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

 JMay. 60 cts. each.

^ and autumn. 60 cts. each.

each. 



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

 balls of pure white flowers are borne in great profusion in May. SI. 00 each. 



- Opulus (//<i;/j 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. 



— Opulus Sterilis {Snowball or Guelder Rose). The popular white Snow- 

 ball, filled with large pendant balls of white flowers in May. 60 cts. each. 



— Rhytidophyllum. A rare variety, particularly attractive on account of 

 its large dark green nearly evergreen foliage, the yellowish white flowers are 

 followed in September by red berries finally turning black. $1.50 each. 



Vitex Agnus Castus (Chaste Tree). A graceful Shrub, growing from 5 to 6 

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

 cts. each. 



— Macrophylla. In general habit similar to V. .Ignus Castus, 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 consider it far superior. 50 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.

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