SPIRAEA. 



ANTHONY WATERER.— The finest of the Dwarf 

 Spiraeas, and a grand acquisition. It excels all other 

 Spiraeas in brilliancy of color — a purple-crimson — and 

 is the most profuse and persistent bloomer of them 

 all, bearing continuously large, flat clusters of bloom 

 throughout the whole of summer and autumn. 



Spiraea Van Hov.ttti. 



CALLOSA ALBA. — Similar in all respects to the 

 preceding, except in color of flowers which is clear 

 white. 



OPULIFOLIA AUREA. Goldex-leaved Spiraea. 

 —A strong growing variety with abundant massive yel- 

 low foliage which is not affected by the heat of summer. 

 The flowers appearing in June are white. 



PRUNIFOLIA FL. PL. Bridal Wbeath.— An old 

 favorite and as beautiful as it is popular. Of strong 

 growth, and in May and early June there appear along 

 the branches, so thickly as to envelop them, dainty pure 

 white, very double flowers. It remains in flower for a 

 long time and its pretty glossy deep green leaves change 

 to crimson and purple in autumn. 



THUNBERGII. — A charming, low growing shrub. It 

 has slender pendulous branches, densely clothed with 

 small dainty leaves which turn to brilliant colors in au- 

 tumn. In spring it presents a cloud of white blossoms. 



VAN HOUTTEL— The finest and best of all the 

 Spiraeas. Of handsome form with slender and graceful 

 branches which bend to the ground with the weight of 

 bloom. Its pure white flowers are produced in such 

 masses as to entirely cover the bush. It blooms in May 

 and June, and is an attractive and beautiful shrub at all 

 times. (See cut.) 



Strong, 2 and 3 year, each, 20c. 



One each of the six for $1.25. 



SYMPHORICARPUS. 



RACEMOSUS. Sxowberrt.— An old favorite. Has 

 small pink flowers in July and August, which are fol- 

 lowed by great numbers of pure white, wax-like berries, 

 which remain until freezing weather. 



VULGARIS, Indian- Curran-t. Coral Berry — Of 

 low growing and graceful habit with numerous small 

 pink flowers in August and September; followed by 

 bright red berries, literally covering the branches and 

 which remain nearly all winter. 



Strong plants, 2 to 3 feet, each, 23c. 



SYRINGA OR LILAC. 



Villoma Lilac. 



PERSICA. Persian Lelac. A very graceful shrub 

 with slender branches that produce pretty panicles of 

 light purple flowers m great profusion. 2 to 3 feet, each, 

 25c. 



FERSICA ALBA. — A variety of the preceding with 

 pure white flowers. 2 to 3 feet, each, 25c. 



VULGARIS. Plrple Lelac. — The well known and 

 popular Lilac; a large, strong growing, upright shrub, 

 bearing clusters of richly fragrant, pure lilac flowers 

 early in spring. An old fashioned shrub that should 

 be in every garden. 2 to 3 feet, each, 20c. Standard, 

 50 c. 



VULGARIS ALBA. White Lilac. A variety of 

 the above, producing freely large panicles of white^ 

 fragrant flowers. 2 to 3 feet, each, 25c. 



VILLOSA. — A distinct and very valuable species from 

 Japan. Has beautiful foliage that never mildews. It 

 is more dwarf and compact in habit than other Lilacs; 

 has stout branches and flowers much later. Its panicles 

 of deliciously fragrant flowers are true Lilac in bud and 

 silvery rose wL.n expanded. Its large heart-shaped 

 leaves are as fresh and cheerful in color as those of the 

 \\'hite Fringe. 2 to 3 feet, each, 35c. 



JAPONICA. Tree Lilac. Grows to become a small 

 tree, with clear smooth trunk and well branched top. It 

 has large, handsome leaves, and in mid-summer is cov- 

 ered with panicles a foot or more long, of small, white 

 flowers. Very effective, distinct and striking. 3 to 4 

 feet, each, 50c; 6 to 7 feet, each $1.00. 



FRENCH LILACS. 



The newer French Lilacs are marvels of beauty and 

 elegance; so far superior to the older forms of S. 

 vulgaris that but a faint idea of their worth can be 

 given in print— they must be seen to be appreciated. 

 The list is long and I have selected from it six of the 

 best and most widely different, namely, 



CHAS. DIX. — Large panicles of single blue flowers. 



MARIE LEGRAY. — Large panicles of single white 

 flov.-ers; the finest whita Lilac. 



MME. LEMOINE. — Double white flowers; superb. 

 Each, 40c. 



PRES. CARNOT.— Double flowers; hlac, with white 

 markings at center. 



PRES. GREVY.— Fine blue; flowers very large and 

 very double; exceedingly fine. 



SOUV. DE L. SPATH.— Single; flowers and panicles 

 very large, dark, purplish-red; splendid. 



Strong plants, 2 to 3 feet, (except as noted), each, 35c. 



One each of the 12 varieties for $3.50.
