X^N'IZING the sterling worth of this grandest of all hardy flowering Shrubs, we have for many 

 ears past made it a leadmg specialty, growing and eellmg annually upwards of one hundred 

 lousand plants ; as a result of our efforts it is to-day the most popular of all shi-ubs for yard, lawn 

 nd cemetery planting ; it Ls extensively used for hedge planting and for clumps and screens, 

 he great reduction now made in the prices should still further its popularity. It readily attains 

 5f five to seven feet ; hardy in all localities, and needs no protection in Winter ; blooms the first 

 'season in July and August, when other flowers are scarce, and continues in bloom for two or 

 nths ; the flowers are massive, cone shaped, often measuring ten inches in length, and have a 

 variation of coloi, changing from the original pure white to pink, and finally a beautiful rich 

 ed. When the flowers manure they can be cut and utilized as parlor ornaments, where they 

 'ir natural beauty for an indefinite time. Our engraving, reproduced from a photograph of a
