 PACKET. 



(CHINESE LILAC.) It is 



a hardy shrub, growing 



Buddleia Variabilis. 



three to four feet high, its gracefully arching branches cov- 

 ered with a woolly bloom. The leaves are bright green above, 

 velvet white underneath. The contrast of white and green 

 produces a highly decorative effect. The very numerous 

 branches are terminated by racemes of flowers, frequently 

 twelve inches in length and borne in such quantities as to 

 cover the entire bush. The predominating shade is rosy lilac, 

 with orange tint in center. Exquisite rose and violet shades 

 also. The flowers, which have an agreeable odor, are pro- 

 duced from June until October and even later. 

 Good blooming plants, 20c.; 3 for 50c. 



Hydrangea. 



(PANieULATA 



ORANDIFLORA.) 



They are absolutely hardy, grow in any soil and 

 bloom in the same year they are set out. They 

 flower abundantly, bearing immense panicles of 

 bloom, white, turning to rose in Autumn. An 

 annual shortening of branches tends to increase the 

 size of the flowers.

Crimson Spirea 



Japan Snowball, 



(Viburnum Plicatum.) 



I have long wanted to 

 sell this excellent plant, 

 but price and scarcity of 

 good plants have deterred 

 me from so doing until 

 now. The plant standsat 

 the head of hardy shrubs, 

 it is absolutely hardy; a 

 good grower; and is as 

 much superior to thecom- 

 mon snowball as a culti- 

 vated Rose is better than 

 a wild one. Flowers re- 

 semble a huge snowball. 

 Will grow six to eight ft. 

 In bloom all Summer. 



Fine blooming plants, 

 20c. ea.; 2 for 30g. Extra 

 large strong plants, 30c. 



The New Crimson Spirea. i3*f;X''esTS'rtI!;;: 



Nhen it is scarcely three inches high it begins to bloom, and 

 thereafter is seldom out of flower. As a house plant nothing can 

 equal it. In garden it will make a plant three feet high and wide, 

 and will be covered with heads, one foot across, of brilliant 

 crinison flowers. 15c, each; 2 for 25c. Larger plants, 25c.
