R. & J. FARQUHAR & CO., BOSTON. 
New and Rare Plants from the Wilds of China. 
Gellceted for the Arnold Arboretum of Harvard University by the indefatigable plant 
collector, Mr. E. H. Wilson, in remote and hitherto unexplored regions. 
Gold Medal Awarded by the Massachusetts Horticultural Society. 
A number of these plants were 
offered by us last year for the first 
time. We now offer for the first time 
another group of these plant treasures. 
They are attracting universal interest, 
many orders coming from Europe, 
Japan and other parts of the globe. 
They are unquestionably the finest 
plant novelties extant. 
AMPELOPSIS Henryana. (Vitis Hen- 
ryana.) In habit, this new climber 
resembles our native woodbine. The 
ground color of the leaves is dark velvety 
green, with the mid-rib and principal veins 
silvery white. The foliage has a very 
striking appearance in autumn when the 
ground color changes to vivid red, the 
mid-rib and vein remaining white. In 
Massachusetts, this vine requires protec- 
tion during winter, but would probably 
prove quite hardy south of New York, or 
even farther north where the influence of 
the ocean moderates the temperature. 
Award of Merit by the Royal Horticultural 
Society of London. Each 30 cts.; doz., 
$3.00. 
AMPELOPSIS Thomsonii. (Vitis Thom- 
sonii.) This charming new climber is 
one of the most beautiful of the Woodbine 
family. It requires protection during 
winter. The leaves are greenish purple 
above, and bright claret color beneath; 
changing in the Autumn to rich red. 
Award of Merit by the Royal Horticul- 
tural Society of London. Each, 30 cts.; 
doz., $3.00. 
AMPELOPSIS aconitifolius dissecta. A 
perfectly hardy vine, growing 8 to 10 
ft. tall, with elegantly dissected foliage and 
bright blue fruit; splendid for trellises. 
Each, 75 cts.; doz., $7.50. 
BERBERIS brevipaniculata. A bush 4 
to 6 ft. tall with wedge shaped small leaves 
clustered together and assuming fine tints 
in autumn. The small yellow flowers are 
freely produced on erect panicles 3 to 5 
in. long. ‘These are followed by masses of 
salmon-red fruits in early Autumn. The 
foliage is retained very late. Its several 
fine qualities make this new Barberry one 
of the handsomest and most distinct of its 
class. Each, 50 cts.; doz., $5.00 
Deutzia discolor. 
Buddleia variabilis magnifica. 
BUDDLEIA asiatiea. ‘‘White flowered Win- 
ter Lilac.’ An elegant pot plant suit- 
able for general decorative purposes and 
cut flowers. Cultural requirements same 
as those of Chrysanthemum. Blossoms 
December to March; every shoot termi- 
nating in a slender tail of pure white, de- 
liciously fragrant flowers. A notable ac- 
quisition. Each, 25 cts.; doz., $2.50. 
ne BUDDLEIA officinalis. ‘Winter Lilac.’ 
An excellent companion to B. asiatica with 
rose-pink fragrant flowers, each with

BUDDLEIA variabilis Veitehiana. ‘‘Sum- 
mer Lilac.’’ Late summer and early fall

dividual flowers are larger than those of 
Veitchiana, intense violent-purple in color 
with reflexed margins and orange eye. 
One of the finest acquisitions of recent 
years. A fairly rich soil, sunny position 
and abundance of water are the essentials 
for the successful culture of ‘‘Swmmer 
Lilac.” Each, 50 cts.; doz., $5.00. 
BUDDLEIA variabilis superba. Perhaps 
the finest of all the summer Lilacs. It has 
erect arching shoots 5 to 6 ft. tall, and im-

tiful hardy, new Clematis begins to bloom
