THE LOVETT COMPANY, 



HYDRANGEA PANICULATA 

 GRANDIFLORA. 



One of the finest hardy shrubs ever introduced, 

 and in size and magnificence of bloom not ex- 

 celled by any shrub in cultivation. The bush 

 in time attains a large size, growing in beauty 

 year by year. It is in the full glory of bloom 

 from August until the middle or last of Octo- 

 ber, when every branch is crowned with an im- 

 mense panicle of fleecy, pure white flowers, 

 changing later to a pinkish hue, sometimes a 

 foot long and nearly as broad at the base, pre- 

 senting an aspect of majestic grandeur that 

 absolutely defies description. Entirely hardy, 

 very free-growing, a profuse bloomer, and 

 thrives in all soils. 2 yrs. old, ea., 15c; 3 for 

 35c; doz., $1.25. 3 yrs old, ea., 20c; 3 for 50c; 

 doz., $1.50.

LITTLE SILVER, N. /.

Not so well known 

 as it should be, but 

 there are few hardy 

 shrubs more attract- 

 ive or beautiful when 

 in bloom. Of the eas- 

 iest culture and suc- 

 ceed s everywhere . 

 The foliage is large, smooth, deep green and very hand- 

 some; during the whole of summer and autiunn it is lit- 

 erally buried under masses of glittering golden yellow 

 flowers, more than two inches in diameter, and of a 

 peculiar shining satiny texture, with an odd and beauti- 

 ful mossy centre. Ea., 15c, 3 for 35c; doz., $1.35. 



JAPAN JUDAS. 



pecially valued for its early and profuse bloom. The 

 flowers appear early in spring before the leaves, and are 

 clustered along the branches in such profusion that the 

 bush is literally covered wiih its beautiful deep rosy- 

 crimson flowers, unusually striking and t^ttractive. 

 The foliage also aids in rendering the bush beautiful all 

 summer, being heart-shaped, dense, glossy and deep 

 green. Certainly one of the choicest of the early 

 flowering shrubs. 



GOLDEN FLEECE. 



Cercis Japonica. A charming shrub from Japan es-

 the fact of its unusual hardiness give to it exceedingly 

 great value; for unlike other Genistas it for-msa large 

 shrub and is perfectly hardy, coming from northern

 zero unharmed. It is an exquisite thing when in bloom 

 and very attractive at all times. In J une it is literally 

 clothed with innumerable bright yellow Sweet-Pea 

 shaped blossoms, presenting a perfect mass of such in- 

 tense pure golden yellow as to well merit the name of 

 Golden Fleece. Of large, bushy form, with numerous 

 side limbs, all of which are densely studded with long, 

 tough, angular, rush-like branches of the most brilliant 

 and cheerful green imaginable, which color theyretam
