 orous-growing shrub, reach- 

 ing a height of six or eight 

 feet, perfectly hardy, need- 

 ing no care or protection in 

 winter. In early spring it 

 blooms with prodigal profu-

 es, with exquisitely beauti- 

 ful effect. Foliage of a soft

 ual specimens to display its

GOLDEN FLEECE. 



This beautiful new shrub was introduced by us from 

 Japan and is a magnificent acquisition. It is of the 

 greatest value, for, unlike other Genistas, it forms a 

 large shrub and is perfectly hardy, having endured re- 

 peatedly a temperature of zero unharmed. It is an 

 exquisite thing when in bloom and very attractive at 

 all times. In June it is literally clothed with innumer- 

 able bright yellow Sweet- Pea shaped blossoms, pre- 

 senting a perfect mass of such intense pure golden yel- 

 low as to well merit the name of Golden Fleece. Of 

 large, bushy form, with numerous side limbs, all of 

 which are densely studded with Ions:, tough, angular, 

 rush-like branches of the most brilliant and cheerful 

 green imaginable, which color they retain throughout 

 the year. Mail, ea.. 15c; 3 for 40c. Express, ea., 25c; 

 3 for 60c. 



EUONYMUS. 



Euonymus radicans variegatus. Among shrubs of its 

 class none are more beautiful than this charming little 

 evergreen, with its small, myrtle-like, glossy-green 

 foliage, finely variegated and broadly margined with 

 creamy-white, tinged here and there with rosy -purple. 

 Its habit is decidedly trailing or creeping, although it 

 may be readily grown in shrub form. Valuable for 

 massing, for rock work, and for borders, and is as hardy 

 as an oak. Express, ea., 20c; 3 for 50c. 



GOLDEN SAMBUCUS. 



Sambucus nigra aurea. Golden Elder. One of the 

 finest of golden-leaved shrubs and invaluable for 

 grouping to produce contrasting effects. The foliage is 

 remarkable for retaining the brilliancy of its rich, 

 golden-yellow hue throughout the summer, even when 

 in full exposure to the sun, without burn or scald in 

 the least. It is of free, rapid growth, and Occasional 

 pinching back throughout the summer will keep it 

 dwarf and in fine foliage. (See illustration above). 

 Mail, ea., 15c; 3 for 35c. Express, ea., 20c; 3 for 50c. 



PURPLE-LEAVED PLUM. 



Prunus Pissardi. In no other hardy shrub do we 

 have such richness and depth of color, which is of clear, 

 rich purple throughout, from the time it is put forth in 

 May until it falls m late autumn. Of sturdy, upright 

 habit, the entire shrub is covered in early spring with a 

 drift of star-like, pure white flowers. Our plants are 

 grown upon their own roots (not budded upon other 

 stock in the usual way), and are vastly superior on this 

 account. (See illustration above). Express, ea., 15c; 

 3 for 35c. 3 to 4 ft., ea., 25c; 3 for 60c. 



JAPAN JUDAS. 



Cercis Japonica. One of the choicest of the early- 

 flowering shrubs, with dense, glossy, heart-shaped foli- 

 age. The flowers appear early in spring before the 

 leaves, and are clustered along the branches in such 

 profusion that the bush is literally covered with its 

 beautiful deep rosy-crimson flowers. Express^ ea., 20c; 

 3 for 50c. 2 to 3 ft., ea., 30c; 3 for 75c.
