Deciduous shrubs. 



i49 



Japan Azalea. One of the finest and most showy of all hardy shrubs. Makes a compact and symmetrical 

 growth and is covered in spring with immense blooms, larger and more brilliant and perfect than those of Ghent 

 Azaleas, and varying in color from the most intense rosy-crimson through all shades of orange and red to the 

 palest lemon-yellow, and remain perfect for a long time. Nothing is better for lawn planting; no other shrubs 

 produce such delightful effects of gorgeous color. {See illustration). Ea., 30c; 2 for 50c. 



GOLDEN LEAVED ELDER. BERBERRY. 



One of the finest of golden-leaved shrubs and invalu- Japanese Berberry {B. Thunbergi). A dwarf and 

 able for grouping to produce contrasting effects. The beautiful variety, regarded by many as the best of the 



foliage is remarkable for retaining the brilliancy of its 

 rich, golden-yellow hue throughout the sununer, 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. The great value of this 

 grand shrub has not been properly appreciated in the 

 past, but it is beginning to take its proper place at the 

 head of ornamental-foliaged shrubs. Ea., 20c; 3 for 50c. 



EXOCHORDA GRANDIFLORA. 



Pearl Bush. 



A strong vigorous-grow- 

 ing shrub reaching a height 

 of six or eight feet, perfectly 

 hardy, needing no care or 

 protection in winter. In 

 early spring it blooms with 

 prodical profusion, bearing 

 large pure snow-white star- 

 shaped fiowers on long 

 slender branches. Rare 

 and graceful. Ea., 20c; 3 

 for 50c, 



HONEYSUCKLE. Lonicera. 



Frag^rant Bush Honeysuckle. {L. fragrantissima). A 

 delightful shrub of strong growth and spreading habit, 

 a free bloomer and of easy culture in any good soil, 

 possessing all the charms of the popular Honeysuckle in 

 a bush form. Its beautiful flowers, which are produced 

 early, before the new leaves appear, are of a pinkish- 

 white color, very abundant and exquisitely sweeter and 

 more powerful in fragrance than violets; the leaves are 

 oval, deep green, glossy, and adhere almost until spring. 

 Ea., 20c; 3 for 50c; doz., $1.50. 



genus. It is of low, compact growth and a somewhat 

 weeping habit. The leaves are small and of a very 

 rich, glossy dark green, changing to most intense bril- 

 liant crimson in the autmnn. Flowers yellow produced 

 in pendulous racemes. In autumn the branches are 

 thickly studded with conspicuous crimson berries, which 

 remain far into the winter. Splendid for lawn shrub- 

 bery and the best of all for hedges. Ea., 20c; 3 for 

 50c; doz., $1.50. 



European Berberry. A most desirable shrub, bloom- 

 ing in May and June. Flowers yellow, in drooping ra- 

 cemes, followed later by bright scarlet, edible berries, 

 very fine for preserving, cooking, etc. Very orna- 

 mental in the fall and winter and excellent for hedges. 

 Ea., 20c; 3 for 50c; doz., $1.50. 



Purple-leaved Berberry. A most distinct and valua- 

 ble shrub, unrivaled for producing color effects in 

 groups. Makes a fine companion for B. Thunbergii. 

 Grows about five feet high and has a graceful, spread- 

 ing habit. The foliage is abundant and always clean 

 and neat, of a deep, rich purple throughout the entire 

 season. Always a beautiful and pleasing shrub. In 

 the fall it is loaded with bright crimson fruit of the 

 same character as the common variety. Effective as a 

 single plant or in groups and makes a singularly at- 

 tractive hedge. Ea., 20c; 3 for 50c; 



One each of the three Berberries for 50c,
