HEDYSARUM MULTIJUGUM. 



(Mongolian Honeysuckle.) 



This is an exceedingly handsome flower- 

 ing shrub introduced from Mongolia. It 

 attains a height of 5 to 6 feet, branching 

 from close lo the ground and spreading 

 out widely in all directions. The flowers 

 are of a deep violet-red with a white and 

 yellow spot at the base of petals ; borne in 

 racemes 12 to IG inches long and shaped 

 like pea blo.'^soms, from which it has been 

 given the name " Flowering Pea Bush." 

 It is exceedingly floriferous, being com- 

 pletely covered with flowers the Avhole- 

 season, and is really one of the very finest 

 plants in my catalogue. It is of very easy 

 cultivation," tlirives'anywiiere, and its ex- 

 ceeding hardiness will make it a most 

 welcome aci|uisition to gardens in the 

 severe climate of the Northern States.

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

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 ]>lanthas received the 

 highest aAvards from the 

 National Horticultural So- 

 ciety of France, and has 

 created quite a sensation 

 wherever shown. Strong 

 plants, 15c. each; 2 for 

 2SC. ^
