VIBURNUM PLICATUM — JAPAN SNOWBALL. 



New Double White Japan Snowball. 



This grand New Double White Japan Snowball is undoubt- 

 edly one of the most superb hardy flowering Shrubs ever in- 

 troduced; it blooms in June when the whole bush is com- 

 pletely covered and loaded down with great compact balls of 

 pure white double flowers like Miniature Roses. These mag- 

 nilicent balls of flowers are borne in such great profusion, that 

 they almost completely hide the leaves and branches, and the 

 whole bush appeans one dense mass of bloom ; the tree is of 

 erect bushy growth, with deep glossy green leaves, having a 

 peculiar crimped and crinkled appearance ; grows 3 to 4 feet 

 high, and is entirely hardy, needing no protection of any kind. 

 Wehas'e grown itfor along time, but have only lately succeeded 



in raising a large stock ; this year we hope to have enough for 

 all, and our artist has made a fine illustration, which, though 

 not nearly as handsome as the plant itself, gives some idea of 

 its wonderful beautv. We can cordially recommend it as one 

 of the verv best Hardy Ornamental Flowering Shrubs for 

 dooryard, lawn, and park planting; it is also very suitable for 

 cemeteries, as it is vigorous and hardy, and sure to bloom, 

 and being quite scarce and rare, it always attracts a great deal 

 of attention wherever seen. It is one of the things you don't 

 want to miss getting, and ours is the true genuine variety, 

 propagated from large old blooming plants here on our own 

 grounds. Fine plants, 30 cents each ; 4 for $1.
