 handsome flowering shrub in- 

 troduced from Mongolia. It 

 attains a height of 5 to 6 feet, 

 branching from close to the 

 ground and spreading out 

 widely in all directions. The 

 flowers are of a deep violet 

 red, with a white and yellow 

 spot at the base of petals; 

 borne in racemes 12 to 16 

 inches long and shaped like 

 pea blossoms, from wliich it 

 has been given the name 

 "Flowering Pea Bnsh.'' It 

 is exceedingly floriferous, 

 being completely covered with 

 flowers, and is really one of 

 the very finest plants in our 

 catalogue. It is of very ea«y cultivation, and 

 its exceeding hardiness will make it a most 

 welcome acquisition to gardens in the severe 

 climate of the Northern United States and 

 Canada, where many other fine gnrden 

 plants do not withstand the winters. Price, 

 20c. each ; 3 for 50c.

 ing shrub known. The bushes completely 

 covered with beautiful white and yellow 

 flowers. Plants six inches high will bloom 

 profusely. Will add beauty to the most mag- 

 nificent of homes.

 translation of the botanical name Xanthoceras, 

 and alludes to the yellow horn-like glands or 

 nectaries between the petals. It is a shrub or 

 small tree, reaching a height of 8 to 10 feet, 

 having handsome light green foliage, resem- 

 bling that of the Mountain -Ash. The flowers

 at base, and are disposed in racemes about 8 

 inches long. The flowers are so freely pro- 

 duced as to render the plant a perfect mass of 

 bloom and remain in iniinipaired beauty for 

 a long time. Price, 20c. each ; 3 for 50c.
