
Russian Olive. Large shrub or small tree
with narrow silvery white leaves and
sweet-scented yellow flowers. Invalu-
able for forming backgrounds in shrub-
group plantings.
Caragana (Siberian Pea). Tall shrub
with fine, feathery foliage and yellow
flowers in May. Fine for mixed plant-
ings.

mens on the lawn. Of rapid growth,

shrub plantings.

Brings a wonderous wealth of white
flowers in June, followed by black
fruits. Ornamental at all times.
Barberry, Thunberg’s. A fine shrub for
massing, also splendid for single speci-
mens. The green foliage turns to a
brilliant scarlet in autumn, while the
pretty red berries, which adhere to the
bush all winter, present a pleasing ap-
pearance against the snow. One of the
finest shrubs for using as an untrim-
med hedge.
Bush Honeysuckle
6
THE NORTHWOQD NURSERIES, COON VALLEY, WISCONSIN
HARDY FLOWERING SHRUBS, Continued.
Barberry, Thunberg’s
Golden Elder. A beautiful shrub with
golden yellow foliage. Fine for single
specimens or affords a pleasing variety
when massed with other shrubs.
Hydrangea paniculata grandiflora. One
of the most desirable of the hardy
shrubs, as it bears its heavy trusses of
white flowers at a time when most
other shrubs are out of bloom.
Bush Honeysuckle. Valuable, fast grow-
ing shrubs. Beautiful at all seasons of
the year. Hidden in masses of flowers
when they bloom and decked in gem-
like berries for a great part of the
summer.
Tartarian Red, Tartarian White, Morrowi
Pink, Grandiflora Rose.
Special — Four Hardy Decorative Shrubs of Exceptional Merit.
Pink Flowering Almond. Own rooted
(not budded). This old-time favorite
with its wealth of double, pink flowers,
strung along the stems like so many
gems, should find a place on every
lawn. Their wealth of blossoms com-
ing to delight us at a time when there
are few other shrubs in bloom. Do
not compare our own rooted plants
with budded or grafted ones.
Wax Myrtle. A graceful, upright grow-
ing shrub; with thick, glossy, almost
evergreen leaves; that adhere to the
branches far into the Winter. The
leaves when crushed emit a delightful,
spicy fragrance. The stems are thick-
ly studded with gray, aromatic, wax
covered berries.
Sweet Fern. A highly ornamental, round
headed shrub that throws up a mass
of brown barked stems; thickly set
with sweet scented, long, finely dis-
sected foliage, giving it a fern-like ap-
pearance and making it one of the fin-
est specimen plants for the lawn.
Pearl Bush (Exochorda). A medium
sized shrub with tea green foliage.
Coming into flower when most shrubs
are out of bloom. The white flowers
appear like pearls set among the dark-
er foliage.
Cornus Variagata. Of symmetrical
growth, and probably best adapted to
specimen planting. Its distinctive feat-
ure being its elegantly variegated,
green and white foliage. A desirable
addition to the list of Northern shrubs.
Price of either of the above shrubs, 12
to 18 inches, $1.00 each, postpaid.
SAY IT WITH FLOWERS
Is dismal the day_ and dreary the sky?
Has the bright smile been replaced with a sigh?
Don’t say it in anger. Say it with flowers,
And garland with blossoms the fast fleeting hours.
Say it with flowers ; it wont be in vain.
Sunshine has always yet followed the rain.
Hand to the living those pure gems of joy.
Makers of gladness that do not annoy;
Bringing a smile of the keenest delight,
Making eyes sparkle like stars in the night.
Say to the living, ‘‘What treasures are ours’".
Say it by giving, but say it with flowers.
Rubies and diamonds and silver and gold.
Tell their frail story — their message is cold.
Hand out the floral gems, thrilling with life.
Give some to mother and daughter and wife.
They have a language that speaks to the soul — ■
Meekness and purity, every Avhit whole.
Watch how their magic will soothe away pain.
Say it with flowers, let harmony reign.
Send the glad message that life never dies.
To life more abundant the souls of men rise.
God paints the flowers that grow on the plain.
Giving them sunshine and shadow and rain.
If He so cares for the flowers of thei field,
God from destruction His likeness will shield.
Oh send the message; dispell the dark hours.
Say it in mercy, but say it with flowers.

