Hardy Deciduous Shrubs Continued 



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, 25 cents. Strong 

 flowering plants, for immediate effect, two 

 years old, 50 cents. 



Hibiscus Syriacus 



(Althea or Rose of Sharon) 



Also known as the Hollyhock shrub, be- 

 longs to the Mallow family. These are the 

 most beautiful shrubs we have in our col- 

 lection. The flowers are of large size, very 

 double and full of various brilliant and striking 

 colors. They bloom freely during August and Sep- 

 tember, when scarcely any other shrub is in bloom. 

 "We offer nine of the very choicest varieties as 

 follows: 

 ANEMONEFLORA — Largest of all Althea bloom; 



double wine-red. 

 BOULE DE FETJ, or Ball of Fire — Double red. 

 COELESTE — Single sky-blue; extremely showy. 

 JEANNE d'ARC — Double snow-white. 

 MONSTROSA — Semi-double white; red center. 

 PAEOXIFLORUS — Double pink. 

 RUBUS — Single red; a striking variety. 

 "VIOLET CLARE — Double violet; very popular. 

 SNOWDRIFT (Totus Albus) — Single pure white. 

 Fine plants, 2© cents each, the nine for $1.50. In 



two-year plants, 4© cents each, the nine for $3.00. 



Jasmine Primulinum 



(New.) This is a grand new hardy Jasmine of 

 bushy growth; star-shaped yellow flowers. Try 

 this plant. From pots, ready now, 20 cents. 



Lilac Madame Casiniir Ferier. 



(See description page 38.) 



'Bridal Wreath" Spirea. 



Kerria Japonica (Corchorus) 



A slender, green-branched shrub with globular, 

 yellow flowers from July to October. Fine plants, 

 25 cents. 



Lonicera Grandiflora 



(Upright or Bush Honeysuckle) 



A beautiful shrub, producing large, bright red 

 flowers striped 'with white; blooms in June. 25 



cents. 



Lonicera Tartarica 



(Tartarian Honeysuckle) 



This Honeysuckle also grows in a bush form, 

 bearing beautiful pink flowers which contrast beau- 

 tifully when planted 'with Grandiflora, blooming 

 at the same time. 25 cents; the two Bush Honey- 

 suckles for 40 cents. 



Spirea (Meadow Sweet) 



These are beautiful shrubs of the easiest culture. 

 Their blooming extends over a period of three 

 months. One-year, 25 cents each; strong two-year- 

 old plants, 50 cents each. 



ANTHONY WATERER — 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 be- 

 gins to bloom, and thereafter is seldom out of 

 flower. As a pot plant or for growing in the open 

 ground, nothing can equal it. 



VAN HOUTTEI (Bridal Wreath) — Without doubt 

 the very finest of all shrubs. With us in May 

 and early June the plant is completely covered 

 "with a mass of large white flowers presenting 

 a beautiful appearance. Named the "Bridal 

 "Wreath" on account of its long graceful sprays 

 of pure white. 



Syringa or Philadelphus 



(Mock Orange) 



These are invaluable shrubs, blooming in June. 



CORONARIUS (Garland Syringa) — Pure white flow- 

 ers, highly scented. 20c; two-year plants, 35c. 



GRANDIFLORUS (Large-Flowered Syringa) — Has 



very showy large white flowers, delicate fra- 

 grance. 2© cents. 



BOQ.UET BLANC — Dwarf growth with long, slen- 

 der 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. 25 cents. 



MONT BLANC — The branches of this beautiful vari- 

 ety are covered with white flowers that are de- 

 liciously fragrant. A grand species. 25 cents. 



NOTE — The last two named Philadelphus are away 

 ahead of the old varieties. Being dwarf, they are 

 superb for hedge planting.
