Pyracantha (Crataegus) coccinea Lalandi 



Piretliorn or Evergreen Thorn 



There is no other fruiting evergreen Shrub that is 

 so attactive throughout the year as this fiery Thorn, 

 and which will succeed in any fairly sunny position, 

 developing into a shapely plant 6 or more feet high; 

 it may be planted either in connection with other 

 Shrubs or as a single specimen or may be trained 

 with wonderful effect against a wall. Its large 

 trusses of white flowers are followed in summer by 

 an abundance of brilliant orange-scarlet berries, 

 which, remaining on the plants throughout the win- 

 ter produce a gorgeous effect. Strong pot-grown 

 plants 15 inches high, 75c each. 



Viburnum Carlesi 



A rare Korean variety which is entirely distinct 

 with salver-shaped flowers of a delicate rose tinted 

 white, passing to white sweet-scented flowers pro- 

 duced in terminal subglobose cymes 2 to 3 inches in 

 diameter, reminding one somewhat of a spray of Bou- 

 vardia. Good bushy specimens 2 to 2% feet high, $1.25 

 each. 



Viburnum rhytidophyllum 



A rare variety, particularly attractive on account 

 of its large dark green nearly evergreen foliage, the

much stronger in all parts, the foliage being larger
