 flowering shi'ubs for ornamental planting. It is of a 

 neat, compact habit and of vigorous and healthy- 

 growth; attains a height of two to thi'ee feet and pro- 

 duces graceful sprays of tubular, white, waxy blooms,

 color. They are quite dou- 

 ble and are freely produced 

 in the spring and thi'ough- 

 out the summer. Should 

 never be omitted in plant- 

 ing even the smallest space,

 and light bark give 

 it an imusual and re- 

 markably pictur- 

 esque appearance.

 tilings recently brought to notice from Japan. En- 

 tirely hardy and of easy culture. Ea., 20c; 3 for 50c.
