PLANTS. 
HARDY FLOWERING SHRUBS. 
Shrub orders must reach us not later than April 15, as the plants will not 
usually remain dormant after that date and they can not be successfully handled, 
except in a dormant condition. 
HYDRANGEA, PANICULATA GRANDIFLORA. 
(THE HARDY HYDRANGEA.) 
One of the finest hardy shrubs ever introduced, and in size and magnificence of 
bloom not excelled by any shrub in cultivation. The bush in time attains a large size, 
growing in beauty year by year. It is in the full glory of bloom from August 
until the middle or last of October, when every branch is crowned with an immense 
panicle of fleecy, pure white flowers, changing later to a pinkish hue, sometimes a 
foot long and nearly as broad at the base, presenting an aspect of majestic grandeur 
that absolutely defies description. Entirely hardy, very free growing, a profuse 
bloomer and thrives in all soils. It should have a prominent place in every garden, 
not only because it is such a glorious shrub, but for its flowers appearing at a 
time when few others are to be found. It is planted in great numbers at Newport, 
and attracts a great deal of admiration at that well known place. A bed of one 
hundred makes a most striking appearance. Each 10 cts.; three for 27 cts., postpaid. 
EVERBLOOMING SNOWBALL, HYDRANGEA. 
Found growing wild in the rocky hills of Western Pennsylvania, this new hardy 
shrub was instantly recognized as something out of the ordinary and became a 
welcome addition to our list of really valuable plants. Few of our native garden 
shrubs are so attractive in habit and elegance of foliage. It is perfectly hardy, 
having stood a temperature of 20 degrees below zero without injury. The flower 
is very like the greenhouse Hydrangeas and pure white. The panicles are immense 
in size, but the everblooming habit of this variety is its most remarkable and value- 
able characteristic, blooming profusely from June until September. No hardy shrub 
introduced in years has had such unqualified endorsement as this New Ever- 
blooming Hydrangea. 18 cts. each, or three for 50 cts., postpaid. 
SNOWBALL—VIBURNUM. 
COMMON SNOWBALL (VY. opulus sterilis)—-A superb old-fashioned shrub, popular 
and much admired. Of large size and spreading habit, bearing in June large 
globular clusters of pure white flowers resembling immense snowballs. Each, 12 ets. 
JAPAN SNOWBALL (VY. Plicatum)—The best of the Viburnums, of purer color and 
better form than the above, and one of the finest flowering shrubs, but difficult 
to propagate and hence rather searce. Moderate in growth “and compact in form, 
rich deep green plicated foliage; large, globular flower clusters of the purest 
white produced all over the bush in great abundance. Exceedingly choice, its 
fine flowers are very beautiful and its handsome plicate foliage makes it a 
lovely object at all tmesi 12 ects. each; the two for 20 cts., postpaid. 
HONEYSUCKLES. 
For real handsome vines, to be near you, climbing over windows and doorways, 
there is nothing prettier than sweet-scented Honeysuckles; the foliage is pretty, 
neat and clean, the flowers are almost continuous, and their fragrance delicious. 
The varieties described below are the very best. 
HONEYSUCKLE HEDGES—Some of our friends have conceived the idea of planting 
Honeysuckles along the division fences, and it is wonderful what pretty hedges 
they make. Iron or wire fences are the best, but almost any kind is soon 
covered with a mantel of living green. Other climbing vines will answer the 
purpose, but the sweet-scented Honeysuckles are both fragrant and beautiful. 
They should be planted two feet apart. 
HALL’S JAPAN—A strong growing, almost evergreen sort, with pure white flowers 
changing to yellow. Very fragrant and covered with flowers from July to November. 
MONTHLY FRAGRANT—Red and yellow; very fragrant. Blooms all summer; 
leaves tinged reddish color. = 
SCARLET TRUMPET—Bright red trumpet-shaped flowers; blooms freely, vigorous 
and rapid growing. Price of Honeysuckles 12 cts. each; the three varieties, one 
of each, 30 cts.
