Choice Hardy Shrubs 



HYDRANGEA ARBORESCENS STERILIS 



Hardy Azalea Mollis. 



In the open border these are among the showiest of our very early 

 flowering shrubs, while for forcing they are very profitable, as they can 

 be handled at a minimum expense for heat and labor. Many who 

 have no special facilities for carrying the Indian Azaleas in a retarded 

 condition could profitably handle this type, which can be stored in the 

 open until four weeks before being wanted, potting them up and 

 bringing inside at that time ; with this in view we have imported 

 an extra quantity, and are in position to supply an exceptionally fine lot 

 of nicely budded plants, 15 to 18 inches high. $4.50 per doz.; $35.00 

 per 100. 



Hardy Ghent Azalea. (A. pontica.) 



These are used extensively in out-door planting inconnection with 

 Rhododendrons and hardy shrubs, and are valuable for their bright 

 colors and extreme hardiness. Good bushy plants, 15 inches high. 

 $4.50 per doz.; $35.00 per 100. 



Azalea Amoena. 



Of this evergreen variety which is now so popular, we have an 

 immense stock of bushy, shapely plants. 



12 to 15 inches high, $5.00 per doz.; $40.00 per 100. 

 15 to 18 inches high, $7.50 per doz.; $60.00 per 100. 



New and Rare Hardy Azaleas. 



Altaclerensis. This variety, an introduction from Japan, produces 

 bright yellow flowers in very large trusses, is extremely hardy, of 

 strong, vigorous growth. Strong plants, 60 cts. each ; $6.00 per doz. 



Anthony Koster. Though not new, this beautiful Azalea, which is 

 one of the prettiest of the Mollis section, is yet but little known. Its 

 intense golden orange-yellow flowers are of exceptional large size, 

 and are produced very freely early in May, Strong bushy plants, 

 well set with buds, 60 cts. each ; $6.00 per doz. 



J. C. Van Tol. This is the best of the red-flowering forms of Azalea 

 Mollis, having exceptionally large flowers, and being of strong, vig- 

 orous habit. 60 cts. each ; $6.00 per doz. 



Yodogama. This charming variety is a perfect gem for out-door 

 plant ing. It forms a strong bushy shrub about 3 feet high, which in 

 May is literally covered with semi-double lavender-pink flowers. A 

 shade at once distinct from all others and very pleasing. We rec- 

 ommend this Shrub very highly. Good plants, 80 cts. each ; $9.00 

 per doz. 



Philadelphia Purpurea Maculatus. 



This new variety is the result of a cross effected by the renowned 

 French Hybridizer, Victor Lemoine. All varieties heretofore have 

 been white, while in this new variety the four petals have a distinct 

 rosy-crimson spot at the base of each petal. The plant is of strong, 

 vigorous growth, forming a bushy specimen about three feet high. 

 The flowers are large, and appear on the ends of the axillary 

 branches. 25 cents each ; $2.50 per dozen. 



Snowball Hydrangea. 



Hydrangea arborescens sterilis. 



" " grandiflora alba. 



" " " forma nova. 



This is the beautiful Hydrangea over whose identity and name so 

 much as been said in the trade papers recently ; pending final settle- 

 ment we t. ve all the names under which it is now known. By any name 

 this magnificent, perfectly hardy, American Shrub is the very finest 

 addition to this class of plants in many a year. The snow-white blooms 

 are of largest size, the form of the panicle much like that of Hydrangea 

 Hortensia. The habit of the plant is excellent, the foliage finely fin- 

 ished, lacking entirely the coarseness of Hydrangea Paniculata 

 Grandiflora. One of the most valuable characteristics is its coming 

 into bloom just after the passing of all the early spring Shrubs, while 

 its long flowering season, from early June until late August, makes it 

 a valuable acquisition in any garden. Strong one-year-old plants, 12 

 to 15 inches high ; 35 cts. each; $4.00 per doz.

24 to 30 inches high, grand specimens, $2.00 each ; $20.00 per dozen ; 

 $150.00 per 100. 



Tamarix Hispida /Estivalis. 



Any description gives but a faint idea of the beauty and grace of 

 the feathery, delicate, soft pink sprays of this lovely new Tamarisk. 

 Its chief merit is in the fact that it flowers during the months of July 

 and August, a time when the shrubbery border is comparatively bare 

 of flowers, and even when not in bloom its neat growth, together with 

 the attractive fresh, blue-green foliage, makes it a most ornamental 

 and desirable subject for every garden. 25 cts. each ; $2.50 per doz.
