FARQUHAR'S NEW and RARE CHINESE FLAmS.— Continued.

 and bearing almost sessile clusters of coral-red fruit. The leaves are 

 ovate, shining green and though spiny in the juvenile state are nearly 

 smooth in adult specimens. It is probably quite as hardy as the European 

 Holly. Each, -SLOO; dozen, $10.00. 



LIGUSTRUM Prattii. An elegant evergreen shrub growing 3 to 6 ft. 

 tall, with spreading twiggy branches and small shining green leaves. It

LONICERA nitida. An erect-growing evergreen shrub 3 to 5 ft. tall, densely 

 branched and crowded with small, leathery, lustrous, dark green leaves.

 most distinct and charming acquisition. Each, $1.00; dozen, $10.00 



PHELLODENDRON chinense. A small hardy tree, growing 25 to 30 ft. 

 tall, with rough ornamental bark and fine pinnate leaves, which assume a

 woolly, ovate and retained well into the late fall. A very desirable 

 and useful shrub. Strong plants. Each, $1.00; dozen, $10.00. 



PHILADELPHUS Magdalense. One of the prettiest and neatest of all 

 the Asiatic species of Mock-Orange. It forms a much branched bush 

 6 to 8 ft. 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, SI. 00; dozen, $10.00

PHILADELPHUS serieanthus var. Rehderianus. A fine Mock- 

 Orange growing 10 to 12 ft. tall with large handsome flowers freely

 addition to the shrubbery. A great acquisition, never before offered.

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.

POTENTILLA Veitchii. A beautiful bushy dwarf shrub growing 

 2 to 3 ft. tall and producing sprays of pure white flowers from May until

 garden, large or small. Each, $1.00; dozen, $10.00. 



SCHIZOPHRAGMA Integrifolium. A sub-scandent shrub, 5 to 10 

 ft. tall, with ovate glossy green leaves, and trusses of flowers 15 to 20 

 in. across. These flowers are surrounded by large, pure white bracts, 

 making the plant extremely ornamental. A free-flowering sun-loving 

 shrub, this new Schizophragma is eminently suited for planting in 

 rocky situations. Its habit at first creeping, ultimately becomes erect 

 and bushy. Each, $1.00; dozen, $10.00.
