CHOICE HARDY SHRUBS— Continued. 



Showy, 



Rhododendron 



Bhododeudrous. One of the most valuable of our haidy 

 decorative plants. They require only a good garden soil, 

 which should be dug at least 2 feet deep and mixed with 

 some leaf mould or peat; it is also well to mulch the ground 

 during summer, and protect with leaves or brush during win- 

 ter. We offer a choice col- 

 lection of plants from 12 to 

 24 inches high, bushy and 

 well established, of hardiest 

 varieties only, ranging in 

 color from the purest white 

 through all the shades of 

 rose, pink, purple and crim- 

 son. All the plants we offer 

 are finely set with buds. 

 12 to 15 inches high, 75 cts. 



each, $7.50 per doz., i?60.00 



per 100 ; 15 to 18 inches high, 



$1.00 each, $10.00 per doz.; 



18 to 24 inches high, $1.50 



each, §15 00 per doz. 



Japan Snowball ( Viiur- 



num Plicatum). This is one 

 of the most valuable of our 

 hardy shrubs. Flowers, though 

 hardly as large as the old va- 

 riety, are much more numer- 

 ous. The leaves are in pairs 

 along the stem, and from the 

 base of each leaf a ball of 

 flowers appears. There are 

 often as many as twenty balls 

 on a branch 18 inches long. 

 These balls all face upward, 



so that a full view of their great beauty can be had. 

 A fine lot of extra strong plants, 50 cts. each, $5. 00 per doz. 

 Japanese Wlneberry. Interesting plant belonging to 

 the Raspberry family. 10 cts. each, $1.00 per doz. Seed,

 pure white flowers. 



Trifoliate Orange. This is the most hardy of the orange family, and 

 will stand our northern climate with little or no proteclion, and is also de- 

 sirable for pot culture. It is dwarf, of alow, shrubby growth, with beauti- 

 ful trifoliate, glossy green leaves, and large, white, scented blossoms. 



Privet, California. Nearly evergreen. Bears white flowers in the 

 early summer; one of the best hedge plants.

— Keevesii Fl. PI. Double white flowers in clusters ; very fine. 



— Tliunbergii. One of the most charming of all low-growing shrubs, 

 with fine, delicate foliage and a profusion of small white flowers m spring. 



— Van Hoilttei, The grandest of all the Spireas; it is a beautiful 

 ornament for the lawn at any season, but when in flower it is a com- 

 plete fountain of white bloom, the foliage hardly showing. Clusters of 

 20 to 30 flat white florets make up the raceme, and these clusters are set 



close along the drooping stems. Perfectly hardy and an 

 early bloomer. 20 cts. each, $2.00 per doz. 

 New Crimson Spirea {Amhony Waterer). A new and 

 remarkably valuable and distinct variety. It outshines all other 

 Spireas in brilliancy of color, being of a bright crimson; it 



is of dwarfer and denser

growth, never exceeding 15 

 inches in height, and a pro- 

 fuse and persistent bloomer,

 JAPANESE HAPLES. These are exceedingly beautiful plants, 



especially in spring and early summer, 

 -when they burst into full leaf, and the various colors of the foliage are deep and 

 decided. As the summer advances the deep colors fade out very much, but the 

 lace-like foliage retains its beautiful outlines, and in autumn many varieties 

 deepen in color and assume very beautiful autumn tints.
