MISS ELLA V. BAINES, THE WOMAN FLORIST, SPRINGFIELD, OHIO. 39 
HARDY DECIDUOUS SHRUBS AND TREES—Concluded 
VULGARIS (Common Lilac)—Bluish-purple flowers. A stand- 
ard variety. Always good. 
VULGARIS ALBA—Common white Lilac, very large trusses of 
cream colored flowers. Extra. 
SPIREA 
(Meadow Sweet.) These are beautiful shrubs of the easiest 
culture, very desirable for planting on the lawn in groups or as 
single specimens. Their blooming extends over a period of 
three months. One-year, 15 cents each; strong two-year-old 
plants, 25 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 be- 
gins to bloom, and_therefore is seldom out of flower. As a pot 
plant or for growing in the open ground, nothing can equal 
it. Perfectly hardy, it is unquestionably one of the really 
meritorious plants that we cannot have too many of. 
PRUNIFOLIA FI. Pl. (Bridal Wreath)—A beautiful shrub from 
Japan, with double pure white flowers like white daisies in 
May. Keeps in flower a long time and justly merits to be 
placed in the front rank among flowering shrubs. 
VAN HOUTTEI—At the flowering season in May and early 
June, the plant is covered with a mass of large white flowers, 
presenting a beautiful appearance. Very hardy; one of the 
finest shrubs in the catalogue. 
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. One-year plants, 15 cents; two-year plants, 25 cents. 
WEIGELA (Diervilla) 
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. 
One-year plants, 15 cents; strong two-year plants, 30c each. 
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 Weigela flower, brilliant crimson. 
A beautiful distinct clear shade. 
ROSEA—An elegant shrub with fine rose colored flowers of 
erect compact growth. Blossoms in June, 
ROSEA NANA VARIEGATA—Of dwarf habit and possessing 
clearly defined silvery variegated leaves. Flowers nearly 
white. It stands the sun well. 
HEDGE PLANTS 
We here name the most suitable plants for hedges 
BERBERIS (Barberry) 
(Thunbergii.) From Japan. A pretty species of dwarf habit. 
Small foliage changing to a beautiful coppery-red in autumn. A 
slower grower than the privets, but needs no trimming and is 
a feast for the eye when full grown. One-year plants, 15 
cents each; $1.25 per dozen; $10.00 per hundred. 
LIGUSTRUM PRIVET 
AMURENSE (Amoor River Privet)—This is a very graceful 
plant, requires little trimming. The leaf is small and round- 
ed, plant branching, has not the stiff or formal effect that the 
California Privet has. Two-year, eighteen to twenty-four 
inches, branched, 10 cents each; 75 cents per dozen, postpaid; 
by express, purchaser to pay expressage, $5.00 per hundred. 
OVALIFOLIUM (California Privet)—This makes when pruned a 
very formal hedge, will grow almost anywhere thriving where 
other plants refuse to grow. Two-year, 18 to 24 inches, 
branched, 10 cents each; 75 cents per dozen, postpaid; by ex- 
press, purchaser to pay expressage, $5.00 per hundred.
