Japan Snowball. 



JAPAX SNOWBALI.. 



(Viburnum plicatum.) 



A new variety of Snowball from Japan. Growth upright 

 and compact. Foliage olive green through summer, but 

 towards fall it turns much darker and remains on the plant for 

 some time after the first frosts. Flowers, though hardly as 

 large as the old variety, are much more numerous. The leaves 

 are in pairs along the stem, and from the base of each leaf a ball 

 of flowers appears. There are often as many as ten pairs of 

 these, or twenty balls, on a branch 18 inches long. These balls, 

 as they expand, all face upward, so that a full view of their 

 great beauty is always to be had.

 desirable for pot culture. In the parks of both New York and 

 Philadelphia it is growing luxuriantly, and blooming and fruit- 

 ing profusely. It is dwarf, of a low, shrubby growth, with 

 beautiful trifoliate, glossy green leaves, and abundance of 

 large, white, sweet scented blossoms, larger and finer than any 

 other variety of Orange blossoms and borne almost continually. 

 The fruit is small, bright orange red in color, having a peculiar, 

 pleasant flavor. The fine appearance of the plant, with its 

 constant habit of blooming and showy fruit, 

 combine to make a plant of peculiar value and 

 beauty. 25 cts. each; 6 for $1.00;

 mulch the ground during summer, and protect 

 with leaves or brush during the first winter. We

 inches high, bushy and well established, ranging 

 in color from the purest white through all the
