HARDY DECIDUOUS SHRUBS 
Whether planted individually or collectively Shrubs are an important feature in the adornment of any yard. The rich green of the 
summer foliage plays a greater part in landscape effect than is often realized. Would advise planting liberally of Shrubs. 
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 col- 
ection. The flowers are of large size, very double and full of various brilliant and striking colors. They bloom freely during August 
and September, when scarcely any other shrub is in bloom. We offer nine of the very choicest varieties as follows: 
ANEMONEFLORA—Largest of all Althea bloom; doube wine- MONST ROSA—Semi-double white, red center 
ted. PAEONIFLORUS—Double pink. 
BOULE DE FEU, or Ball of Fire—Double red. RUBUS—Single red; a striking variety. 
COELESTE—Single sky-blue; extremely showy. SNOWDRIFT (Totus Albus)—Single pure white. 
JEANNE d’ARC—Double snow-white. VIOLET CLARE—Double violet; very popular. 
. Fine plants, 50 cents each; $5.00 per dozen. 
Buxus 
(Ornamental Box.) 
(Sempervirens eeu ec for edging and bordering walks, ete. 
A handsome shrub with deep green foliage. This is not as dwarf 
as the Sempervirens Nana, but we find it so much more Magers 
and hardy that we advise planting this and trimming to height 
required. Fine for individual plants can be trimmed into any 
shape desired. 20 cents each; $2.00 per dozen; $15.00 per 
hundred, by express at your expense, 
Calycanthus Floridus 
(Carolina Allspice or Sweet Scented Shrub.) 
A most desirable shrub. The wood is fragrant; flowers of 2 
tare chocolate color, having a peculiar agreeable odor that is very 
penetrating. They blossom in June and at intervals afterwards.

It was a matter of some thought before this highly desirable 
plant was finally christened with the common English name by 
which it goes. Several years ago there were imported from Eu- 
rope some plant novelties and this one was among them. We
