MIDSUMMER CATALOGUE, 
ION: 
FARQUHAR’S NEW AND RARE CHINESE PLANTS.— continues. 
Clematis tanguticus. 
PHILODENDRON CAINENSE. A small hardy tree, growing 25 
to 30 feet tall with rough ornamental bark and fine pinnate leaves, which 
assume a brighter yellow color in the autumn. In China its bark is 
valued as a tonic medicine. An interesting addition to the Arboretum. 
Each, $2.50; dozen, $25.00. 
CLEMATIS KOREANA. In habit this resembles C. tanguticus 
but differs from that variety in having glaucous foliage and flowers of 
a coppery-yellow. This, as its name implies is Korean, not Chinese. 
2-inch pots, 30 cts. cach; $3.00 per dozen. 
HYDRANGEA PETIOLARIS. This splendid hardy climber, hitherto, 
has been but little known, although it was introduced from Japan a gen- 
eration ago. Once established, it climbs rapidly, clinging by its little 
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, coming in the early summer. 
t-inch pots, 75 cts each; $8.00 per dozen. 
ILEX CARALLINA. A very pretty evergreen Holly, growing naturally, 
10 to 12 feet tall and bearing almost sessile clusters of coral-red fruit. The 
leaves are ovate, shining green and though spiny in the juvenile stage are 
nearly smooth in adult specimens. It is probably quite as hardy as the 
European Holly. Now offered for the first time. Each, $1.00; dozen, 
$11.00. 
CLEMATIS TANGUTICUS. Fine Chinese variety of free and rapid growth; 
foliage dense and bright green. A good climber and one of the best ground- 
covering plants. Flowers bright yellow. August—October. 2-inch pots, 
30 cts, each; $3.00 per dozen. 
HYPERICUM PATULUM VAR. HENRYI. A new hardy St. John’s Wort, 
growing 24 to 4 feet with masses of clear yellow flowers produced in great 
profusion during July and August. The leaves are elliptic-ovate about 14 
inches long and are retained late into the fall. A very desirable yellow-flowered 
shrub. Offered for the first time. Each, $2.50; dozen, $25.00. 
PHILADELPHUS INCANUS. Bush growing 6 to 10 feet tall, much 
branched and twiggy in habit and exceedingly floriferous. The flowers are 
pure white 14 inches or more across and produced in early July. The leaves 
are woolly, ovate and retained well into the late fall. A very desirable and 
useful shrub. Strong plants. Offered for the first time. Each, $2.50: dozen, 
$25.00. 
PHILADELPHUS SERICANTHUS VAR. REHDERIANUS. A fine Mock- 
orange growing 10 to 12 feet tall with large handsome flowers freely produced « 
in July. It is very distinct from the type and a very valuable addition to 
the shrubbery. A great acquisition, never before offered. Each, $3.00; dozen 
$32.00. 
PHILADELPHUS MAGDALENA. Oneof the prettiest and neatest of all the 
Asiatic species of Mock-orange. It forms a much-branched bush 6 to 8 feet 
high and flowers as freely as any of its family. It is perfectly hardy around 
Boston and never fails to produce a wealth of blossoms about mid-June. Each. 
$2.00; dozen, $20.00. 
Hypericum patulum var. Henrvi.
