SPIIL2&AS. 



NEW CRIMSON SPIR/EA ANTHONY WATERER. By all odds 

 the finest of the Dwarf Spins as, and a grand acquisition. It 

 outshines all Spiraeas in brilliancy of color— a bright crimson 

 — and is the most profuse and persistent bloomer of them all ; 

 bearing" continuously large, flat clusters of lovely bloom 

 throughout the whole of summer and autumn. The plant is 

 of dwarf habit, and dense growth, comes into bloom very 

 early and when not more than fifteen inches high. See illus- 

 tration. Mail, ea., 15c; doz., SI. 50. Express, ea., 25c. 



SPIR/EA VAN HOUTTEI. A beautiful variety-perhaps the 

 finest of them all. It is of handsome form and blooms pro- 

 fusely, even when small. Its habit is drooping, with pure 

 Tvhite flowers in great clusters covering the entire bush w T ith 

 a. mass of snowy whiteness. Grows from four to five feet high, 

 and flowers in early summer. Mail, ea., 15c. Express, ea., 

 .25c., 3 for 60c. 



GOLDEN-HEAVED SAMBUCUS. 



SAMBUCUS NIGRA AUREA. 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 burning or scalding 

 in the least. It is of free, rapid growth, and an occasional 

 pinching" back throughout the summer will keep it dwarf 

 and in fine foliage. Mail, ea., 15c. Express, 2,5c, 3 for 60c. 



INDIAN CURRANT. 



SYMPHORICARPUS VULGARIS, An attractive shrub of pen- 

 dulus habit, with abundant small pinkish flowers in masses 

 during August and September, followed by dark, reddish- 

 purple berries, literally covering the branches, and which 

 remain nearly all winter. Exceedingly ornamental and very 

 hardy. Mail, ea., 15c. Express, 20c., 3 for 50c. 



STYRAX JAPONICA— Snowflake. 



This handsome shrub 

 should be better known. 

 Its horizontal lateral 

 branches give it the ap- 

 pearance of a miniature 

 tree, even when young, 

 and its round, smooth 

 leaves and light-colored 

 bark impart to it an 

 unusually pleasing ap- 

 pearance. The flowers 

 are pure silvery-white, 

 hanging on long stems, 

 and appearing like 

 snow-drops. It is ex- 

 ceedingly free-flower- 

 ing, coming into bloom 

 in June, and the whole 

 effect of the shrub is 

 decidedly picturesque 

 and beautiful. Ex- 

 press, ea., 25c.

nn,Acs.

SNOWBAI.lv— Viburnum. 



COMMON SNOWBALL (V. opulus sterilis). A superb, old- 

 fashioned shrub, popular and much admired. Of large size 

 and spreading habit, bearing in June large globular clusters 

 of pure white flowers resembling immense snowballs . Mail, 

 ea., 15c. Express, ea., 25c. 



JAPAN SNOWBALL {V. plicatum). The best of the Vibur- 

 nums, of purer color and 

 better form than the above 

 and one of the finest of 

 flowering shrubs, but diffi- 

 cult to propagate and 

 hence rather scarce. Mod- 

 erate in growth and com- 

 pact in form, rich deep 

 green plicate foliage ; large 

 globular flower clusters of 

 the purest white produced 

 all over the bush in great 

 abundance. Exceedingly 

 choice; its fine flowers are 

 very beautiful, and its 

 handsome, plicate foliage 

 makes it a lovely object at 

 all times. Mail, ea., 15c. 

 Express, 25c. 



WEIGELA. 



WEIGELA AMABILIS, A handsome shrub and quite distinct. 

 Large and spreading in habit with large and rather coarse 

 foliage; flowers bright pink, appearing in June and again in 

 the autumn. Mail, ea., 15c. Express, ea., 25c., 3 for 60c. 



W. rosea nana -variegata).

 flowers very 

 profusely. Mail,

 press, ea., 25c, 

 3 for 60c. 



York Co., Nebraska, May 2b, 190U. 

 Received order 8986 in good shape and am more than 

 pleased with the plants. The clematis is as good as the one 

 I gave 75c for two years ago. I think I will have a large 

 order for the Memorial rose next spring as all are watching 

 my success this summer. My roses are larger and better for 

 the monev than I expected, for which accept thanks.
