THE DINGEE & CONARD COMPANY'S 



New Double White Japan Snowball. 



THIS grand New Double "V\'hite Japan Snow- 

 ball is undoubtedly one of the most superb 

 hardy flowering Shrubs ever introduced; 

 it blooms in June, when the whole bush is com- 

 pletely covered and loaded down with gi-eat 

 compact balls of pure white double flowers, 

 like miniature Roses. These magnificent balls 

 of flowers are borne in such great profusion 

 that they almost completely hide the leaves and 

 branches, and the whole bush appears one dense 

 mass of bloom ; the tree is of erect btishy growth, 

 with deep glossy green leaves having a pectiliar 

 crimped and crinkled appearance; grows 6 to 3 

 feet high, and is entirely hardy, needing no 

 protection of any kind. We have grown it for 

 a long time, but have only lately succeeded in 



raising a large stock. Our stock this year is 

 large and finely grown, and our artist has made 

 a fine illttstration which, though not nearly as 

 handsome as the plant itself, gives some idea of 

 its wonderful beatity. We can cordially recom- 

 mend it as one of the very best Hardy Orna- 

 mental Flowering Shrubs for dooryard, lawn, 

 and park planting: it is also very suitable for 

 'cemeteries, as it is vigorous and hardy, and stire 

 to bloom, and being quite scarce and rare, it 

 always attracts a great deal of attention wherever 

 seen. 



It is one of the things you don't want to miss 

 getting, and ours is the' true genuine variety, 

 propagated from large old blooming plants 

 here on our own grounds. 



We have the lararest stock of this valuable 

 new shrub to be found in this country.
