R. & J. FARQUHAR CO-, BOSTON. NEW AND RARE PLANTS 



Spiraea trichocarpa 



Spir£ea Henryi 



FARQUHAR'S NEW AND RARE PLANTS, continued 



Forsythia intermedia spectabilis. Of hybrid 



origin, this is one of the handsomest of all Forsythias. It has 

 gracefully arching stems and rich yellow flowers somewhat larger 

 than those of any other sort. The general color effect is a shade 

 or two richer than the older varieties and its profusion of 

 bloom is so remarkable that it puts the old-fashioned types to 

 shame. Oneof the most desirable of all hardy shrubs. $1.50 each. 



Lonicera Koroll(owi fioribunda. This valuable 



Bush Honeysuckle is one of the gems of a lovely group of 

 hardy shrubs. Vigorous of growth, with twiggy branchlets and 

 bluish gray-green leaves, its striking blooms are a beautiful 

 pink shade, and are produced in utmost profusion. Graceful 

 in habit, the effect produced from a short distance is of bril- 

 liant pink floating on thin mists. Splendid when permitted 

 to develop into a large isolated plant. $2.00 each. 



Lonicera Maacki. One of the very finest of all Bush 

 Honeysuckles. It grows 6 to 8 feet tall and is much more in 

 diameter. The leaves are relatively large, 

 broadly ovate, and the large white flow- 

 ers stand well above the foliage. In 

 autxmin the plant is covered with scarlet 

 fruit, and this is retained far into the 

 winter. This shrub is absolutely hardy 

 and makes a splendid specimen plant. 

 $1.00 each; $9.00 for 10. 



Lonicera Maaclci podocarpa. 



This magnificent, hardy, quick-growing 

 shrub has long sprays of white flowers 

 and scarlet fruits which ripen in Septem- 

 ber and remain on the plant far into the 

 winter. The leaves are retained very late 

 and the contrast between green leaves and 

 scarlet berries is extraordinarily beautiful. 

 $2.00 each; $17.50 for 10. 



Spiraea trichocarpa. This is a new, 



perfectly hardy species from Korea, and forms 

 a broad, spreading shrub from 4 to 6 feet tall. 

 Its arching stems, in season, are laden with 

 broad, dome-like clusters of snow-white flow- 

 ers. It blooms much later than the well-known 

 S. Van Houttei, and is considered a far superior 

 variety. 2 to 2^ ft., $2.50 each; 1^ to 2 ft., 

 $1.50 each. 



Spiraea Henryi. a new and magnificent midseason- 

 flowering Spirea from China. It is of vigorous, erect habit, with 

 spreading, arching branches on the upper side of which, from 

 each leaf-axil, arise 6-inch broad heads of pure white flowers. 

 So freely are the blossoms borne that the whole bush, in season, 

 is a bouquet of white. A perfectly formed shrub, it grows some 

 8 feet tall and even more in diameter, and is one of the finest 

 and most beautiful of the early summer-flowering shrubs hardy 

 in New England. 2H to 3 ft., $2.50 each. 



Viburnum Cariesi. A Korean plant of recent in- 

 troduction, bearing large corymbs of sweet-scented white 

 flowers, resembling those of the bouvardia. A most desir- 

 able shrub. 1 to IK ft., $2.50 each. 



Abies Veitchi Olivacea. Green-cone Veitch Fir. 



This new Fir is one of the aristocrats of the Silver Fir 



family. It makes a broad, pyramidal growth, ideal for use 



where a stately lawn specimen is desired. The foliage is a 



beautiful oUve-green shade, quite lustrous 



and silvery underneath, and the green 



cones are particularly ornamental. It 



was introduced in 1917 for the Arnold 



Arboretum by E. H. Wilson, and has 



proved very hardy. 13^ to 2 ft., $5.00 



each. 



Abies liolopliylia. Korean Silver 

 Fir. This is the common Silver Fir of 

 Korea, and one of the handsomest of the 

 Asiatic species. It is broadly pyramidal 

 in habit, densely branched to the ground, 

 with bright green, lustrous foliage. In- 

 troduced by E. H. Wilson of the Arnold 

 Arboretum, in 1917, this new Korean Fir 

 has proved perfectly hardy in and around 

 Boston and is a valued addition to the hmited 

 number of Silver Firs that will thrive in the 

 New England cUmate. IK to 2 ft., $5.00 each.
