CHOICE HARDY SHRUBS 



HliMMK 



Pyracantha (Crataegus) Coccinea Lalandi 



(Firethorn or Evergreen Thorn) 



See Color Plate on Opposite Page 



There is no other fruiting evergreen Shrub that is so attractive throughout the year as this fiery Thorn and 

 which will succeed in any fairly sunny position, developing into a shapely plant 6 or more feet high; it may be 

 planted either in connection with other Shrubs or as a single specimen or may be trained with wonderful effect 

 against a wall. Its large trusses of white flowers are followed in summer by an abundance of brilliant orange- 

 scarlet berries, which, remaining on the plants throughout the winter produce a gorgeous effect. Strong pot- 

 grown plants, 15 to 18 inches high, $1.00 each. AJ 



RhodotypUS (White Kerria) 

 Kerrioides. A very ornamental Japanese Shrub of medium size, 



which succeeds well in sun or shade, with pretty foliage and large 



single white flowers the latter part of May. 50 cts. each. 

 RhUS (Sumac) 

 Cotinus (Purple Mist or Smoke Tree). It has been almost im- 

 possible for the past ten years to procure this old favorite Shrub 



but we again have a limited supply of strong bushy plants about 



18 inches high. It is one of the attractive subjects either planted 



as a single specimen or in the mixed border, forming a large Shrub 



which in mid-summer is covered with large clusters of feathered 



flowers giving the appearance of a cloud of smoke or mist. 

 Typhina Laciniata {Cut-leaved Staghom Sumac). The leaves are 



beautifully cut like a delicate Fern and in fall assume the most 



brilliant colors, this combined with its showy clusters of crimson 



fruit makes it a most valuable subject either as a single specimen 



or for mass planting. 

 Strong plants of either of above, 

 60 cts. each. 



Robinia (Rose Acacia) 



Hispida. A most desirable Shrub, 

 producing large loose racemes of 

 beautiful rose-pink flowers in June. 

 75 cts. each. 



Sambucus (Eider) 



Nigra Aurea (Golden Elder). O: 

 strong growth, and one of the best 

 yellow foliage Shrubs; the color is 

 remarkably bright, rich and con- 

 stant, and makes a fine contrast in 

 the shrubbery border. 50 cts. each. 



Symphoricarpos Racemosus 



Double-flowering Syringa or Lilac 



Symphoricarpos 



Chenaulti. This is the choicest of 

 the Snowberries forming naturally a 

 most graceful, shapely plant about 3 

 feet high and 5 feet in diameter with 

 small foliage and dense twiggy 

 branches that in fall bear an abun- 

 dance of white to pink fruits. 50 cts. 

 each. 



m 



Viburnum Opulus Sterilis 



Racemosus (Snowberry). A well-known dwarf Shrub with small pink flowers and 

 large white berries that hang on the plant the greater part of the winter. 50 cts. 

 each. 



Syringa (Liiac) 



Common Purple {Syringa Vulgaris). The old favorite, and one of the best. 

 50 cts. each. 



Common White (S. Vulgaris alba). Flowers white, fragrant, beautiful. 50 cts. 

 each. 



Charles X. A strong, rapid growing variety, with large, shining leaves. Trusses 

 rather loose; large, reddish purple.

 flowers creamy white, produced in great panicles a month later than other sorts. 



Josikaea (Hungarian Lilac). A distinct species of stout, erect growth with dark, 

 shining leaves and purple flowers, which are produced late in June. 



Mme. Marie Lemoine. The finest double white Lilac yet introduced. The in- 

 dividual flowers, which resemble miniature Tuberoses, as well as the truss, are of 

 immense size, deliciously scented; fine for cutting. 



President Grevy. Magnificent panicles of large double purplish-blue flowers. 



William Robinson. Very double. Buds crimson-pink opening to deep violet- 

 mauve.
