Deutzia  crenata,  var.  fl.  pi.  rosea.  Double  Pink 
Deutzia.  Exquisite  flowers  of  double  rosette 
shape,  tinged  with  soft  pink, 
var.  Pride  of  Rochester.  A  choice  new  sort 
that  excels  in  vigor,  in  size  of  flowers,  length  of 
panicles  and  freedom  of  bloom.  The  flowers  are 
double,  white,  tinged  outside  with  pink,  and 
open  a  week  earlier  than  those  of  other  sorts. 
D.  gracilis.  Dwarf  Deutzia.  The  beauty  of 
the  family  and  one  of  the  best  shrubs  in  our 
entire  list.  It  forms  a  low,  round  bush,  covered 
in  early  summer  with  the  most  graceful  wreaths 
of  pure  white  single  flowers.  Used  for  forcing, 
pot  culture  and  Easter  Decoration  as  well  as 
outdoor  planting. 
D.  hybrida  Lemoinei.  A  new  and  elegant  cross 
from  D.  gracilis^  as  dwarf  and  free-flowering, 
but  of  more  upright  growth  and  said  to  be  even 
finer  for  forcing.    See  Plate  XI. 
D.  scabra.  Rough-Leaved  Deutzia.  Very 
vigorous;  flowers  white,  single,  bell-shaped,  in 
small  bunches.   One  of  the  tallest-growing  sorts. 
D.  Waterii.    Beautiful  pink,  single  flowers. 
D.  Wellsii.    Flowers  white,  double. 
Hibiscus  Syriacus— The  Altheas 
Also  called  Rose  of  Sharon.  The  Altheas  bloom  profusely  in  late  summer  — 
an  almost  flowerless  time  —  and  landscape  gardeners  naturally  make  free  use  of  them. 
Their  rich  variety  of  color  makes  it  possible  to  use  them  in  large  quantities  even 
in  small  areas.  They  are  very  hardy,  easy  to  grow  in  all  soils,  and  bloom  until 
growth  stops  in  late  fall.  Grown  in  standard  form  they  make  handsome  specimens; 
planted  thickly  they  make  beautiful  flowering  screens  or  hedges.  Prune  in  winter.
