NEW AND RARE PLANTS. 



Mostly collected for the Arnold Arboretum of Harvard University by Mr. E. H. Wilson, 



in remote regions of China. 



Gold Medal awarded by the Massachusetts Horticultural Society. 



Spiraea Trichocarpa. 



SPIR-flSA TRICHOCARPA. This is a new, perfectly hardy species from 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 clysters of snow-white flowers. It blooms much later than the well-known S. van Houttei, and is a far superior variety 

 in all respects. ' *

BERBERIS brevipanieulata. The small yellow flowers are freely pro- 

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

BERBERIS Gagnepainii. A neat compact-growing evergreen shrub 

 with lanceolate spiny leaves and bluish-black bloomy fruit; valuable

 icles, measuring six inches long, which is followed by salmon-red

BERBERIS Vernae. A shrub about 6 ft. high and as much in d.ameter 

 with dense, twiggy, arching branches, neat foliage, bearing in the 

 Autumn a profusion of salmon-red, rounded fruits. One of the hardiest 

 and handsomest of the new Chinese Barberries. $2.00 each.

 foliage, glaucous beneath. Fruit violet-black, bloomy, very band- 

 some. $2.00 each.

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

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

 suming a brilliant Fall coloring. In New England it requires a 

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

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

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

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

 berries, their charm is irresistible. $1.50 each.
