 draiigeu). This magnificent, perfectly hardy American Shrub 

 has snow-white blossoms of large size. One of its most 

 valuable characteristics is its coming into bloom just after the

 able acquisition in any garden. Spring flowering plants, 35 

 cts. each.

 and most popular summer-flowering Shrub in cultivation. The

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

 dition for weeks. Extra fine bush plants, 50 cts. each;
