 showy, followed by crimson fruits in autumn. Plants from 

 33^-in. pots, $1.50 each. 



Cotoneaster racemiflora Soongarica. Avery 



ornamental, medium-sized shrub of compact, graceful form, 

 bearing light pink flowers in spring which are followed by 

 bright red fruits in the fall, at which time the foUage also 

 assumes a briUiant red color. Plants from 33^2-iii. pots, 

 12.50 each. 



Enkianthus campanulatus. RedvdnEnUanthus. a 



very hardy shrub from central Japan which grows from 6 to 

 12 feet high and is very bushy. The bell-shaped flowers, borne 

 profusely in racemose clusters, are yellow, deeply stained and 

 striped with salmon and crimson. Leaves turn a wonderful 

 color in autumn. $2.50 each; $22.50 for 10. 



Forsythia intermedia spectabilis. Of hybrid 



origin, this is one of the handsomest of all Forsythias. It has 

 gracefully arching stems and rich yeUow flowers somewhat larger 

 than those of any other sort. The general color effect is a shade 

 or two richer than the older varieties and its profusion of 

 bloom is so remarkable that it puts the old-fashioned types to 

 shame. One of the most desirable of all hardy shrubs. $1.50 each. 



Lonicera demissa. A new species from the high 

 mountains of central Japan, forming an upright, twiggy bush 

 from 6 to 8 feet tall. It has slender twiggy branches, yellowish 

 flowers, followed by bright scarlet berries, and is a valuable 

 addition to the group of hardy, red-fruited Bush Honeysuckles. 

 12 to 15-in., $2.00 each. 



Lonicera Korolkowi ffloribunda. This valuable 



Bush Honeysuckle is one of the gems of a lovely group of 

 hardy shrubs. Vigorous of growth, with twiggy branchlets and 

 bluish gray-green leaves, its striking blooms are a beautiful 

 pink shade, and are produced in utmost profusion. Graceful 

 in habit, the effect produced from a short distance is of bril- 

 liant pink floating on thin mists. Splendid when permitted 

 to develop into a large isolated plant. $2.00 each. 



Spiraea Henryi 



Lonicera Maacki. One of the very finest of all Bush 

 Honeysuckles. It grows 6 to 8 feet tall and is much more in 

 diameter. The leaves are relatively large, broadly ovate, and 

 the large white flowers stand well above the foliage. In autumn 

 the plant is covered with scarlet fruit, and this is retained far 

 into the winter. This shrub is absolutely hardy and makes a 

 splendid specimen plant. $1.00 each; $9.00 for 10. 



Lonicera Maacki podocarpa. This magnificent, 



hardy, quick-growing shrub has long sprays of white flowers 

 and scarlet fruits which ripen in September and remain on the 

 plant far into the winter. The leaves are retained very late and 

 the contrast between green leaves and scarlet berries is extra- 

 ordinarily beautiful. $1.50 each; $14.00 for 10. 



Spiraea trichocarpa. This is a new, perfectly hardy 

 species from Korea, and forms a broad, spreading shrub from 

 4 to 6 feet tall. Its arching stems, in season, are laden with 

 broad, dome-like clusters of snow-white flowers. It blooms 

 much later than the well-known S. Van Houtiei, and is con- 

 sidered a far superior variety. 2 to 3 ft., $1.50 each; 3 to 4 ft., 

 $2.50 each. 



Spiraea Henryi. a new and magnificent midseason- 

 flowering Spirea from China. It is of vigorous, erect habit, with 

 spreading, arching branches on the upper side of which, from 

 each leaf-axil, arise 6-inch-broad heads of pure white flowers. 

 So freely are the blossoms borne that the whole bush, in season, 

 is a bouquet of white. A perfectly formed shrub, it grows some 

 8 feet tall and even more in diameter, and is one of the finest 

 and most beautiful of the early summer-flowering shrubs hardy 

 in New England. 23^ .o 3 ft., $2.00 each. 



Viburnum Carlesi. Fragrant Viburnum. A Korean 

 plant of recent introduction, bearing large corymbs of sweet- 

 scented white flowers, resembling those of the bouvardia. It 

 forms a low, bushy shrub and blooms profusely when estab- 

 hshed. A most desirable, rare shrub. 1 to 13^ ft., $3.00 each.
