DWYER'S GUIDE. 103 



His, as dwarf and free-flowering, but of more uprigtit growtti and said to 

 be even finer for forcing. 



Deutzia (Pride of Rochester). — A clioice new sort tliat excels in vigor, 

 in size of flowers, length of panicles and freedom of bloom. The flowers 

 are double, white, tinged outside with pink, and open a week earlier than 

 those of other sorts. 



Deutzia Scabra (Roughed-Leaved Deutzia). — Very vigorous; flowers 

 white, single, bell-shaped, in small bunches. One of the tallest-growing 

 sorts. 



Deutzia Gracilis (Dwarf Deutzia). — The beauty of the family and one 

 of the best shrubs in our entire list. l,t forms a low, round bush, covered 

 with small white flowers; valuable for forcing. 



Weigela Candida. — A new, valuable sort that bears large white flow- 

 ers profusely in June and continues blooming sparingly until Fall. 



Weigela Van Houttli. — Deep crimson flowers, covering the plant com- 

 pletely. 



Weigela Nana Varlegata (Dwarf Variegated Weigela). — Dwarf, with 

 clearly defined, variegation of green, yellow and pink in its leaves; flow- 

 ers delicate rose and pink. Effective and useful. One of the most beau- 

 tiful variegated siiiubs in cultivation. 



Weigela Rosea. — Bears beautiful rose-colored flowers thickly in 

 June. 



Weigela Stelzneri. — Dark red flowers born thickly along the branch- 

 es. 



Hydrangea. — There are several varieties of Hydrangea, but we consid- 

 er the Hydrangea Paniculata Grandiflora the most reliable for out-door cul- 

 ture; it is perfectly hardy and can be grown successfully in the coldest 

 locations; ii bears a profusion of white flowers which change to pink in 

 Autumn; it can be used advantageously for many purposes as single speci- 

 jnens or for grouping; it is also a very desirable hedge plant. We think 

 one of the most enjoyable sights we viewed the past season was a large 

 hedge of Hydrangea P. G. It requires severe pruning in Spring, it can 

 be cut back to the ground if necessary and will bear a profusion of flow- 

 ers the sane season. The Hydrangea makes a fine showing planted in 

 beds in lots of six and upwards; set the plants four feet apart. 



Prunus, Japonica Flore, albo pleno (Double White Almond). — Pro- 

 duces beautiful double white flowers in May. 



Prunus, Japonica Rubro pleno (Double Pink Almond). — A beautiful 

 small shrub, bearing in the Spring oefore the leaves appear, an abund- 

 ance of small, double, rose-like flowers, closely set on twig. 



Lonlcera (Marowl). — A vigorous, broad spreading bush, bearing nu- 

 merous yellow flowers, followed by crimson fruit, which remains on the 

 plant for a long time, giving it a very choice effect. 



Lonlcera (Fragrantissima). — Blooms very early in the Spring, some- 

 times before the snow disappears. Very valuable for early bloom. 



Berberis ThunbergI (Thunberg's Barberry). — A dwarf spreading spec- 

 ies, with small white flowers in May, followed with an abundance of deep 

 scarlet berries, which color they maintain all Winter. The foliage in the 

 Summer is of a beautiful shade of green, changing to a beautiful reddish 

 yellow in Autumn. 



Berberis, Purpurea (Purple Leaved Barberry). — A very desirable 

 plant for the lawn. Foliage of violet purple color, very effective when 

 contrasted with the lighter foliage of other plants.
