THE LOV^TT COMPANY, 

 GOLDEN-LEAVED SYRINGA. 



11 



One of the finest of all golden-leaved shrubs and 

 magnificent in contrast with other foliage. For group- 

 ing with purple-leaved or other dark shrubbery it is in- 

 dispensable and almost equally valuable for forming 

 solid masses alone. In habit, compact and rather 

 dwarf, about three t^ four feet, forming a solid, rounded 

 mass, without pruning. The foliage is very dense, of 

 an exquisite, bright, golden-yellow throughout the sea- 

 son, and withstands the hot sun well. Words fail to 

 describe its effective beauty. Ea., 20c; 3 for 50c; doz., 

 $1.50. 



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 

 prodigal profusion, bearing 

 large, pure snow-white star- 

 shaped flowei-s on long, 

 slender branches, with ex- 

 quisitely beautiful effect. 

 Rare and graceful. Should 

 be planted by itself. Ea., 

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



PURPLE FRINGE. 



Rhus cotinus. 



Verj' ornamental ; of sym- 

 metrical rounded form at- 

 taining a height possibly of 

 fifteen feet. It has beauti- 

 ful, clean-cut, oval leaves 

 of bright, glossy green, and 

 the flowers appear in June, 

 borne in large, loose, fringe- 

 like paiiicles of a light pur- 

 plish color which remain 

 until frost. It is very beau- 

 tiful and also very curious, 

 its long feathery fringe-like 

 growth making it appear 

 as if enveloped in smoke or 

 mist. Valuable and orna- 

 mental for lawn or shrub- 

 bery. Ea., 15c; 3 for 35c; 

 (ioz., $1.25. 



LifTLE SILVER, N. J. 



ANDROMEDA 



MARIANA. 



One of the finest and most 

 beautiful of all; of neat, 

 compact habit and vigorous 

 growth, attaining a height 

 of two or three feet. It pro- 

 duces innumerable graceful 

 sprays of tubular, 

 white, waxy fiow- 

 e r s , delightfully 

 fragrant and of ex- 

 quisite individual 

 beauty. The foli- 

 age remains until 

 very late, 

 turning to a 

 deep red in 

 autumn. 

 It is some- 

 times styled 

 the Lily of 

 the Valley 

 Shrub, a 

 very appro- 

 priate name. A valuable and desirable shrub for orna- 

 mental purposes in the foreground of boi-ders, etc. 

 Worthy of all praise. Ea., 20c; 3 for 50c; doz., $1.50. 



WEIGELA. 



Weigela Candida. The best white variety. Of large 

 size and erect, strong groAvth, producing a great pro- 

 fusion of large, pure white flowers in June and July and 

 more moderately throughout the entire summer. An 

 exceedingly desirable and handsome shrub. Ea., 15c; 

 3 for 35c; doz., $1.25. 



Weigela Lavallee. A most beautiful variety of spread- 

 ing growth and an excellent companion for W. eandida 

 by reason of the strong and pleasing contrast in the 

 color of their flowers, which in this are of a dark re;'- 

 dish-purple, borne abundantly during June and more 

 moderately all summer and autumn. Ea., 15c; 3 for 

 35c; doz., $1.25. 



Varieffated-leaved Weigrela. A grand shrub of rather 

 dwarf habit with handsome foliage deeply margined 

 with clear creamy- white, very distinctly defined. Its 

 flowers are of a bright pink, continuing all summer. 

 Unexcelled for planting in the shrubbery and produc- 

 ing effective contrasts or as single specimens. Ea., 20c; 

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



One each of the three varieties for 40c.