Field of Peonies
Peonies
When the gentle winds of spring waken the wild flowers in the woodland and
the Robins and Bluebirds are back in their old haunts; the stately Peonies begin to
stir beneath the mold. They never disappoint and like the Robins are sure to greet
you in the Spring.
Peonies are unquestionably some of the best hardy bedding and border plants.
Increasing in size and beauty as the years go by, rivaling the rose in beauty and
perfection of bloom, they should find a place on every’ lavm. Their culture is" very
simple. The soil should be rich and the roots not planted too deeply; the crown 2
inches beneath the surface is sufficient. But the soil must be right. They will never
do their best on sandy soils without a liberal mixture of clay.

Gruss An Teplitz. Always in bloom. One
of the richest colored Roses in culti-
vation. Opening dark red, quickly
changing to rich, velvety crimson. If
you are not acquainted with Gruss an
Teplitz Rose, you have missed one of
the rare joys of the floral world. To
see them in bloom is to become their
friend; a lasting friendship that deep-
ens with the years. With joyous antic-
ipation we watch the first buds unfold
in June. With sad regret we see them
swept by November’s drifting snow
and bitter cold still laden vith bud and
blossom.

tice to the beauty of this rose when in
full flower. They open in such masses

Foundation Planting
Hark to the music of the Pines,
Their needles play when the North wind blows.
Through the dreary night, when no star shines;
Soft music, gently comes and goes.
Amidst the falling snow and sleet.
The Evergreens play carols sweet.
They give protection, warmth and cheer;
Till the morning breaks serene and clear.
EVERGREENS
No home is complete without a liberal planting of Evergreens. This is especially
true of farm homes and suburban residences where planting space is ample. As
specimens on the lawn nothing can take the place of Evergreens, they brighten the
winter landscape and add comfort and cheer when the cold storms of winter play
carols among their branches. For grouping arrange the different varieties so as to
produce pleasing contrasts of permanent color.
Norway Spruce. The best all-around
evergreen. The ideal tree for wind-
breaks. Its close compact growth forms
an almost impenetrable barrier to the
frigid storms of winter. Norway Spruce
deserves to be largely planted on all
farms around orchards, barn and cattle-
yards, poultry-houses and grounds, and
wherever protection from cold and
storms is needed. At the same time,
Norway Spruce is one of our choicest
evergreens for ornamental planting.
Price, 12 to 18 inch trees, $1.00 each,
postpaid.
Black Hills Spruce. Of bushy compact
growth. Very symmetrical in outline.
Foliage varies from rich green to blue
tints. 18-24 in., $1.50 each.
Concolor Fir. Without doubt the most
beautiful of all evergreens. A native of
the Rocky Mountains. Foliage long,
soft and graceful, of a silvery green
color. Fine for planting as individual
specimens on the lawn where it will be
a never-ending source of pleasure to
watch them grow in beauty from year
to year. Concolor Fir is very useful in
group-planting, its light silvery color
blending harmoniously with the darker-
toned evergreens. Rapid in growth and
should be in every collection. 12 to 18
inches, $2.50 each.
White Spruce. Beautiful in form and
color. Very compact. Of dense, regu-
lar habit. Grows very broad and tall in
the course of time. 12-18 inches, $1.50
each.

DECIDUOUS TREES
The following trees are especially suit-
able for planting in groups or with ever-
greens. Valuable for producing beautiful
bark contrasts in winter and relieving the
more somber tone of the Evergreen plant-
ings.

slender branches and smooth white bark
blend well with the darker toned trees

ings. For sizes and prices see next

European Larch
HOME THE WONDERLAND OF
BEAUTY, around which the sweetest
memories will ever cling; each sentinel
tree endowed with its own charm and in-
dividuality. The stately Elm, the silvery
Birch, the Weeping Willow, the graceful
Maple, or gnarled Apple Tree, defying
time and the elements, giving grateful
shade when the hot sunbeams of noonday
scorch the earth, or breasting the fierce
thunder storm; faithful friends and loyal
witnesses of our joys and sorrows. Among
the trees are voices that speak to our bet-
ter natures; ever telling of the beautiful
and sublime; and although their trunks
to appearance are hoary and old; their
summits towering to the arches of the
sky, hold in their locked buds the undy-
ing promise of perpetual y'outh and the
glad assurance that life is eternal, and
though their branches rock and sway in
the muttering Winter storm, their song
is ever of the softened sky, the swelling-
buds and the joyful twitter of the return-
ing birds. Trees planted around the farm
and city home add beauty, comfort and
value to the property.
