GENISTA JAPONICA. 

 Golden Fleece. 



Exquisite when in bloom, and very attractive at 

 all times. During June it is literally clothed with 

 innumerable bright yellow, pea-shaped flowers, 

 forming a perfect mass of pure golden-yellow col- 

 or, delightful to behold. When not in flower it is a 

 mass of long, slender, bright green branches, with 

 small, inconspicuous leaves. Plants 12 to 1 8 inches 

 and a mass of branches. Each, 20c. ; 3 for 50c. 



ALTHAEA. Snowdrift. 



The best single white and the finest of its color 

 for ornamental display. The flowers are large, 

 single, and bell-shaped, of the purest snowy-white 

 throughout and produced in such numbers as to 

 give a veritable drift of bloom throughout August 

 and September. The plant is a vigorous grower 

 and unusually hardy. 2 to 3 ft. ; stocky. Ea.. 25c • 

 5 for $1.00. 



HYPERICUM VAN FLEETI. 

 Golden Lace. 



A new shrubby Hypericum of the greatest value; 

 and the freest blooming and most valuable shrub, 

 producing yellow flowers, that has, as yet, been 

 offered. Blooming as it does, from early in August 

 until late in Autumn, it is an especially desirable 

 addition to the list of Shrubs; so few others flower 

 at the same season. When it is remembered that 

 the plant is of dwarf, compact habit, as hardy as 

 an oak and is literally covered with the most bril- 

 liant golden-yellow flowers imaginable, an inch in 

 diameter and in their make-up, look at a short dis- 

 tance, "for all the world," like gold lace, some 

 idea of its great beauty and value is apparent. 

 This variety was produced by Dr. Walter Van 

 Fleet, the hybridizer, who has given the world so 

 manv wonderful varieties of flowering plants, and 

 who in a brief note says: " The hybria Hypericum 

 sold you is a cross between Hypericum aureum 

 and H. prolifcum, the two hardiest and freest- 

 blooming of American species. This hybrid Hy- 

 pericum is intermediate in season; beginning to 

 bloom in early August and lasting until nearly frost. 

 The flowers are brilliant golden-yellow, about an 

 inch in diameter, very much larger than those of 

 H. prolifcum, and are borne in such profusion that 

 they cover the whole plant. It makes a compact 

 bushy shrub, from 18 inches to 2 feet high, and may 

 be relied upon to hold brilliant color longer than 

 any other variety. Altogether this appears to be 

 the finest shrubby St. John's Wort yet produced." 

 Enough said. It is the finest shrub producing yel- 

 low flowers and one of the most valuable of all 

 shrubs in existence. Stocky field-grown plants, 12 

 to 18 in. Each, 35c.; 3 for $1.00. 



WEIGELA, Eva Rathke. 



Very distinct in color of flower from all other 

 Weigelas, a remarkably free bloomer and a vigor- 

 ous, erect grower. The flowers are of a rich deep 

 crimson, and produced in great abundance, contin- 

 uously throughout the Summer and Autumn. 

 This new Weigela surpasses all others by far in 

 beauty and value. Stocky plants, 2 to 3 feet, each, 

 20c. ; 3 for 50c.
