Hedera helix baltica. Hardy English Ivy. A very 

 hardy evergreen variety from Russia, with beautiful, dark 

 green leaves veined with a lighter shade. This Ivy is quite 

 hardy in New England on the north or northeasterly side of 

 buildings or in other positions shaded by trees. It is also con- 

 sidered one of the best for a ground-cover, quickly 

 forming a dense mass of leaves. A specimen plant 

 of this wonderful Ivy may be seen growing on 

 one of the walls of the Administration Building of 

 the Arnold Arboretum, Jamaica Plain, Mass.

Forsythia intermedia spectabilis. 



Of hybrid origin, this is one of the handsomest of 

 all Forsythias. It has gracefully arching stems 

 and rich yellow 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 Korolkowi floribunda. 



Broad Blueleaf Honeysuckle. 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 brilUant pink floating on thin mists. Splendid 

 when permitted to develop into a large isolated 

 plant. $2.00 each.
