R. & J. FARQUHAR CO., BOSTON. NEW AND RARE PLANTS 



FARQUHAR'S NEW AND RARE PLANTS, continued 



Lonicera Maacki. One of the very finest of all Bush 

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

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

 the large white flowers stand well above the fohage. 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 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. 

 18 to 24 in., $2.00 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. 3 to 3 M ft., $1.50 each; $12.50 for 10. 



Sorbaria arborea glabrata 



Sorbaria arborea glabrata. An extremely orna- 

 mental, late summer-flowering shrub, growing 6 to 15 feet tall, 

 with pinnately divided, dark green leaves. The flowers are 

 snow-white, abimdantly produced in terminal, much-branched 

 panicles, 15 to 18 inches long, during September, and con- 

 tinuing to flower until the advent of sharp frosts late in the 

 fall. It is perfectly hardy, free-growing, and a most valuable 

 addition to the hst of late-flowering shrubs. Though botanically 

 regarded as a variety of Sorbaria arborea, for garden purposes, 

 it is abundantly distinct from the type. 2 to 2^ ft., $1.00 

 each; $9.00 for 10. 



Spiraea trichocarpa 



Spiraea trichocarpa. Korean Spirea. This is a new, 

 perfectly hardy species from Korea, and forms a broad, spread- 

 ing 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 Houltei, 

 and is considered a far superior variety. 2 to 3 ft., $1.00 each, 

 $9.00 for 10; 3 to 4 ft., $1.50 each, $12.50 for 10. 



Viburnum Carlesi. Fragrant Vibumum. 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- 

 lished. A most desirable, rare shrub, invaluable for rock gar- 

 den and specimen planting. IH to 2 ft., $3.00 each; 2 to 2 J/2 

 ft., .I4..50 each.
