A NEW HARDY SNOW-WHITE SHRUB 

 HYDRANGEA. 



Hydrangea Arborescens Grandiflora Alba. A variety of the native 

 H. arborescens, recently discovered. The heads of flowers are in 

 shape like 11. hortensis; they are snowy white. It is a true shrub. 

 begins to bloom in early summer and continues into the fall, so that 

 it is practically ever-blooming. After H. paniculata grandiflora has 

 lost its color this variety is still fresh, eventually turning to a light 

 green and then brown. It is a graceful shrub and is destined to 

 achieve the widest popularity. It attains a height of 6 feet and 

 the same width, and is literally loaded with its grand panicles of 

 large snowy white flowers, one of the grandest sights imaginable.

THE NEW ELEGANT, PLUMED FERN. 



Nephrolepis Piersoni Elegantissima. 



This is a sport from the Pierson Fern, in which the plumv peculiarity of the original form 

 is even more distinctly developed than in the original, the side pinnae being again .subdivided 

 and standing at right angles to the direction of the midrib, makes both sides of the frond equally 

 beautiful, while at the same time the plant is of much more compact habit, growing only one 

 half as tall, but with the fronds nearly twice as wide, making it a much more desirable plant 

 for all purposes. (See cut.) Price, 2-inch pots. 15c. each. SI. 50 per doz.: 3-inch pots, 25c. each 

 S2.50 per doz.; 4-inch pots. 50c. each. S5.00 per d( 



each. 



per doz.; 5-inch pots. 75c. each. 6-inch pots; SI. 25 



NEW OSTRICH-PLUME FERN. Nephrolepis Whitman*. 



A new form of the " Ostrich Plume " Fern. The pinnae subdividing making miniature 

 fronds, which are superimposed on the main fronds, looking as if two or even three were con- 

 densed in one. They are graceful beyond description, featherv. plumv; nothing describes 

 them better than Ostrich Plumes. This is by far the best of the tvpe vet offered. 



Price. 4-inch pots. 60c. each; 5-inch pots, Sl.00 each; 6-inch pots". S1.50 each; 7-inch pots 

 S2.00 each. 



THE NEW PARLOR FERN, N. SCOTTI. 



It is in essence a condensed form of the Boston fern, with valuable characteristics added, 

 which are not evident in the parent, an average plant in an 8-inch pot. having 200 fronds. 

 The fronds of the plant described average about 20 inches in length and 3 inches in width at 

 the widest point; the pinnae are very closely set. so that they overlap, making a more finished 

 frond than the parent. The plant in question had a spread of three feet. Plants in 4-inch 

 pots showed a spread of 18 inches and a height of 10 to 12 inches. It has a crispness and 

 hardness about it which is superior to the parent, and which is one of its very valuable char- 

 acteristics. It propagates very freely, and because of the fact that its character is established 

 in the smallest size, it should find readv sale at all grades. 



Price, plants from 4-inch pots, 40c. each, S4.00 per doz. 



BOSTON FERN. Nephrolepis Bostoniensis. 



In well grown specimens the fronds attain a length of six or seven

The New Anemone -Flowered Paris Daisy, 

 «* QUEEN ALEXANDRA." 



The flowers are from 2-V to 3 inches in diameter, pure white, the 

 greater percentage coming "full double, not unlike an Anemone-flowered 

 Japanese Chrysanthemum, but even the semi-double and single flowers, 

 which appear on the same plant, are very handsome. This is a great 

 improvement on the single ' Paris Daisy." and should be in every col- 

 lection. 15c. each. SI. 50 per dozen.
