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



HARDY DECIDUOUS SHRUBS-Concluded 



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 WATERBR — 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 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 beauti- 

 ful appearance. Named the "Bridal Wreath" on 

 account of its long graceful sprays of pure white. 



Rhus Cotinus (Purple Fringe or Smoke Tree) 



A much admired shrub for its curious fringe or 

 hair-like flowers that cover the entire plant, giving 

 it the appearance of being enveloped in smoke. 50c. 



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 con- 

 trast beautifully when planted with Grandiflora, bloom- 

 ing at the same time. 25 cents.

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

 grance. 20 cents; two-year plants, 50 cents.

 riety are covered ■with 'white flowers that are de- 

 liriously fragrant. A grand species. 25 cents. 



BOUQUET BLAXC — Dwarf growth with long, slen- 

 der branches densely covered from base to top with 

 sweet-scented double flowers of creamy-white. In 

 fact, flowers are borne in such great profusion as 

 to totally obscure the plant. Spicy fragrance. 25c. 



NOTE — The last two named Philadelphus are away 

 ahead of the old varieties. Being dwarf, they are 

 superb for hedge planting. 



Weigelia — 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, 35 cents; strong two-year 

 plants, 60 cents.

 and produced in great profusion in June, and the plants 

 continue to bloom through the summer, even until 

 autumn.

 crimson. A beautiful distinct clear shade.
