Fn 



Muck Oka.ni;e. 



four or five of these short stems to have large 

 panicles of bloom ; a long-lived healthy 

 plant, blooming in August and September ; 

 from Japan. 



19. Hypericum Moseriatimn (St. John's 

 Wort) — Grows to abovit 3 feet in height, a 

 very desirable hardy shrub, producing yel- 

 low flowers 2 inches across from July to 

 fall ; native of America. 



20. Ilex. Verticillatns (Deciduous Holly) 

 — 5 to 6 feet high. I met with a plot of these 

 shrubs lately in our own woods, and I 

 thought them one of the most beautiful 

 sights I had seen for a long time, the plants 

 were literallv covered with brierht red ber- 



ries, the ground being covered with snow 

 made them look all the brighter ; they last 

 all winter ; flowers small, white in July. 



21. Ligustrum, var. tricolor (Privet) — 

 This variety I would recommend on account 

 of its beautiful variegated foliage, a very 

 pretty sport of the common Privet. 



22. Lonicera (Bush Honeysuckle.) Tur- 

 kestan. L. var. Candida, 8 to 10 feet, white 

 flowers in end of May. 



23. L. var. fragrantissi7na — This is a 

 Chinese variety, greatly admired for its very 

 sweet scented pinkish white flowers which 

 appear early in spring. 



24. L. var. grajidijiora is probably one of 

 the best of all, much larger pink flowers 

 than the type blooms in May. 



25. Poeonia Mouton (Tree Poeony) — 3 to 4 

 4 feet high ; slow growing, but when ma- 

 tured will agreeably surprise the owner by 

 the large rosy pink double flowers it pro- 

 duces in profusion ; requires rich soil. 



26. Pliiladelphus (Mock orange) — South- 

 ern United States. Philadelphus grandi- 

 florus is one of the best, 10 feet.
