These are the most splendid and showy of all Flowering Shrubs, and among the most rare. 



The flowers are mostly fragrant, and all are double, unless denoted otherwise. They are 

 perfectly hardy, and will withstand the winters of our most northern States and the Can'adas. 

 They bloom in May, ten to fifteen days before the Chinese Herbaceous varieties. 



F.xtra large plants of five and six years' growth, of Nos. 1 and 2, can be supplied at $;; each ; 

 and also of many other varieties, at $3, and others at $5 and upwards. 



Those maiked thus * are Seedlings originated by \V. R. Prince. 



There is no other extensive Collection of this Class of Plants in the Union ; and those we 

 supply are far larger plants than are usually sold, and of blooming age. Tie y are mostly ou their 

 own roots, and but few are grafted.
