HARDY SHRUBS. 



Flowering shrubs are of the greatest value and importance in the adornment of the home grounds, 

 giving a finished and artistic appearance even to those of moderate dimensions. There is nothing that 

 will so quickly, and for the cost, add so much beauty to the surroundings. Those here offered are 

 entirely hardy, bloom at once, and continue to grow lovelier year by year. By a proper selection of 

 kinds, bloom may be secured continuously throughout the season (from early Spring to late in Autumn), 

 and with the addition of the variegated and golden-leaved sorts and those bearing ornamental fruit, a 

 continual and varied display of beauty can be obtained. 



Owing to limited space I describe here but a few of the choicest and most popular of ornamental 

 shrubs, every one of which is a gem, though my assortment is large. I shall be glad to quote sizes and 

 prices, upon application, for any others than here named. Those wishing shrubs in large numbers will 

 please write me and obtain my wholesale prices. The prices quoted are for shipping sizes. Large 

 specimens of many kinds can be supplied if desired at special prices. Prices by the dozen and hundred 

 will be given upon application. 



VALUABLE NEW SHRUBS. 



Smaller sized plants o f those will be sent by mail, if desired, at prices quoted. 



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 oflong, slender, bright green branches, with 

 small, inconspicuous leaves. Plants 12 to 18 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 

 many wonderful varieties of flowering plants, and 

 who in a brief note says: " The hybria Hypericum 

 sold you is a cross between Hypericum avreum 

 and H. prolificiim,^ 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. prolificuni, 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. Stockv 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. Stockv plants, 2 to 3 feet, each, 

 20c. ; 3 for 60c.
