D. penduliflorum. E. A low growing shrub with rose-colored flowers in September. Dies to the 

 ground in winter. 50c. 



DEUTZIA. Deutzia 



We are indebted to Japan for this valuable genus of plants. Their hardihood, fine habit, luxuriant foliage, and pro- 

 fusion of attractive flowers, render them among the most beautiful and deservedly the most popular of flowering shrubs at 

 the present time. The flowers are produced the latter part of June in racemes four to six inches long. 



D. crenata var. flore pleno. DorsLE-FLowERED Deutzia. D. Flowers double white, tinged with 

 rose. One of the most desirable flowering shrubs in cultivation. 35c. 



D. c. var. flore alba pleno. Doible White-flowered Deutzia. D. Similar in habit to the preced- 

 ing, but pure white and double. 35c. 



D. c. var. Pride of Rochester. D. A variety raised by us and producing large double white flow- 

 ers ; the back of the petals being slightly tinted with rose. It excels all the older sorts in size of 

 flower, length of panicle, profuseness of bloom and vigorous habit ; blooms nearly a week earlier 

 than Deutzia Crenata fiore pleno. 35c. 



D. gracilis. Si.exder-braxched Deutzia. E. A charming species of dwarf habit, introduced from 

 Japan by Dr. Siebold. Flowers pure white. Fine for pot culture, as it flowers freely in a low 

 temperature in the winter. The first to flower, about the middle of June. 35c. 



D. hybrida Lemoineii. D. A hybrid obtained by crossing the well-known Deutzia gracilis with 

 ' Deutzia parriflora. Flowers pure white, borne on stout branches, which are of upright growth. 

 Habit dwarf and free-flowering. A decided acquisition. 35c. 



D. Lemoineii Compacta. E. A variety much more dwarf than Lemoineii; flowers purest white and 

 produced in such profusion as to form a mass of bloom. 35c. 



D. parviflora. D. A stout shrub with upright stems covered in early June with creamy white flowers, 

 prettily arranged in large corymbs. One of the most beautiful of all the Deutzias. 5()c. 



D. scabra. D. Flowers bell-shaped, in small bunches; foliage oval, very rough underneath ; dwarf 

 habit. 35c. 



DIERVILLA. Weigela 



Another valuable genus from Japan. Shrubs of erect habit while young, but gradually spreading and drooping as they 

 acquire age. They produce in June and July superb large, trumpet-sliaped flowers of all shades and colors, from pure 

 white to red. In borders and groups of trees they are very etfective, and for margins the variegated-leaved varieties are 

 admirably suited, their gay-colored foliage contrasting finely with the green of other shrubs. They flower after the Lilacs 

 in June. 



D. Candida. White-flowered Weigela. D. Of vigorous habit, an erect grower, becoming in time 

 a large sized shrub; flowers pure white and produced in great profusion in June, and the plants 

 continue to bloom through the summer, even until autumn. A valuable variety. 35c. 



D. hortensis A. Carriere. D. Bright rose; a choice sort. One of the best. 50c.

 clear shade. 35c.

compact growth; blossoms in June. 35c. 



var. Desboisii. D. A beautiful variety, with deep, rose-colored flowers, resembling rosea, but 

 flowers much darker. One of the best. 35c. 



var. nana foliis variegatis. Variegated-leaved Dwarf Weigela. E. Of dwarf habit, 

 and possessing clearly defined, silvery variegated leaves ; flowers nearly white. It stands the sun 

 well, and is one of the best dwarf variegated-leaved shrubs. 35c. 



var. Sieboldi alba marginata. D. Of upright habit. When the leaves are young the variega- 

 tion is yellow; when they mature it becomes silvery white; flowers rose-colored. A splendid 

 variegated-leaved shrub. 35c. 



EL^AGNUS. Oleaster 



E. argentea. Silver-leaved Oleaster. D. A native species of erect growth and beautiful silvery 



foliage. Flowers small, yellow. July and August. 50c. 

 E. longipes. Japax Oleaster. D. From Japan. In July the plant is covered with bright red ber- 

 ries of large size and edible, the flavor being pungent and agreeable. Laden with fruit the bush 

 is highly ornamental, and the fact that the leaves remain fresh till late in the autumn gives it ad- 

 ditional value for garden decoration. 50c.
