J. T. LOVETT. LITTLE SILVER, N. J. 



DEUTZIA. 



Deiitzia Lernoinei . 

 CRENATA FL, PL. Double Deutzia. — A strong 

 grower and a great bloomer, bearing racemes of hand- 

 some, double white flowers, lightly tinged with pink; 

 late in June. 



GRACILIS. — Of dwarf habit, growing only to about 2 

 to 3 feet, and covered with a mass of beautiful, pure 

 white, bell-shaped flowers; early in June. A popular and 

 charming shrub. 



LEMOINEII.— The finest of all, and one of the best 

 of hardy shrubs. Magnificent broad, dense heads of 

 pure snowy white flowers, and completely covering the 

 bush. A great improvement upon Deutzia gracilis; the 

 flowers being larger and more enduring and the bush a 

 strong grower. (See cut.) 



Strong plants, each, 20c; one of each for 60c. 



FORSYTHIA. 



Golden Bell. 



VIRIDISSIMA. Green-barked Forsythia. — A free 

 flowering shrub of spreading habit and yellowish green 

 bark. The bell-shaped, bright yellow flowers are densely 

 hung upon the branches in early spring, before the 

 leaves appear. 2 to 3 feet, each, 25c. 



HARDY HYDRANGEAS. 



Hydrangea arborescens sterilis. 

 ARBORESCENS STERILIS. Snowball Hydran- 

 gea. — This most valuable new hardy Hydrangea is also 

 known as Hills of Snow and American Everblooming 

 Hydrangea. The blooms are of the largest size and 

 pure snow white, the form of panicles being much like 

 Hydrangea Hortensia. The habit of plant and foliage is 

 elegant and refined and the plant is very hardy. It 

 produces its large panicles very freely and for a long 

 season. An especially valuable feature lies in the fact 

 that it comes into bloom just after the bloom of spring 

 shrubs has faded and continues until late August; ren- 

 dering it of the greatest use for planting in conjunction 

 with the well known H. paniculata grandiflora. (See 

 cut. 



Fine plants, 1 1-2 to 2 feet, each, 30c. 



Strong plants, 2 to 3 feet, each, 50c. 



PANICULATA GRANDIFLORA.— Perhaps no shrub 

 is more frequently met with upon lawns and in door 

 yards than this; and it justly merits its wide popularity. 

 O strong spreading habit with great terminal panicles 

 of pure white flowers in August, that change to a pink- 

 ish hue in September and October. 



Fine plants, 2 to 3 feet, each, 25c. 



Strong plants, 3 to 4 feet, each, 35c. 



Standard or Tree shaped, (single stem and spreading 

 top), each, 50c. 



ITEA VIRGINICA. 



A compact bush of dwarf habit with attractive glossy 

 leaves which turn to a deep, rich red in autumn. In 

 June it bears a profusion of dainty racemes of pure 

 white flowers, having the delightful odor of pond lilies. 

 Strong plants, 1 1-2 to 2 feet, each, 20c.
