HARDY DECIDUOUS SHRUBS-Continued 



Buxus 



(Ornamental Box.) 

 (Sempervirens) — Useful for edging- and bordering 

 walks, etc. A handsome shrub with deep green foli- 

 age. This is not as dwarf as the Sempervirens 

 Nana, but we find it so much more vigorous and 

 hardy that we advise planting this and trimming 

 to height required. 20 cents each; $1.50 per dozen, 

 postpaid. 



Calycanthus Floridus 



(Carolina Allspice or Sweet Scented Shrub.) 



A most desirable shrub. The wood is fragrant; 

 flowers of a rare chocolate color, having a peculiar 

 agreeable odor that is very penetrating. They 

 blossom in June and at intervals afterwards. Fine 

 plants, 25 cents; strong two-year-old plants, 50 cts. 



Deutzias 



Their fine habit, luxuriant foliage and profusion 



of bloom render them among the most beautiful of 



shrubs. They flower the latter part of June. 



DEITZIA CREXATA (Fl. PI.) — Flowers double 

 white, tinged with rose. 25 cents; two-year 

 plants, 50 cents. 



DEUTZIA GRACILIS — Dwarf habit. Covers itself 

 with pure white bell-shaped flowers. 25 cents 

 each; strong plants, 50 cents.

 ering; double white flowers. 25 cents; two-year

 splendid shrub lights up your garden with glint- 

 ing masses of yellow, very early in the spring be- 

 fore the leaves appear. The bark of the young 

 twigs is bright green. 35 cents each.

 some, broad, dark, green leaves. Fine for indi-

 purposes. Foliage bright yellow with a profusion 

 of berries. Gives a tone of contrast to any shrub- 

 bery planting. Two sizes, J.'5 cents and 75 cents 

 each. 



The King of All Shrubs 



THE NEW HYDRANGEA ARBORESCENS 



GRANDIFLORA ALBA 



Hills of Snow 



The Most Valuable Hardy Shrub Ever Introduced. 

 Plant in the Fall. 



This is the great new hardy shrub that has come 

 to gladden our yards and gardens. We place it first 

 and foremost of all shrubs. It makes a perfectly 

 round, symmetrical bush that is covered from June 

 to August with handsome, large, pure white flow- 

 ers. Be sure and plant this new hardy shrub — it 

 will please you greatly. Young plants, 25 cents; 

 strong two-year plants, 50 cents. 



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 certain in any kind of soil 

 and in any situation. Young plants, 30 cents. Strong 

 flowering plants, for immediate effect, two years 

 old, 60 cents. 



Hibiscus Syriacus 



(Althea or Rose of Sharon) 



Also known as the Hollyhock shrub, belongs to 

 the Mallow family. These are the most beautiful 

 shrubs we have in our collection. The flowers are 

 of large size, very double and full of various bril- 

 liant and striking colors. They bloom freely during 

 August and September when scarcely any other 

 shrub is in bloom. We offer nine of the very choic- 

 est varieties as follows:
