native elder. The blossoms appear early in June and 

 continue several weeks. 



Callosa Alba lias white flowers much the shape of the 

 latter, but not quite so large. It blooms later, and 

 retains its beauty a long time. This is a very desirable 

 plant. 



Superha belongs to this same Callosa family. It is 

 dwarfish in growth, with pinkish white flowers that 

 appear in June. 



Bumalda is a vigorous little dwarf from Japan. It 

 often kills to the ground, but does not stop for a trifle 

 like that, but is up and at it again, and in June is 

 clothed with a profusion of pink flowers in flat clusters, 

 and then it keeps at it all summer. It never grows very 

 tall, and is useful for the border and placing in front of 

 the taller ones.

There is probably a greater demand for this than 

 any other, unless it is the Van Houttei. It is a seed- 

 ling of the Bumalda, and is much like it in form and 

 habit and shape of the flowers. While the former are 

 pale pink, these are crimson in the bud and continue 

 so some time after opening. Then they turn to red or 

 deep pink. If the floAvers are removed they will con- 

 tinue to bloom nearly all summer. These, like the 

 parent, often kill down in Avinter, but throw up new 

 shoots and are ready for business in June and on till 

 frosts.
