R. & J. FARQUHAR COMPANY, BOSTON. PLANT NOVELTIES. 



FARQUHAR'S NEW AND RARE PLANTS.— Continued: 



GENISTA praecox. A hybrid Broom, with sulphur yellow flowers 

 produced in great abundance in May. Habit similar to the well- 

 known G. albus. $1.00 each; $10.00 per doz. 



LONICERA Korolkowi, var. floribunda. This valuable Bush 

 Honeysuckle is one of the gems of a lovely group of hardy shrubs. 

 Vigorous of growth, with twiggy branchlets and bluish-gray-green 

 leaves, its striking blooms are a beautiful pink shade, and are pro- 

 duced in utmost profusion. Graceful in habit, the effect produced 

 from a short distance is of brilliant-pink floating on thin mists. 

 $2.00 each. 



LONICERA Maackii. One of the very finest of all Bush Honey- 

 suckles. It grows 6 to 8 ft. tall and is much more in diameter. The 

 leaves are relatively large, broadly ovate, and the large white flowers 

 stand well above the leaves. In Autumn the plant is covered with 

 scarlet fruit, and this is retained far into the Winter. This shrub is 

 absolutely hardy. Pot-grown Plants, $1.00 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. 



MAGNOLIA Soulangea. (Soulange's Saucer Magnolia.) One of the 

 hardiest Magnolias, making a quick, vigorous growth. The beautiful, 

 fragrant pink flowers are borne profusely in early Spring, and the 

 whole tree, on account of its symmetrical habit and abundance of 

 bloom, presents a most striking and magnificent appearance; the 

 large glossy foliage is also very ornamental and adds to the value of 

 the tree for decorative purposes. 3 to 4 ft. $10.00 each. 



Spiraea rrichocarpa. 



Lonicera Maackii, var. podocarpa. 



LONICERA Maackii, var. podocarpa. This magnificent hardy, 

 quick-growing shrub 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 beauti- 

 ful. Pot-grown Plants, $1.00 each; $10.00 per doz. 



SPIR.ffiA trichocarpa. This is a new, perfectly hardy species from 

 Korea, and forms a broad spreading shrub from four to six feet 

 tall; 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. 



MENISPERMUM dahuricum. A very hardy vine with large, deep 

 green leaves, and biue-black fruits. Suitable for low trellises 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. 2\ to 3 ft. 

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



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



quefoil is somewhat dwarfer and more spreading than the type and 

 has the advantage of flowering in early and late Summer. Pot-grown 

 plants, $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. $3.50 each. 



RHODODENDRON mueronulatum. 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 flowes. $3.50 each. 



RHODODENDRON reticulatum. This deciduous Japanese species 

 is a tall shrub with twiggy branches and clusters of rose-red to red- 

 purple, rather flat blossoms. $3.50 each. 



SPIRAEA ulmifolia. A shrub 2-4 ft. tall with corymbs of relatively 

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



VIBURNUM Carlesi. A Korean plant of recent introduction bearing 

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

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