MISS ELLA V. BAINES, THE WOMAN FLORIST, SPRINGFIELD, OHIO 



Hardy Deciduous Shrubs and Trees 



AZALEA MOLLIS — The most brilliant and showy of all 

 hardy shrubs, exceeding even the Rhododendron, and en- 

 tirely hardy without protection in all situations. The 

 bloom, which varies in color from the intense rosy-crim- 

 son to lemon-yellow, literally oovers the compact, spread- 

 ing plant, forming a huge bouquet, and which remains 

 in perfection for a long time in May and June. Massed 

 they produce an effect that is actually brilliant and daz- 

 zling. These plants ready to bloom. 50 cents; three 

 for $1.25. 



BUXUS (Ornamental Box) — Sempervirens — Useful for edg- 

 ing and bordering walks, etc. A handsome shrub with 

 deep green foliage. This is not as dwarf as the Semper- 

 virens Nana, but we find it so much more vigorous and 

 hardy that we advise planting this and trimming to 

 height required. 5 cents each; 50 cents per dozen, post- 

 paid. By express, purchaser to pay expressage, $3.00 

 per hundred. 



CALYCANTHUS FLORIDUS (Carolina Allspice or Sweet 

 Scented Shrub) — -A most desirable shrub. The wood is 

 fragrant; flowers of a rare chocolate color, having a pe- 

 culiar agreeable odor that is very penetrating. They 

 blossom in June and at intervals afterwards. Fine plants, 

 10 cents; strong twa"year-old plants, 25 cents. 



CYDONIA JAPONIC A (Japan Quince) — Has bright scarlet 

 flowers in great profusion in early spring; one of the 

 best shrubs. Fine plants, 25 cents. 



DEUTZIAS — Their fine habit, luxuriant foliage and profus- 

 ion of bloom render them among the most beautiful of 

 shrubs. They flower the latter part of June. 



DEUTZIA GRACILIS— Dwarf habit. Covers itself with 

 pure white bell-shaped flowers. 15 cents each; strong 

 plants, 25 cents. 



DEUTZIA GRACILIS ROSEA — Same as above but pink 

 flowers. 15 cents each.

 ed with rose. 15 cents; two-year plants, 25 cents.

 flowers. 15 cents; two-year plants, 25 cents.

 double white flowers. 15 cents each; two-year plants,

New Hydrangea "HILLS OF SNOW" — 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 flowers. Be sure and plant this new 

 hardy shrub, it will please you greatly. Young plants, 

 15 cents each; two for 25 cents. Strong two-year-old 

 plants, 40 cents each; three for $1.00. Large specimen 

 plants to bloom at once, 75 cents each. 



HYDRANGEA PANICULATA GRANDIFLORA— A great 

 favorite, and there is nothing finer or more showy, wheth- 

 er 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 suc- 

 cess is almost certain in any kind of soil and in any 

 situation. Young plants, 15 cents, three for 40 cents. 

 Strong flowering plants for immediate effect, two years 

 old, 35 to 50 cents, according to size. 



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 brilliant and striking colors. They 

 bloom freely during August and September, when scarce- 

 ly any other shrub is in bloom. Six varieties: Jean 

 d'Arc, double white; Boule de Feu, double red; Faeoni- 

 florus, double pink; Violet Claire, double violet; Bicolor 

 Hybrida, double variegated; Snowdrift (Totus Albus) 

 single pure white — this is the best of all Altiheas.

 grant. A grand species. 25 cents.

 groups or as single specimens. Their blooming extends over 

 a period of three months. One-year, 15 cents each; strong

ANTHONY WATEREB — This beautiful gem makes a low, 

 compact 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 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 un- 

 questionably one of the really meritorious plants that we 

 cannot have too manv of. 

 PRUNTFOLIA Fl. PI. (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

 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.
