 duced on erect panicles 3 to 5 in. long. These are followed by masses

 dark green oblong lanceolate leaves. It has survived several Winters

 form and size of B. Thunbergii, but with branches more pendulous. 

 Flowers golden-yellow in dense clusters; fruit salmon-red produced 

 in great quantity. A very distinct and handsome shrub; foliage as- 

 suming a brilliant Fall coloring. In New England it requires 

 sheltered situation or slight protection during Winter. $2.00 each.

 and even more compact in habit. Valuable for rockeries. 50 cts. 

 each; $.5.00 per doz.

 to flower, blooming in September. It bears immense, tail-like spikes, 

 which sometimes attain a length of thirty inches, of bright rosy-lilac 

 flowers with orange eyes. 75 cts. each, $7.50 per doz.

 waved leaves and scarlet fruits. Perfectly hardy, well suited for 

 rockeries and for covering banks. $2.00 each.

CALLICARPA diehotoma. A shrub from two to six feet tall with 

 neat foliage and axillary clusters of small rosy-purple fruits. The 

 color of the fruit in this plant and its relative C. japonica, is unique 

 among hardy shrubs, and in the Autumn when laden with clustered 

 berries, their charm is irresistible. SI. 50 each. 



DIERVILLA florida. The hardiest of the Weigelas, and a native of 

 Korea; grows four to six feet tall, and bears in season a multitude of 

 flowers, ranging in color from pink to rosy-red. $1.50 each.

 given to the gardens of eastern North America. 81.50 each.

 ingly dense mat of deepest green, glossy, neat, arrow-shaped foliage.

 ing shown no tendency to variegation. 75 cts. each; 87.50 per doz. 



EUONYMUS radieans Silver Gem. The best variegated form of 

 E. radieans we have ever seen. The plants were obtained by us from

 found it perfectly hardy at our Dedham Nurseries. 50 cts. each; 

 $5.00 per doz.

 China, somewhat resembling an Ash. It flowers in August and has 

 large, flat, terminal corymbs of white flowers which are followed by 

 black fruits. A member of the Rue family, it is not attacked by any 

 insect pests and is a most useful addition to the list of late-flowering 

 trees. $.3.50 each. 



FORSYTH I A intermedia speetabilis. Of hybrid origin, this is the 

 handsomest of all Forsythias. It has arching stems, rich yellow flowers 

 liirger than those of other sorts. Ought to be in every American

 most charming of Spring-flowering hardy shrubs. In general

 same general habit of growth or perhaps somewhat more upright 

 flowers of the same size and bright pink in color, of a shade hardly 

 to be expected in an out-door hardy shrub. $5.00 each ; six plants, 

 $25.00.
