MISS MARY E. MARTIN, FLORAL PARK, NEW YORK. 



HEDYSARUM MULTIJUGUM. 



(Mongolian Honeysuckle.) 



This is ah exceedingly handsome flower- 

 ing shrub introduced from Mongoha. It 

 attains a height of 5 to 6 feet, branching 

 from close to the ground and spreading 

 out widely in all directions. The flowers 

 are of a deep violet-red with a white and 

 yellow spot a.t the base of petals : borne in 

 racemes 12 to 16 inches long and shaped 

 like pea blossoms, from which it has been 

 given the name "Flowering Pea Bush." 

 It is exceedingly floriferous, being com- 

 pletely covered with flowers the whole 

 season, and is really one of the very finest 

 plants in my catalogue. It is of very easy 

 cultivation, thrives anywhere, and its ex- 

 ceeding hardiness will make it a most 

 welcome acquisition to gardens in the 

 severe climate of the Northern States. 



15c. each ; 4 for 50c., by mail. 



NEW WEIGELin EVA RATHKE. 



We certainly have a grand acquisition 

 in this variety, that is at once a remark- 

 ably free bloomer and entirely distinct 

 color, being a rich reddish-purple, quite 

 different from anything heretofore of- 

 fered. 15c. each ; 2 for 25c., by mail. 



XAWTKOCERAS SORBIFOLIA , 



(Yellow Horn.) 



A rare shrub, recently introduced from China. Blooms almost 

 as soon as frost is out of the ground. The handsomest early 

 flowering shrub known. The bushes completely covered with 

 beautiful white and yellow flowers. Plants 6 inches high will 

 bloom profusely. Will add beauty to the most magnificent of 

 homes. The flowers are 

 an inch across, in clusters 

 standing erect about 8 

 inches long, white, with 

 blood-red streaks at base, 

 followed by three celled 

 fruits, about the size of 

 walnuts. Bv mail, each 

 15c.: 2 for 25c. 



DEUTZiA LEMOINEI. 



Without doubt one of the 

 most important new hardy 

 plants offered in many 

 years, having flowers 

 nearly three times as large 

 as Deutzia Gracilis, which 

 are produced in broad 

 based cone-shape heads of 

 from 20 to 30 flowers each, 

 and are of purest white, 

 which open out very full. 

 It is perfectly hardy, and 

 will not only prove a valu- 

 able plant for the garden, 

 but is certain to become 

 one of the standard plants. 

 This i:)lant has received the 

 highest awards from the 

 National Horticultural So- 

 ciety of France, and has 

 created qiiite a sensation 

 wherever shown. Strong 

 plants, 15c. each; 2 for 

 25c.
