 shrubbery. A great acquisition. Each, SI. 00; dozen, $10.00.

 Veitchii, similar in habit and equally fioriferous, but with bright yellow 

 flowers. It is perfectly hardy and well adapted for rock gardens. Each, 

 •SI. 00; dozen, $10.00.

 branched panicles 15 to 18 in. long, during September and continuing

 fectly hardy, free-growing and a most valuable addition to the list of
