Philadelphus Coronarius 



Japanese Maples 



Osmanthus Delavayi. A valuable new evergreen shrub in- 

 troduced from Yunnan where it grows at an altitude of 9000 

 feet, therefore perfectly hardy. The foliage is small of a deep 

 green color; the firagrant, pure white tubular flowers are borne 

 in terminal clusters at the end of the branches in very early 

 spring. There being so few dependably hardy evergreen 

 shrubs, this will prove a desirable acquisition. $1.25 each.

 spiny toothed, shining leaves; thrives best in a partially- 

 shaded, protected position. 50 cts. each.
