DWYER'S GUIDE. 



Caryopteris Mastacanthus (Blue Spirea.) — A neat, compact, new sort, 

 with large fragrant blue flower-cluster that keep crowding up plentifully 

 from the axils of the leaves, from mid-summer until frost. If killed to the 

 ground by frosts the young shoots spring up freely and flower the first 

 season. 



Spirea Anthony Waterer. — A fine new dwarf spirea, witli large, 

 crimson flower corymbs, produced quite abundantly. One of our finest 

 shrubs. 



Spirea Callosa. (Fortune's Pink Spirea.) — Bears pink flowers in large, 

 flat clusters nearly all Summer. 



Viburnum Plicatum. (Ja- 

 pan Snow Ball). — A beautiful 

 flowering shrub; the flower clus- 

 ters, which are produced all over 

 the bush, are spherical in form 

 and of the purest white, with 

 beautiful crimped, dark green 

 foliage. There are many other 

 varieties of Snow Ball, but all 

 are susceptible to the attacks o£ 

 plant vermim, which curl and 

 twist their wood into abnormal 

 shapes, making them undesir- 

 able for planting. (Viburnum 

 Plicatum) is free from the rav- 

 ages of this insect and we 

 recommend it with confidence. 



Forsythia, Suspensa (Weep- 

 ing Golden Bell). — An almost 

 evergreen shrub of sprawling ha- 

 bit, covered in Spring before the 

 leaves appear with handsome 

 yellow flowers. Very conspicu-

 blooming flowering shrubs. 



Coryius Atropurpurea (Purple Leaved Filbert. — A very conspicuous 

 shrub, with large, dark purple leaves; very distinct, 



Eleagnus Longipes (Japan Oleaster). — Beautiful silvery foliage, laden 

 with fruit; the bush is highly ornamental and the fact that the leaves 

 remain fresh till late Autumn gives it additional value. 



Halesia Tetraptera (Silver Bell). — A beautiful large shrub, with pret- 

 ty white bell-shaped flowers in May; it is distinguished by its four winged 

 fruit which is from one to two inches long. 



Exochorda Grandiflora (Pearl Bush). — A fine shrub, producing large, 

 white flowers in May; one of the finest shrubs of its season. 



Deutzia Crenata. — The beautiful white single-flowered species that 

 blooms so lavishly in early June. Preferred by many to the double sorts, 

 valuable for backgrounds, specimens or grouping. 



Deutzia Candidissima. — A new and handsome species, with very large 

 double flowers so pure white and perfect that they are frequently used 

 in "floral pieces.
