 plish color which remain until frost, almost entirely 

 covering the bush. It is very beautiful and also very 

 curious, its long, feathery fringe-like growth making it

New Crimson Spiraea, Anthony Waterer. By all odds 

 the finest of its class and a grand acquisition of great 

 value. It outshines all Spiraeas in brilliancy of color — 

 a bright crimson — and the most profuse and persistent 

 bloomer of them all, bearing continuously large, flat 

 clusters of lovely bloom throughout the whole of sum- 

 mer and autumn. The plant is of dwarf habit and

 ters of exquisite bloom, beautiful, bright rosy-red in 

 color, all summer and autumn. A splendid plant for

 ft., ea., 25c; 3 for 60c. 



Japan Snowball. V. pli- 1 

 catum. The best of the 

 Viburnums, of purer color 

 and better form than the

 est of flowering shrubs, 

 but difficult to propagate 

 and hence rather scarce. 

 Moderate in growth and 

 compact in form, rich 

 deep green plicated foli- 

 age; large, globular flow- 

 er clusters of the purest 

 white produced all over 

 the bush in great abund- 

 ance. Exceedingly choice;

WEIGELA. 



Variegated-leaved Weigela W. rosea nana varie- 

 gata. A grand shrub of rather dwarf, open habit, 

 and beautiful foliage deeply margined with clear, 

 creamy-white distinctly defined. The foliage stands 

 the sun well and is very showy; altogether it is one of 

 the finest of all dwarf variegated shrubs. During sum- 

 mer it bears beautiful bright pink flowers very profuse- 

 ly. Mail, ea., 12c; 3 for 30c. Express, ea., 20c; 3 for 50c.
