PLANT NOVELTIES. 
CHINESE PLANTS.—Continued. 
SORBARIA glabrata. An extremely ornamental late summer- 
flowering shrub, growing 6 to 15 ft. tall, with pinnately divided, 
dark green leaves. The flowers are snow-white, abundantly 
produced in terminal much branched panicles 15 to 18 in. 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 late flowering 
shrubs. Though botanically regarded as a variety of Sorbaria 
arborea, for garden purposes, it is abundantly distinct from the 
type. Each, 75 cts.; dozen, $7.50 
SPIRAEA Henryi. A bush 4 to 6 ft. tall with rather stiff spread- 
ing branches and corymbose masses of pure white flowers pro- 
duced from the leaf axils in June. This fine Spiraea is perfectly 
hardy, free-growing and most floriferous and certainly one of the 
finest of its family. Strong plants, each, $1.00; dozen, $10.00. 
SPIRAEA ‘Henryi var. notabilis. Bush 3 to 6 ft. tall with 
spreading branches and neat foliage. Flowers white, freely 
produced in larger trusses than those of the type. This new 
plant is perfectly hardy, and a valuable addition to shrubbery. 
Each, $1.00; dozen, $10.00. 
SPIRAEA Rosthornii. A shrub 4 to 6 ft. tall with laxly arching 
branches and large much branched axillary corymbs of pure 
white flowers. The leaves are deeply incised and add much to 
the charm and elegance of the plant. It is quite new to cultiva- 
tion and promises to be a most useful summer-flowering shrub. 
Each, $1.00; dozen, $10.00. 
SYRINGA Wilsonii. A new species of Lilac from the borders of 
China and Thibet; growing 10 to 15 ft. tall and producing erect, 
much branched trusses, each 10 to 12 in. long, of white or pink 
fragrant flowers. Perfectly hardy and very ornamental. Each, 
$1.00; dozen, $10.00. 
OTHER NEW AND RARE PLANTS.

nese shrub is wonderfully floriferous, absolutely hardy and 
should be in every collection. The colors range from rich golden- 
yellow to orange-scarlet, rose and coppery-red. They are sold 
in mixture, not in separate colors as they have not yet been sepa- 
rated. Each, $1.00; dozen, $10.00. 
CLEMATIS koreana. In habit this resembles C. tangutica but 
differs from that variety in having glaucous foliage and flowers of 
a copper-yellow. This, as its name implies, is Korean, not 
Chinese. Each, 30 cts.; dozen, $3.00. 
CLETHRA tomentosa. ‘Woolly Pepper bush.’ A handsome 
native shrub growing 5 to 10 feet tall producing in August an 
abundance of pure white flowers. Should be in every garden.

$10.00. 
HYDRANGEA petiolaris. This splendid hardy climber, hitherto 
has been but little known, although it was introduced from Japan 
a generation ago. Once established, it climbs rapidly, clinging 
by rootlets like English ivy. The foliage is bright green, quite 
massive, and numerous flat flower-cymes are produced which 
average 8 to 10 in. in diameter. The flowers are white, coming 
in the early summer. Strong plants, 75 cts. each; dozen, $8.00. 
LONICERA bella. This Bush Honeysuckle is a hybrid between 
L. tatarica and L. Morrowi and combines the good qualities of 
both parents. It grows 8 to 10 ft. tall and more in diameter, 
and flowers and fruits abundantly. The flowers vary from 
pure white to pink, and the fruit, which is ripe in August, is red. 
Altogether it is a very handsome and valuable hardy shrub. 
Each, 50 cts.; dozen, $5.00.

suckles. It grows 6 to 8 ft. tall and is much more in diameter.

In autumn the plant is covered with scarlet fruit, and this is

and should be planted in every garden. Each, 50 cts.; dozen, 
$5.00.
