who ordered last Autumn every new lilac she could secure. Those 

 that could only be supplied in small plants are to be grown in pots 

 to place in jars or bowls in the house, on the terrace and wherever 

 a charming note is desired. This is an excellent plan for growing 

 smallish shrubs, etc., in pots; then when they are older and larger, 

 they may be planted in permanent positions. 



Two new Deutzias could be grown this way. The most 

 feathery, graceful one you have ever seen is Lemoine's Fleur de 

 Pommier, all rose clouded flowers, while Boule de Neige, also 

 Lemoine's, is as round as a globe and an ideal form for gracing the 

 balustrade urns and jars. After flowering Blue Lilies-of-the-Nile 

 could replace them. Lemoine's Boule Rose Deutzia we know, and is 

 there anything more enchanting when in full blossom? It appears 

 more a prim bouquet than a little shrub. Do you realize that even 

 Crenata, which we believed could have no peer, is rivaled by a new 

 Crenata-Deutzia? It is Crenata Magnifica and really magnificent! 

 Grow a number of Aralia Mandschusica. This variety is much 

 taller growing than Spinosa; Mandschusica will reach fourteen to 

 eighteen feet, plant them with the Deutzias. Their canopies of 

 leaves will tower over Deutzia's, arrestingly, royally, dwarf 

 grasses, white flowered Periwinkle and Mme. Chereau Iris in abun- 

 dance would make this planting a permanent picture. 



Now that we have a new and brilliant yellow rose that blooms 

 when the Spireas, White Deutzias and many other white flowered 

 shrubs are loveliest, this golden rose is Hugonis ; it is hardy, vigor- 

 ous, vividly colorful and takes its place among the novelties, as 

 the very earliest rose to flower. Grown in the foreground with 

 white blossomed shrubs, in full sun and fed independently, Hugonis 

 the "shrub rose" will prove a valuable "new comer" in our gardens. 



Golden Emblem is a new yellow hybrid tea-rose. The intro- 

 ducer of this novelty claims that Golden Emblem is really a hardy 

 Marechal Neil, excelling it in color, substance and foliage. Yellow 

 roses are so loved that Golden Emblem will not remain a stranger 

 for long, I am certain. 



We should be so grateful to the patient hybridizers for all the 

 treasures they have given us, and continue to give us !
