R. & J. FARQUHAR COMPANY, BOSTON. PLANT NOVELTIES. 
RHODODENDRON micranthum. Low, twiggy, densely branched 
evergreen shrub, growing to 3 ft. in height and about the same in 
diameter, bearing in profusion clusters of small, white flowers. <A 
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. 
SPIRZA Henryi. A bush 4 to 6 ft. tall with rather stiff spreading 
branches and corymbose masses of pure wl ite flowers produced from 
the leaf axils in June. This fine Spirea 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. 
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. 
TWO NEW HARDY AZALEAS. 
The finest Novelties of the season. 
RHODODENDRON hybridum Louisa Hunnewell. This gor- 
geous new variety is a hybrid of R. japonicum and R. sinense. It 
forms an erect bush four to five feet in height, which is crowned 
with huge flower clusters of glowing golden-yellow. It is. per- 
fectly hardy in Massachusetts. Awarded a Gold Medal by the 
Massachusetts Horticultural Society. $5.00 each. Six plants, 
$25.00. 
RHODODENDRON Schlippenbachii. One of the earliest and 
most charming of Spring-flowering hardy shrubs. In general 
appearance this new plant resembles Azalea indica, having the 
same general habit of growth or perhaps somewhat more upright: 
flowers of the same size and bright pink in color, of a shade hardly 
to be expected in an out-door hardy shrub. Plants in pots, $5.00 
each. Six plants, $25.00. 
Rhododendfon Schlippenbachii. 
Sorbaria arborea glabrata.

ENKIANTHUS campanulatus. A very hardy shrub from central 
Japan, grows 6 to 12 ft. high and is very bushy. The bell-shaped

stained and striped with salmon and crimson. Leaves turn a won- 
derful color in Autumn. Merits a prominent place in every garden.

produced in great abundance in May. Habit similar to the well- 
known G. albus. $1.00 each; $10.00 per doz. 
HYDRANGEA petiolaris. This splendid hardy climber, hitherto has 
been but little known, although it was introduced from Japan a 
generation ago. Once established, it climbs rapidly, clinging by 
rootlets like English Ivy. The foliage is bright green, quite massive, 
and numerous flat flower-cymes are produced which average 8 to 10 
inches in diameter. The flowers are white, opening in early Sum- 
mer. $1.00 each; $10.00 per doz. (Illustrated on page 2.)
