VIBURNUM SNOWBALL. 



Viburnum (Arrow Root). 



Opulis Sterelis (Snowball). — We wish to call particular 

 attention to this old shrub; it is a strong hardy grower, with 

 elegant ornamental foliage, and is covered when in bloom 

 with large balls of pure white flowers, having a striking re- 

 semblance to balls of 

 snow. One of the best 

 early blooming shrubs 

 (see cut), iscts. each; 

 larger size, 20 cts. 



Yucca 



(Spanish Bayonet). 



Filamentosa. — A 

 low-growing, hardy, 

 evergreen plant, with 

 long, narrow leaves; 

 very distinct and al- 

 most tropical in its ap- 

 pearance. The flower 

 stalk is from 2 to 4 

 feet high, and rises 

 from the centre. It 

 bears a profusion of 

 creamy white bell- 

 shaped flowers; very 

 beautiful; very efficient 

 lawn plant ; will thrive 

 and succeed in the 

 poorest soil. 15 cts. 

 each ; larger size, 20c. YUCCA FILAMENTOSA. 



Hydrangea Paniculata Grandiflora, for Hedges. 



This is an additional and one of the most desirable features of this well-known shrub. We have proven by experience 

 that Hydrangea Paniculata Grandiflora will make a compact, distinct and ornamental hedge by pruning the plants 

 annually in early Spring ; the height can be easily kept, from 4 to 6 feet, and from Midsummer until severe frost will be a mass 

 of bloom ; color, white, changing as the season advances to pink, copper pink and salmon. Probably the reason this grand 

 Hardy Shrub has not been extensively used for hedges in the past was owing to the necessary high price. Fully realizing the 

 many uses that can be made of it, we made its production one of our greatest specialties, until we have undoubtedly the best 

 and most extensive stock in the world. At last we can make the prices as low as any other first-class hedge plant. We, 

 therefore, take great satisfaction in recommending it to our friends and customers for hardy ornamental hedges. Please see 

 full description on page 57. For best effect set the plants I foot apart in line; a space of 100 feet will therefore require 100 

 plants; they can be planted either Fall or Spring.
