Acres of 

 Shrubs. 



ANDROMEDA MARIANA. 



ARDY FLOWERING 

 SHRUBS are and have 

 been for years a leading 

 specialty with us. All 

 our Shrubs are strong, healthy 

 plants, field grown, and fre- 

 quently twice transplanted. 

 They are valuable for their 

 beautiful flowers and foliage, and 

 being entirely hardy need no pro- 

 tection in Winter, and increase in 

 value and beauty every year. They 

 are very nice set singly or in clumps 

 and masses about the ground. 

 Some of the larger growing kinds are good 

 for screens and ornamental hedges, which 

 are always sightly, and make a glorious 

 show when in bloom. Others are best for 

 low borders and filling odd corners and 

 angles; they make a good shelter for 

 many other more tender plants and flow- 

 ers, such as Lilies and Summer Flow- 

 ering Bulbs, which like some protection 

 from sun and wind. Fine Shrubbery 

 properly disposed about the place gives a neat, fur- 

 nished, homelike appearance that nothing else can 

 do, and is the best background for all other kinds of 

 flowers and flower beds. At prices named we send good, strong 

 plants postpaid by Mail ; but as we can send larger plants by Ex- 

 press, we do so when desired, the purchaser paying the Express 

 charges. 



Andromeda Mariana. 



This beautiful Andromeda is certainly one of the prettiest and best hardy 

 flowering Shrubs for all proper kinds of ornamental planting, and we believe 

 we are doing a real service in bringing it into more prominent notice and 

 ur°in°- its more general use. It grows easily, is healthy and vigorous ; makes 

 a neat, compact, shapely bush from 2 to 3 feet high, and produces great 

 sheaves of graceful sprays covered and laden to the tips with lovely bloom. 

 The individual flowers are long and tubular, and of nearly even size at 

 each end ; they are delightfully fragrant, and of a peculiar waxy white that 

 is very beautiful and attractive. The wood and foliage are both curiously 

 marked and it is in every way a highly interesting and desirable plant for 

 use about the home, doorvard or Shrub border; also for planting in parks, 

 lawns and cemeteries, in fact wherever hardy and beautiful Shrubbery is 

 wanted. 20 cts. each ; 3 for 50 cts.
