HARDY DECIDUOUS SHRUBS-Concluded 



New Philadelphia "Virginal" 



Hydrangea Paniculata Grandiflora 



A great favorite, and there is nothing finer or more showy, 

 whether for planting in large masses in parks or for single plants 

 on the smallest lawns. Blooms profusely from July until frost, 

 in immense white panicles, tinted with pink and then with brown 

 in the fully matured flower. The plant should be cut back each 

 spring fully one-half of the past season's growth, as the flowers 

 are much finer if the plant is treated in this manner. The flowers 

 are much finer and larger if grown in a good, rich soil, but the 

 plant is so hardy and so easily grown that success is almost cer- 

 tain in any kind of soil and in any situation. Strong flowering 

 plants, for immediate effect, two years old, 75 cents. 



Spirea — Meadow Sweet 



These are beautiful shrubs of the easiest culture. Their bloom- 

 ing extends over a period of three months. One-iyear, 25 cents 

 each; strong two-year-old plants, 60 cents each. 



ANTHONY WATERER — This beautiful gem makes a low, com- 

 pact bush and is covered nearly the whole growing season with 

 large umbels of deep crimson flowers which measure nearly a 

 foot across. When scarcely three inches high it begins to bloom, 

 and thereafter is seldom out of flower. As a pot plant or for 

 growing in the open ground, nothing can equal it. 



PRUNI FOLIA FL. PL. (Bridal Wreath)— Plum leaved foliage. 

 Blooms early, with small double white flowers. We have two 

 sizes, 35 cents and 50 cents. 



VAN HOUTTE! (Bridal Wreath)— Without doubt the very 

 finest of all shrubs. With us in May and early in June the plant 

 is completely covered with a mass of large white flowers present- 

 ing a beautiful appearance. Named the "Bridal Wreath'' on 

 account of its long graceful sprays of pure white. 



Snowball — Viburnum 



(Viburnum Opulus Sterilis) 

 (Guelder Rose.) A well known favorite shrub of large size 

 with globular clusters of pure white flowers. The Snowball of 

 our mothers' gardens. Blooms in May. 60 cents. 



Viburnum Plicatum, 



Japanese Snowball 



Handsome, plicated leaves with globular heads of pure white 

 flowers, early in June. No shrub is prettier. 75 cents. 



Philadelphus or Syringa 



"MOCK ORANGE- 

 BOUQUET BLANC — Dwarf growth with long, slender branches 

 densely covered from base to top with sweet-scented double 

 flowers of creamy-white. In fact, the flowers are borne in such 

 great profusion as to totally obscure the plant. Spicy fragrance. 

 35 cents. 



MONT BLANC — The branches of this beautiful variety are cov- 

 ered with white flowers that are deliciously fragrant. A grand 

 species. 25 cents. 



NEW PHILADELPHUS ("Virginal")— One of the 



most beautiful new ever -blooming varieties. 



This is the new Philadelphus which is being 



used so much in hedge planting. It also makes 



wonderful individual specimen plants on the 



lawn. A vigorous, tall grower with very large 



double-crested flowers, with round petals. 



Pure white, sweetly scented; clusters of five 



to seven. Good strong plants, 50 cents each ; 



$5.00 per dozen. 



PHILADELPHUS-AUREUS (Golden Syringa)— Valuable for 

 contrastive grouping and the best golden-leaved shrub ifor edg- 

 ing on account of its dwarf nature. 50 cents each. 



CORONARIUS (Garland Syringa) — Pure white flowers, highly 

 scented. 35 cents. 



GRANDIFLORUS (Large->Flowered Syringa) — Has very showy 



large white flowers, delicate fragrance. 35 cents. 



Snowberry 



(Symphoricarpos Racemosus.) An excellent shrub for 

 massing under trees and in shaded places, as well as in full sun« 

 light. Very ornamental in the Fall; has a small white or pinkish 

 flower, succeeded by showy white berries. 40 cents each. 



Weigel ia — Diervi I la 



They produce in June and July superb large trumpet-shaped 

 flowers that almost hide the plant. They are very desirable for 

 the border or for grouping, and as specimens on the lawn. 50 

 cents. 



CANDIDA — A vigorous, erect grower; flowers pure white and 

 produced in great profusion in June, and the plants continue 

 to bloom through the summer, even until autumn. 



EVA RATHKE — A charming Weigelia flower, brilliant crimson. 

 A beautiful, distinct, clear shade.
