The Rhododendron is one of the most valuable of 

 our hardy decorative plants. 



They require only a good garden soil, which should 

 be dug at least two feet deep and mixed with some 

 leaf mould or peat ; it is also well to mulch the ground 

 during summer, and protect with leaves or brush dur- 

 ing the first winter. We offer a choice collection of 

 plants from 12 to 24 inches high, bushy and well 

 established, ranging in color from the purest white 

 through all the shades of rose, pink, purple and crimson.

Northern climate with little or no protection, and is also desirable 



for pot culture. It is dwarf, of a low, shrubby growth, with beautiful 



Rhododendrons. trifoliate, glossy green leaves, and abundance of large, white, 



sweet scented blossoms. 25 cts. each; 6 for $1.00.

JAPAN SNOWBALL. 



(Viburnum plicatum.) 



This is one of the most valuable of our hardy shrubs. 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 lone. These balls, as they expand, all face upward, so that a full 



view of their great beauty is always to be had.

Viburnum Plicatum (Japan Snowball). 



Trifoliate Orange. 



ELEAGNUS LONGIPES. 



A new and very desirable, nearly evergreen shrub, holding its leaves until late 

 in winter; the branches are thickly studded with tiny brown dots or scales, giving 

 a rusty appearance, contrasting strikingly with the light hue of the foliage, which 

 is silvered on the under surface with little white scales. The abundant crop 

 of orange colored fruit, dotted with small ferruginous specks, is a very attrac- 

 tive feature during the summer. 25 cts. 



JAPANESE RASPBERRY, OR WINEBERRY. 



This interesting plant belongs to the Raspberry family. The fruit is borne in 

 large clusters, and each berry is at first tightly enveloped by the large calyx, 

 forming a sort of burr, which is also covered with purplish-red hairs so thickly 

 as to present the appearance of moss rose buds. These gradually open and turn 

 back, exposing the fruit in all its beauty. A bush in full fruiting is a decided 

 ornament to the garden. For jelly-making, canning and preserving it is without 

 an equal. Plants, 15 cts. each ; $1.50 per doz. Seed per pkt., 10 cts.
