CrAB-APPLE. Japanese Flowering (Pyrus floribunda [single] and 
Pyrus floribunda, var. Parkmanii [double variety]). 10 ft. A bush or 
small tree with drooping branches, bearing sharply-toothed leaves and 
handsome red flower buds that are flesh colored or rosy pink when 
opened. Thrives best in an open airy situation apart from other trees. 
Rather subject to caterpillars during the leafing and flowering season. 
Give any good soil. Propagate by seeds or grafting on wild Crab, Pear 
or the Hawthorn. 
HoneEysuckLe. Bush, or Upright (Lonicera jfragrantissima). 3-8 ft. 
A fragrant bush form of Honeysuckle, bearing white, also pink flowers 
in numerous clusters, followed by brilliant scarlet berries; blooms on 
wood of previous year’s growth, therefore prune just after flowering. 
All young shoots should be cut back to induce a bushy growth. Propa- 
gated by layering or cuttings; give any good soil. May and June. 
HoNEYSUCKLE. Tartarian (Lonicera Tartarica). 3-6 ft. Shrub of 
slender elegant growth, and when properly trimmed makes an open 
bush; flowers abundant and beautiful, of pale pink turning to yellow. 
Fruit ripens in August and becomes a bright red berry that gives color 
to the bush until frost. 
Lizac (Syringa, hybrid budded varieties, Virginite and Clair Cochet). 
Both handsome pink varieties, that, like all budded Lilacs, are apt to 
revert to the old stock upon which they are budded. It forms flower 
buds for the next season during the summer, so all seed-vessels must be 
removed promptly after flowering. For culture, see Lilac, White Per., 
May. 
PEacH. Japanese (Prunus Persica, var. rosea plena). 4-6 ft. A 
new form of this shrub much prized in Japan. It makes a full bushy 
growth, bears narrow pointed leaves like the common Peach and quan- 
tities of small handsome rosette flowers both in pink and deep red. 
Prune the new growth in the summer, and head in the old so as to har- 
den the wood before winter. Give a rich soil, but no manure near the 
roots. A heavy mulch of wood ashes tends to harden the wood so that it 
withstands our severe winters; entirely hardy with me. Very choice 
indeed. 
PINXTER FLOWER (Rhododendron nudiflora). 2 ft. Bears rosy- 
purple or lilac flowers resembling the Azalea, before the leaves appear. 
Requires rich moist soil and full sun. It is propagated by running root 
stocks, and may be increased by cutting close to the ground to throw the 
vitality into new growths, which may be reset in spring while dormant.
