HYDRANGEA. This beautiful shrub is being sent out under 

 various names, as "Snowball Hydrangea," "Hills of Snow," etc. 

 This new American Hydrangea is believed to be the most beau- 

 tiful, hardy flowering shrub introduced for many years. 



The plant attains a height of five or six feet, with about the 

 same breadth, is far more graceful than the old form of 

 Hydrangea Arborescens. Flowers are borne in large trusses, 

 beautifully formed and of dazzling whiteness, rendering it a 

 plant of peerless beauty. Seems to do best in rather damp or 

 shady location. 



The flowers, when cut, remain in good condition a long time, 

 thus making the plant especially useful for cut flowers. 60c 

 each. 



H. PANICULATA GRANDIFLORA (Bush Shape). This is 

 one of the most valuable hardy shrubs in cultivation. It attains 

 a height of six to eight feet, and is perfectly hardy in all parts 

 of the country. The flowers are white, borne in immense pyra- 

 midal panicles nearly a foot in length. It commences flowering 

 in July and continues until November. This is the finest flow- 

 ering shrub for cemetery planting we know of. 60c each. 



HONEYSUCKLE (Bush). Handsome in flower, showy in 

 fruit, and ornamental in its bluish-green foliage, has every- 

 thing to commend it. As a specimen shrub it assumes the pro- 

 portions of a small tree, and will form an oval, symmetrical 

 bush, covered in early June with its beautiful pink and white 

 flowers, which give way later to pretty reddish berries. Thi3 

 fruit literally covers the shrub, making one wonder whether it 

 is more attractive when in bloom or when bearing its berries. 

 50c each. 



PHILADELPHUS (Syrlnga or Mock Orange). For grouping" 

 with other shrubs, forming large screens or hedges which may 

 not require pruning, or used as single specimen lawn plantg 

 they are desirable. They will bear heavy pruning and quickly 

 resume their free, semi-pendulous, picturesque effect. 50c each. 



SNOWBERRY. Has small pink flowers in May, but the 

 charming green foliage with the beautiful clusters of snow- 

 white berries which hang until late in the winter has made it 

 popular everywhere. Grows about 4 to 5 feet tall. Very 

 hardy. 50c each. 



SNOWBALL. An old-time favorite, large, round balls of 

 little white flowers; just as popular today as ever. Grows six 

 to nine feet tall. Blooms in May or June. Very hardy. 50c each. 



JAPAN SNOWBALL. Pure white floAvers in dense, globular 

 clusters, 4 to 5 inches in diameter, which look like balls of snow. 

 The plant grows 6 feet and over, and the blooms fairly cover the 

 bush. The heavy ribbed foliage of deep, dark green is beautiful 

 always, and in May it makes a splendid setting for the hand- 

 some balls of snow-white flowers, 50c each, 



SPIREA. Few shrubs lend themselves to every situation or 

 condition as well as Spireas, showy, free flowering shrubs of 

 easiest culture and covering a considerable blooming period 

 from spring into summer. They are valuable for garden, lawn 

 and landscape planting, being graceful, compact and hardy, pre- 

 ferring sunny situations, 



S. VAN HOUTTE. The grandest of all the Spireas. It is a 

 beautiful ornament for the lawn at any season, but when in 

 flower it is a complete fountain -of white bloom, the foliage hard- 

 ly showing. Clusters of twenty to thirty flat, white florets 

 make up the racemes, and these clusters are set close along the 

 drooping stems. Perfectly hardy and an early bloomer. 40c 

 each. 



SPIREA ANTHONY WATERER. Its dark crimson flowers, 

 borne in large flat-topped heads, appear in great profusion all 

 summer if cut off as they fade. Of dwarf habit, rarely exceed- 

 ing 3 feet. The leaves at the tips of the new growth are often 

 pink or light yellow. BOc each. 



WEIGELA ROSEA. Rose-colored flowers, trumpet-shaped 

 like the honeysuckle, coming in long, graceful sprays. The best 

 flowering shrub of its season. Grows where others fail FVee 

 from insects and diseases. Grows about 6 feet tall. 50c each. 



CLEMATIS PANICULATA. Flowers rich, creamy white, 

 borne in splendid clusters, completely covering the vine with 

 beautiful, star-shaped blossoms; exceedingly fragrant, the 

 sweetest of all clematis and one of the hardiest and easiest to 

 grow. 50c each. 



WISTERIA. Picturesque climber with great clusters of pale 

 bluish violet, pea-shaped flowers that make a hai'dsome show- 

 ing when a vine has been properly trained over a porch or 

 ?i.rbor. After becoming established, the vine makes an enormoup 

 annual growth. "ROc each.
