FOR SUMMER PLANTING

Abelia. 



Chlnensls Qrandlflora. A choice small Shrub of (jraceful habit, 

 producinsr throuKh the entire summer and fall months white 

 tinted lilac heather-like flowers in such abundance as to com- 

 pletely cover the plant. 30 cts. each; $3.00 per doz. 



WilV wait until late in the fall or possibly until next 

 spring to plant shrubbery when you can plant our 

 pot-grown Shrubs at any time during the summer, 

 thereby gaining almost a full season's time, the plants being 

 ready to give a satisfactory account of themselves next summer, 

 doing nearly as well as if planted last spring, and failure being 

 almost out of the question if only the slightest regards are paid 

 to their requirements. 



We have now in pots in good condition a line of the more 

 popular sorts for this purpose. You may have an incomplete 

 spot in your border or perhaps some of your spring plantings 

 have failed. If so, you cannot go wrong in planting some of 

 these pot-grown plants at the present time instead of losing a 

 full-season's growth in waiting for dormant, field-grown plants 

 late in fall or spring.
