Hydrangea paniculata grandiflora 



EuonymUS EuropaeUS (Burning Bush) 

 Erect shrub or small tree; good foliage and 

 desirable in shrubbery masses; most attractive 

 in autumn when covered with orange-scarlet seed 

 vessels. Strong, 2-yr. plants, 20 cts. each, $2 per 

 doz. 



Forsythia (Golden Bell) 

 Suspensa. Flowers bright yellow, somewhat 

 drooping; blooms very early in the spring. Strong, 

 i-yr. plants, 15 cts. each, Si. 50 per doz.; strong, 2-yr. 

 plants, 20 cts. each, S2 per doz. 



Fortunei. This makes long, pendent shoots, 

 being extremely pretty when its arched branches are 

 full of golden yellow flowers in April. This is the 

 most erect-growing variety and decidedly the best 

 when only one variety is planted. Strong i-yr. 

 plants, 15 cts. each, Si per doz.; strong 2-yr. plants, 

 25 cts. each, S2.25 per doz. 



Ginkgo biloba (Maidenhair) 

 Recently this tree has sprung into great pop- 

 ularity. It is remarkable as a deciduous member 

 of the pine family, with oddly 

 shaped leaves that resemble those 

 of the Maidenhair Fern; highly 

 ornamental for lawn planting. 

 Small, well-rooted trees, 20 cts. 

 each, $2 per doz. 



Halesia tetraptera 



(Snowdrop Tree: Silver Bell 1 



Medium size, producing, as 

 soon as the leaves appear, a great 

 number of large, crowded clusters 

 of pure white, bell-shaped flow- 

 ers. Strong 2-yr. plants, 25 cts. 

 each, $2.25 per doz. 



Hamamelis Virginica 



(Witch Hazel) 



A tall-growing shrub, often 

 growing 8 feet, with very large, 

 dark green foliage and showy 

 yellow flowers just before the 

 leaves fall in autumn; very hardy 

 and easy of culture. Strong 2-1 

 yr. plants, 20 cts. each, S2 per' 

 doz. 



Hydrangea paniculata grandiflora 



Blooms from July to September. There is no 

 shrub more showy than this favorite Hydrangea, 

 whose branches are bent beneath the weight of 

 the huge white flower cluster. As the season ad- 

 vances the panicles fade into tints of pink, red and 

 sometimes green. A vigorous grower in nearly all 

 soils, and hardy in most parts of the United States. 

 Should be in all collections; valuable as a specimen 

 and useful for grouping. 12 to 15 in., 20 cts. each, 

 S2 per doz.; 18 to 24 in., 25 cts. each, $2.50 per doz. 



Jasminum nudiflorum (Yellow Jasmine) 



Blooms in February and March. Hardy only in 

 sheltered places north of Philadelphia. Admired 

 for its yellow flowers in the first warm days of 

 spring. 15 to 18 in., 25 cts. each, S2.25 per doz.; 

 18 to 24 in., 35 cts. each, S3 per doz. 



Kerria Japonica 



Single. Shrubs with tender, bright green 

 branches that are ornamental even when divested of 

 leaves. They grow in almost any soil, and do well 

 in open or shaded places. All the varieties have at- 

 tractive foliage; valuable for shrubberies. Orange- 

 yellow flowers borne in abundance. Strong 2-yr. 

 plants, 25 cts. each, $2.25 per doz. 



Double Chochorus. Same as above, except 

 with double flowers, and if only one variety is to be 

 planted this one is to be preferred. Plant is a free 

 bloomer, producing quantities of yellow flowers in 

 June and July. Strong, 2-yr. plants, 25 cts. each, 

 S2.25 per doz. 



Koelreuteria paniculata (Varnish Tree) 



A small, round-headed tree from China, with 

 large pinnate leaves; conspicuous on account of 

 its brilliant golden blossoms, which are produced 

 the latter part of July, when few, if any, trees are 

 in bloom. Strong, 2-yr. trees, 25 cts. each, S2.25 

 per doz.
