THE GARDEN MAGAZINE

Requests for plants are constantly made to the Arboretum 

 by persons who see or hear of them here and are unable to find 

 them in any American commercial nursery. The Arboretum is unable 

 to meet such demands which come from all parts of the country in 

 increasing numbers, and Messrs. Farquhar at my suggestion have 

 propagated and now offer for sale some of the most desirable of 

 these Arboretum novelties, including a large number of the new 

 trees and shrubs introduced by the Arboretum from China. Des- 

 criptions of many of the plants offered in this catalogue, and 

 of other new and interesting plants appear, as they flower here, 

 in the Bulletins of Popular Information issued by the Arboretum.

Ideal Plants for 



Your Underglass Garden 



Do you recall the graceful, feathery, blooming pot plants, mostly 

 white, sold around Easter by your florist? Astilbes, as they are called, 

 make ideal pot plants, because they combine beauty and ease of culture 

 in a high degree. You can easily grow them, in the house, if you plant 

 our large (now dormant) clumps in pots NOIV! 



New Astilbe Hybrids ("spTetr) 



Far surpass the kinds commonly sold in size of individual spikes and brilliancy of 

 colors. The following new Arendsi Hybrids, shown growing in our nursery below, bear 

 lovely spikes, about 3 feet tall. 



CERES— light rose. JUNO— -rosy violet. ROSE PEARL— white with silvery sheen. 

 SILVER WHITE— distinctly beautiful. VENUS— deep rose. VESTA— light rose. 



PRICE, 35c. each; $3.00 for 10 



Transplanted to the hardy border next Spring, they will live and bloom for years.
