with spreading, drooping branches; gray-green leaves; white on the 
underside; pink, fragrant flowers and bright scarlet berries. An 
invaluable addition. $1.00 each; $10.00 per doz. 
MORUS aecidosa. (Chinese Mulberry.) A perfectly hardy variety, 
free growing and dioiceus; the female bearing an abundance of edible 
fruits. It is valuable for planting in chicken yards and has been 
found, thus far, immune from insects. $1.50 each; $15.00 per doz. 
NEILLIA sinensis. In general appearance and habit of growth this 
charming new shrub resembles the well-known Stephanandra flexuosa, 
but its foliage is of deeper green and of even greater delicacy of form. 
In late June and July is tipped with clear bright pink flower clusters 
of exquisite beauty. Plants, flowering size, $2.50 each. 
POTENTILLA fruiticosa var. splendens. A worthy companion to 
P. Veitchii, similar in habit and equally floriferous, but with bright 
vellow flowers. It is perfectly hardy and well adapted for rock gar- 
dens. $1.00 each; $10.00 per doz. 
RHODODENDRON miecranthum. Low, twiggy, densely branched 
evergreen shrub, growing to 8 ft. in height and about the same in

neat shrub, suitable for rockeries and massing. Large plants, $5.00 
each; $55.00 per doz. 
RHUS sylvestris. A large growing bush with white flowers and hand- 
some foliage with prominent veins. $1.00 each. 
ROSA Beggarianum. This hardy free-growing species from Central 
Asia forms dense rounded masses about a yard in height, densely 
covered in Summer with pure white, single flowers against a foil of 
gray-green leaves. In Autumn it is covered with a wealth of scarlet 
fruits. $3.00 each. 
SORBARIA arborea glabrata. An extremely ornamental, late Sum- 
mer flowering shrub, growing 6 to 15 ft. tall, with pinnately divided, 
dark green leaves. The flowers are snow-white, abundantly pro- 
duced in terminal, much branched panicles, 15 to 18 in. long, during 
September and continuing to flower until the advent of sharp frosts 
late in the Fall. It is perfectly hardy, free-growing and a most valu- 
able addition to the list of late-flowering shrubs. Though botanically 
regarded as a variety of Sorbaria arborea, for garden purposes, it is 
abundantly distinct from the type. $1.00 each; $10.00 per doz. 
SPIRAEA Henryi. A bush 4 to 6 ft. tall with rather stiff spreading 
branches and corymbose masses of pure white flowers produced from 
the leaf axils in June. This fine Spirzea is perfectly hardy, free- 
growing and most floriferous and certainly one of the finest of its 
family. Strong plants, $1.00 each; $10.00 per doz. 
VIBURNUM Sargentii. This Asiatic relative of the American High- 
bush Cranberry is perfectly hardy and very free growing and in flower
