Blood-leaved Japan 

 Maple. Acer poly- 



MORPHUM SANGUIN- 

 EUS!. "We know of 

 nothing among 

 hardy trees or shrubs 

 so charming and ele- 

 gant as the Japan 

 Maples, with their 

 masses of lace-like, 

 highly colored foli- 

 age and graceful re- 

 fined habit. Their 

 numerous slender 

 branches are produc- 

 ed in a dense grown 

 shrub of good size 

 and are clothed 

 through the summer 

 with a dense growth 

 of foliage. The leaves 

 of the blood-leaved 

 variety are of the 

 form shown in the 

 cut and are of the 

 most brilliant crim- 

 son and carmine all 

 blood-leaved japan maple, summer, changing to 

 bronzy red in autumn. Never before have we been 

 able to offer good plants of it at less than 75c. to SI. 00 

 each. We are now enabled to furnish bushy well 

 formed specimens \% to 2 ft. high as follows: Ea., 40c; 

 3r'for$1.00 (much too large to mail). 



Golden-leaved Japan Maple. A. Japonicum aureum. 

 The foliage of this is large and palmate in form, pro- 

 duced in great masses, of the richest golden color im- 

 aginable and is translucent like amber. It is very 

 dwarf in habit and extremely hardy. Especially valu- 

 able for cemetery planting. Bushy, well formed plants, 

 ea., 60c; 3 for 81.50 [too large for mailing). 



JAPAN ROSE. 



Rosa rugosa. This superb shrub is not exceeded in 

 beauty by any we know. It has an abundance of dark 

 green, glossy foliage of great richness and beauty, cur- 

 iously wrinkled, and grows erectly to a height of from 

 four to five feet. It bears in great profusion, all sum- 

 mer, large single flowers, of bright rosy-crimson, en- 

 hanced in beauty by numerous yellow stamens, followed 

 by bright crimson fruit, nearly two inches in diameter, 

 borne in large clusters. It is an exceedingly ornamen- 

 tal shrub and we can hardly say too much in praise of 

 it. It succeeds everywhere and is one of the few shrubs 

 which thrive on the sea coast in full exposure to salt air.

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. It should have a pro min ent 

 place in every garden, not only because it is 

 such a glorious shrub, but for its flowers ap- 

 pearing at a time when few others are to be 

 found. Mail, 2 yrs., ea., 15c; 3 for 35c. Ex- 

 press, 3 yrs., ea., 20c; 3 for 50c. Extra strong,

HARDY ORANGE. 



{/Kg 



Citrus trifoliata. A beautif ul shrub densely clothed 

 with rich, dark green foliage and bearing large, fra- 

 grant blossoms and true oranges. This is the wonder 

 of it, for it is a true orange and yet entirely hardy. 

 As a hedge plant it stands forth "pre-eminently, and 

 when better known will surely be more largely used 

 for this purpose than any other. Its advantages as a 

 hedge plant are its natural, dense habit of growth and 

 the abundance of its sharp thorns, its general adapta- 

 bility to all soils, perfect hardiness, and dwarf habit.
