R. & J. FARQUHAR & CO., BOSTON. PLANT NOVELTIES. 
FARQUHAR’S NEW AND 
RARE P LAN T S e—Continued. 
Spirea Henryi. 
NEILLIA sinensis. In general appearance and habit of growth this 
charming new shrub resembles the well-known Stephanandra flexuosa 
but its foliage is of deeper green and of even greater delicacy of form. 
In late June and July is tipped with clear bright pink flower clusters 
of exquisite beauty. Plants, flowering size, each, $1.00. Larger 
plants, each, $2.50. 
POTENTILLA Veitchii. A beautiful, bushy, dwarf shrub growing 
2 to 3 ft. tall, and producing sprays of pure white flowers from May 
until late Autumn. It is absolutely hardy and worthy of a place in 
every garden, large or small. Each, $1.00; doz., $10.00. 
POTENTILLA fruticosa var. splendens. A worthy companion to P. 
Veitchii, similar in habit and equally floriferous, but with bright yellow 
flowers. It is perfectly hardy and well adapted for rock gardens. 
Each, $1.00; doz., $10.00. 
SORBARIA arborea 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. Itis 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, 50 cts.; doz., $5.00. Extra large, 
each, $1.00; doz., $10.00. 
SPIRZA Henryi. A bush 4 to 6 ft. tall with rather stiff spreading 
branches and corymbose masses of pure white flowers produced from 
the leaf axils in June. This fine Spirea is perfectly hardy, free- 
growing and most floriferous and certainly one of the finest of its 
family. Strong plants, each, $1.00; doz., $10.00. 
Potentilla 
SPIR2ZA 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; doz., $10.00. 
SPIRAA Rosthornii. Ashrub4 to 6ft. tall withlaxly 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 cultivation and promises to be a most 
useful Summer-flowering shrub. Each, $1.00; doz., $10.00. 
ULMUS pumila. Small tree with slender, spreading branches and 
small leaves only about 1 or 2incheslong. A very hardy and graceful 
tree. 10 to 12ft. Each, $5.00. 
VIBURNUM Sargentii. This Asiatic relative of the American High- 
bush Cranberry is perfectly hardy and very free growing and in 
flower is the most beautiful of the Opulus group. The white blossoms 
are followed by masses of red fruits, which are retained late into the 
Fall. Each, $1.00; doz., $10.00. Larger Plants, each, $2.00; doz., 
$20.00.
