SAMBUCUS NIGRA AUREA. STYRAX JAPONICA. 



Golden-leaved Elder. Snow Drop Shrub. 



One of the finest of golden-leaved shrubs, 

 and invaluable for grouping to produce con- 

 trasting effects. The foliage is remarkable 

 for retaining the brilliancy of its rich, golden- 

 yellow hue throughout the summer, even 

 when in full exposure to the sun, without 

 burning or scalding. Each 20c; doz. $2.00. 



SPIRAEA. 



Anthony Waterer. — The finest of the Dwarf 

 Spiraeas, and a grand acquisition. It excels 

 all other Spiraeas in brilliancy of color — a 

 bright crimson — and is the most profuse and 

 persistent bloomer of them all; bearing con- 

 tinuously large, flat clusters of bloom 

 throughout the whole of summer and autumn. 



Billardi. An erect growing variety bearing 

 long, dense panicles of pink flowers from 

 June to October. 



Callosa alba. — A charming little shrub, not 

 exceeding two feet, covered with beautiful, 

 pure white flowers in clusters all summer. 



Prunifolia fl. pi. Bridal Wreath. — An old 

 favorite and as beautiful as it is popular. 

 Of strong growth and in May and early June 

 there appear along the branches, so thickly 

 as to envelop them, dainty pure white, very 

 double flowers. It remains in flower for a 

 long time and its pretty glossy deep green 

 leaves change to crimson and purple in 

 autumn. 



Spiraea Van Houttei- 



Thunbergii. — A charming low growing 

 shrub. It has slender pendulous branches, 

 densely clothed with small dainty leaves 

 which turn to brilliant colors in autumn. In 

 spring it presents a cloud of white blossoms. 



Van Houttei. — The finest and best of all the 

 Spiraeas. Of handsome form, with slender 

 and graceful branches which bend to the 

 ground with the weight of bloom. Its pure 

 white flowers are produced in such masses 

 as to entirely cover the bush. It blooms in 

 May and June, and is an attractive and beau- 

 tiful shrub at all times. (See cut). 



Each 20c; doz. $2.00. 



A tall growing shrub, or dwarf tree, with 

 slender spreading branches. In June it is 

 densely clothed with exquisite white fragrant 

 Snow-drop-like pendulous blossoms. Its fo- 

 liage is handsome and it is altogether very 

 lovely. Especially desirable for cemetery 

 planting. Each 25c; doz. $2.50. 



SYMPHORICARPUS. Waxbkkby. 

 Racemosus. Bxowbbrrt. — An old favorite. 

 Has small pink flowers in July and August, 

 which are followed by great numbers of pure 

 white, wax-like berries, which remain until 

 freezing weather. 



Vulgaris. Indian Current. Coral Berrt. — 

 Of low growing and graceful habit with num- 

 erous small pink flowers in August and 

 September; followed by bright red berries, 

 literally covering the branches and which 

 remain nearly all winter. 



Each 20c; doz. $2.00. 



SYRINGA. Lilac. 



Villosa. — The finest of all the Lilacs. It 

 is so charming in foliage, and habit and never 

 mildews. It is a dwarf and more compact 

 grower than other Lilacs; has stout branches 

 and flowers much later. Its panicles of deli- 

 ciously fragrant flowers are true Lilac in bud 

 and silvery rose when expanded. Its large 

 heart-shaped leaves are as fresh and cheer- 

 ful in color as those of the White Fringe. 



Vulgaris. Purple Lilac. — The well known and 

 popular lilac; a large, strong-growing up- 

 right shrub; bearing clusters of richly frag- 

 rant, pure lilac flowers early in spring. A 

 delightful, old-fashioned flower that should 

 be in every garden. 



Vulgaris alba. White Lilac — A variety of 

 the above producing freely large panicles of 

 white fragrant flowers. 



Each 25c; doz. $2.50.
