Spiraea Trichocarpa. 



SPIR^A TRICHOCARPA. This is a new, perfectly hardy species frona Korea, and without doubt, one of the very best. A broad 

 spreading shrub growing from four to six feet tall and even more in diameter, its arching stems, in season, are laden with broad 

 dome-like clusters of snow-white flowers. It blooms much later than the well-known S. van Houttei, and is considered a far 

 superior variety. 



Pot grown plants, $1.00 each; Field-grown plants, $2.00 each. 



LONICERA Maaekii, var. podocarpa. This magnificent and abso- 

 lutely hardy, quick-growing shrub grows 10 to 15 feet high and as 

 much in diameter, has long sprays of white flowers and scarlet fruits 

 which ripen in September and remain on the plant far into the Winter. 

 The leaves are retained very late and the contrast between green leaves 

 and scarlet berries is extraordinarily beautiful. Admitted to be one 

 of the finest of Wilson's introductions from China. Pot-grown 

 Plants, Sl.OO each; $10.00 per doz. 



LONICERA museaviensis. A hybrid Bush Honeysuckle growing 12 

 feet high and more in diameter, has arching and spreading branches, 

 flowers in abundance and masses of crimson fruit ripening early in 

 July. Hardy as far north as Ottawa and one of the best of its class. 

 $1.00 each; $10.00 per doz. 



MENISPERMUM dahurieum. A very hardy vine with large, deep 

 green leaves, and blue-black fruits. Suitable for low treUises and as 

 a tangled growth over rocks. $1.00 each; $10.00 per doz. 



PICEA Koyamai. A new Spruce from Japan with lustrous dark green 

 foliage on spreading, ascending branches, with branchlets more or 

 less pendent. Of vigorous growth and perfectly hardy. It promises 

 to be one of the most useful additions to the list of hardy conifers that 

 Japan has given to the gardens of eastern North America. 2^ to 3 ft. 

 $3.50 each; 3 to 3^ ft., $4.00 each; $3i to 4 ft., $5.00 each. 



POTENTILLA frutieosa var. parvifolia. This yellow, shrubby Cin- 

 quefoil is somewhat dwarfer and more spreading than the type P. 

 frutieosa and has the advantage of flowering in early and late Summer. 

 It does well in sunny situations. Plants in pots, $1.00 each; $10.00 

 per doz. 



RHODODENDRON japonicum. One of the handsomest of all hardy 

 Azaleas, this has relatively stout, erect shoots, each terminating in a 

 large globose cluster of orange-red to flame-red funnel-shaped flowers, 

 each two to two and one-half inches across. The blooms appear 

 before the leaves. $3.50 each. 



RHODODENDRON mucronulatum. The first of all Azaleas to 

 open its blossoms and one of the loveliest of Spring-flowering shrubs. 

 It is a twiggy bush from three to five feet tall, and it clothes itself in 

 a wealth of rose-pink to rosy-red flowers. The leaves are fragrant 

 and in the Autumn change to yellow, red and vinous purple. $3.50 

 each. 



RHODODENDRON retieulatum. Better known as R. rhombicum, 

 this deciduous Japanese species is a tall shrub with twiggy branches 

 and clusters of rose-red to red-purple, rather flat blossoms. In Aut- 

 umn the leaves change to vinous-purple. $3.50 each. 



SPIR.S;A ulmifolia. A shrub 2-4 ft. tall with corymbs of relatively 



large, pure white flowers. Perfectly hardy. $1.00 each. 



VIBURNUM Carlesii. A Korean plant of recent introduction bearing 

 large corymbs of sweet scented white flowers, resembling those of the 

 Bouvardia. A most desirable shrub. $2.50 each; $27.00 per dozen.
