SALISBURIA (Ginkgo). 



AIHAMIFOLIA ^,Bliub,!). Maufn Hair Tree.— Of 

 stately habit, growing as erect as a church steeple, with 

 spreading branches and with peculiar leaves resembling 

 those of the Maiden Hair Fern, though, of course, much 

 larger. The leaves are of silvery green in summer and 

 turn to bright golden j'ellow in autumn. Never is in- 

 fested with insects, but is always a clean and elegant 

 tree. 6 to 8 feet, each, 75c. 



SAMBUCUS Elder. 



NIGRA Al'REA. Golden-le.^ved Elder. — One of the 

 finest of golden-leaved shrubs, and invaluable for group- 

 ing to produce contrasting effects. The foliage is remark- 

 able for retaining the brilliancy of its rich, golden-yellow 

 hue throughout the summer without burning or scalding 

 even when in full exposure to the sun. Strong plants, 

 2 to 3 feet, each, 25c; doz.. S2.50. 



STYRAX JAPONICA. 



DRuF 



SPIRAEA. 



spiraea Van Houttei. 



AMHONY WATERER.— The fine 

 raeas, and a grand acquisition. 



of the Dwarf Spi- 

 lt excels all other 

 Spiraeas in brilliancy of color — a purple-crimson — and is 

 the most profuse and persistent bloomer of them all; 

 bearing continuously large, flat clusters of bloom through- 

 out the whole of summer and autumn. 



6ILLABDI. — Of erect habit and producing long, dense 

 panicles of rosy-pink flowers from Tune until October. 



CALLOSA ALBA. — Similar in habit and make-up to A. 

 Waterer, but with clear white flowers in dense heads. 



OPrLIFOLTA AFREA. Goldex-le.aved Spiraea.— A 

 strong growing variety with abundant, massive yellow 

 foliage which is not affected by the heat of summer. The 

 flowers are white and appear in Tune. 



PROIFOLIA FL. PL. Bridal Wreath.— An old favor- 

 ite and as beautiful as it is popular. Of strong growth, 

 and in May and early June there appear along the 

 branches (so thickly as to envelope them) dainty pure 

 white, very double flowers. It remains in flower for a 

 long time and its pretty glossy deep green leaves change 

 to crimson and purple in autumn. 



TAN HOrXTET.- The finest and best of all the Spiraeas. 

 Of handsome form with slender and graceful branches, 

 which bend to the ground with the weight of bloom. Its 

 pure white flowers are produced in such masses as to 

 entirely cover the bush. It blooms in May and June, and 

 is an attractive and beautiful shrub at all times. (See 

 cut.) 



Strong, 2 and 3 year, each. 20c; doz., $2,00. 



HRUB. 



A very beautiful and 

 valuable, tall growing 

 shrub, or dwarf tree, 

 with slender spreading 

 branches. In June it 

 is densely clothed with 

 exquisite white, fra- 

 grant snow drop-like 

 pendulous blossoms. Its 

 foliage is handsome, 

 and it is altogether 

 very lovely. Especially 

 desirable for cemetery 

 planting. 



Stocky, 2 to 3 feet, 

 each, 25c; doz., $2.50. 



Strong, 3 to 4 feet, 

 each, 35c; doz., $3.50. 



SYRINGA Lilac. 



PERSICA. Persian- Lilac. 

 — A very graceful shrub 

 with slender branches that 

 produce pretty panicles of 

 light purple flowers in great 

 profusion. 2 to 3 feet, each. 

 25c; doz., S2.50. 



VT'LGARIS. Purple Lilac. 

 — The well-known and pop- 

 ular Lilac; a large, strong 

 growing, upright shrub, bear- 

 ing clusters of richly fra- 

 grant, pure lilac flowers ear- 

 ly in spring. An old fash- 

 ioned shrub that should be 

 in every garden. 2 to 3 feet, 

 each, 20c; doz., $2.00. 



Syringa Vulgaris 

 TFLGARIS ALBA. White Lilac. — A variety of the 

 above, producing freely large panicles of white, fragrant 

 flowers. 2 to 3 feet, each, 25c; doz., $2.50, 



FRENCH LILACS. 



The newer French Lilacs are marvels of beauty and 

 elegance; so far superior to the older forms of S. vulgaris 

 that but a faint idea of their worth can be given in print 

 — they must be seen to be appreciated. The list is long 

 and I have selected from it six of the best and most 

 widely different, namely: 



CHAS. DIX. — Large panicles of single blue flowers. 



MARIE LEGRATE. — Large panicles of single white flow- 

 ers; the finest white Lilac. 



M.ME. LEMOINE.— Double white flowers; superb. 



PRES. CARNOT.— Double flowers; lilac, with wliite 

 markings at center. 



PRES. GREVT. — Fine blue; flowers very large and very 

 double; exceedingly fine. 



SOFT. DE L. SPATE.- Single; flowers and panicles very 

 large, dark. purplisJi-red ; splendid. 



Strong plants, 2 to 3 feet (except as noted), each. 35c. 



Standard Lilacs. — Strong handsome heads on 3 to 4 

 foot stems, each, 50c; doz., $5.00.
