 Tamarix Africana (Tamarisk). Strong, slender, tall-growing irregular Shrubs, with feathery foliage and small, 



delicate flowers, borne profusely on gracefully-bending branches. These pink flowers are very attractive during 

 May. 60 cts. each.

 when the shrubbery border is comparatively bare of flowers. 60 cts. each. 



— Indica. Very strong-growing, with feathery plumes of pale pink flowers in late sum- 

 mer and autumn. 60 cts. each. 



Viburnum Plicatum (Japan Snowball). One of the choicest hardy Shrubs; the per- 

 fect balls of pure white flowers are borne in great profusion in May. $1.00 each. 



— Opulus (High Bush Cranberry) . The white flowers in June are followed in Autumn by 

 bright scarlet berries, which are very attractive until very late in winter. 60 cts. each.

 large pendant balls of white flowers in May. 60 cts. each.

 dark green nearly evergreen foliage, the yellowish white flowers are followed in Septem- 

 ber by red berries finally turning black. $1.00 each.

 turning to a gorgeous crimson in the Fall. White flowers in clusters line the

 feet high, with dense spikes of lilac-colored flowers late in summer. 60 cts. 

 each. 



— Macrophylla. In general habit similar to V. Agnus Caslus, but much 

 stronger in all its parts, the foliage being larger while the trusses of lavender- 

 blue flowers are fully double the size. It blooms from July to September, 

 and is likely to become as popular as the Butterfly Shrub, to which we con- 

 sider it far superior. 60 cts. each. 



Weigelia Rosea. Soft rosy carmine. 60 cts. each. 



— Rosea Foliis Purpureis. This is entirely distinct and will prove a 

 welcome addition to the shrub border, not on account of its light pink flowers 

 but for its foliage effect, its leaves being of a rich bronzy purple. 60 cts. each 



— Rosea Nana Variegata. Variegated green, yellow and pink leaves; 

 very efiective and useful; flowers delicate rose. 60 cts. each.
