 tion to the shrubberj-. A great acquisition, never before offered. Each, 

 $2.00; dozen, -520.00.

 all the Asiatic species of Mock-orange. It forms a much-branched bush

 fectly hardy around Boston and never fails to produce a wealth of 

 blossoms about mid-June. Each, $2.00; dozen, S20.00. 



Hypericum patulum var. Henryi, 



Clematis tanguticus. 



PHELLODENDRON ehinense. A small hardy tree, growing 25 to .30feet tall

 first creeping, ultimately becomes erect and bushy. Each.S2.00; dozen, S20.00. 



SORB ARIA glabPata. This is an extremely ornamental autumn-flowering 

 shrub, growing 6 to 15 feet tall, with pinnately divided, dark green leaves. 

 The flowers are snow-white, abundantly produced in terminal much-branched 

 panicles 15 to 18 inches 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 valuable addition to the list of autumn-flowering shrubs. 

 Though botanically regarded as a variety of Sorbaria arborea for garden pur- 

 poses, it is abundantly distinct from the type. Each, 75 cts.; dozen, $7.50. 

 Extra strong plants, each $1.50; dozen, $15.00. 



SPIRAEA RoSthOPnii. A shrub 4 to O feet tall with laxly-arching branches

 shrub. Each, SI. 50; dozen, $15.00.
