Deutzia Lemoinei 



Hydrangea Arborescens Qrandiflora {Snow-ball Hy- 

 drangea). This magnificent, perfectly hardy American Shrub 

 has snow-white blossoms of largest size. One of its most valu- 

 able characteristics is its coming into bloom just after the passing 

 of all the early Spring-blooming shrubs, flowering from early 

 June until late July, makes it valuable in any garden. 50 cts. 

 each. 



— Paniculata Grandiflora. Without doubt the best known 

 and most popular summer-flowering Shrub in cultivation. The 

 flowers, which are borne in dense pyramidal panicles a foot 

 long in the greatest profusion, are white when they first open, 

 but gradually change to rose color, and remain in good condi- 

 tion for weeks. We offer the following sizes: 



Fine bush plants, 50 cts. each; |5.00 per doz.; $30.00 per 100. 



Standard or tree-shaped plants, which make beautiful specimens 

 for the lawn or garden, $1.00 each. 



Hypericum Patulum Henryi. A new hardy St. John's 

 Wort of shrubby habit, growing 2J to 4 feet high and produc- 

 ing masses of clear yellow flowers during July and August. A 

 most desirable shrub. 50 cts. each. 



Ligustrum Ovalifolium Aureum {Golden-leaved Privet). 

 A beautiful golden variegated form and very effective for asso- 

 ciating with other dwarf shrubs. 35 cts. each. 



Lonicera Tatarica (Tartarian Honey stickle). Pink flowers, 

 contrasting beautifully with the foliage; blooms in June. 50 

 cts. each. 



— Virginalis alba. A creamy-white colored variety of the 

 above, flowering during May and June. 50 cts. each. 



Corchorus, or Kerria Japonica fl. pi. ( Globe-flower). A 

 graceful Shrub of medium height, with double yellow flowers 

 from early June to October. 50 cts. each. 



Desmodium Penduliflorum. A Shrub which dies to the 

 ground in winter, but comes up vigorously in spring, throwing 

 up shoots 3 to 4 feet high, which bear during September, 

 when few Shrubs are in bloom, attractive sprays of bright 

 rose-colored pea-shaped flowers. 50 cts. each. 



Deutzias. Well-known profuse flowering Shrubs, blooming in 

 spring or early summer. Succeed in any sunny position. 



— Qracilis. A favorite dwarf bush, covered with spikes of pure white 

 flowers ia early summer. 50 cts. each. 



— Lemoinei. Without doubt one of the very best dwarf hardy Shrubs; 

 flowers very large and produced in cone-shaped heads of purest white, 

 which open out very full. (See cut.) 50 cts. each. 



Enkianthus Japonicus. An attractive Japanese Shrub, hardy as 

 far north as Philadelphia; particularly attractive in the autumn, when 

 its leaves turn a brilliant orange, more or less marked with red, its 

 black fruit or berries at this time forming a strong contrast. In early 

 spring it bears numerous umbels of pure white Andromeda-like 

 flowers. $1.00 each. 



Forsythia Suspensa (Weeping Golden Bell). A tall Shrub of 

 willowy-growth, the branches gracefully arching, covered with 

 golden-yellow bells in early spring. 50 cts. each. 



— Viridissima ( Golden Bell). Strong erect habit; bright yellow 

 bell-like flowers in early spring. 50 cts. each. 



Genista Andreana, Daisy Hill. A hybrid variety of the Scotch or 

 Rock Broom, with very large pale yellow flowers with rosy reflex, the 

 wings haviiig a large spot of garnet-red. Requires the protection of 

 a cold frame in winter. 30 cts. each. 



— Andreana, Firefly. A variety with dark garnet wings, mar- 

 gined with yellow. Standards suffused with red, calyx purple. 30 

 cts. each. 



Note. — All of the Hardy Shrubs ofi"ered in this catalogue are pot- 

 grown, and can be transplanted any time this summer with perfect 

 safety.
