DEUTZIA — " PRIDE OF ROCHESTER. 



(>3 Natural, Size.) 



D. c. var. flore alba pleiio. 



Similar in habit to the preceding, but 

 pure white and double. 



var. "Pride of Roches- 

 ter." A variety raised from Deutzia 

 crenata flore pleno, and producing large 

 double white flowers; the back of the 

 petals being slightly tinged with rose. It 

 excels all of the older sorts in size of 

 flower, length of panicle, profuseness of 

 bloom and vigorous habit; blooms nearly 

 a week earlier than Deutzia crenata flore 

 plena. See cut. 50 cents. 



I>. g-racilis. Slender-branched 

 Deutzia. A charming species of dwarf 

 habit introduced from Japan by Dr. Sie- 

 bold. Flowers pure white. Fme for 

 pot-culture, as it flowers freely in a low 

 temperature in the winter. The first to 

 flower, about the middle of June. 



I>, parviflora. Of dwarf habit, 

 flowers medium size in short racemes; 

 valuable for forcing. 50 cents. 



D. scabra. Rough-leaved Deut- 

 zia. One of the most beautiful, profuse 

 white-flowering shrubs; flowers single. 

 June. 



DIERVILLA. Weig-ela. Weigelie, Ft. 



Another valuable g-enus from Japan, Introduced as late as 1843. Shrubs of erect habit 

 while young, but gradually spreading- and drooping- as they acquire age. G hey produce in 

 June and July superb large trumpet- shaped flowers, of all shades and colors, from pure 

 white to red. In borders and groups of trees they are very effective, and for margins the 

 varieg-ated-leaved varieties are admirably suited, their gay coloi'ed foliage contrasting- finely 

 with the green of other shrubs. They flower after the lilacs in June. ; 



D. arborea grandiflora. A variety of vigorous habit and erect growth; 

 foliage very large; flowers long and tube shaped; of a sulphur white or pale yellow, 

 changing to pale rose. Flowers about two weeks after the others. 



D. Candida. White-flowered Weigela. A valuable new variety. All 

 white varieties heretofore known have been lacking some important characteristic. 

 Hortensis 7uvea, the best and only really white sort, is a poor grower and difficult to 

 propagate. Other so-called white sorts have flesh-colored flowers; so that the 

 introduction of Candida supplies a long felt want. It is of vigorous habit, an erect 

 grower, becoming in time a large sized shrub; flowers pure white and produced in 

 great profusion in June, and the plants continue to bloom through the summer, 

 even until autumn. $1.00. 



D. liortensis iiivea. White-flowered Weigela. Of dwarf spreading 

 habit and slow growth. Flowers pure white, retaining their purity the whole 

 time of flowering; foliage large. A profuse bloomer; difiicult to propagate. 

 $1.00. 



D. liortensis rubra. Flowers deep red when in bud, and nearly white 

 inside when fully open.
