FORSYTHIA  ♦  GOLDEN  BELL 
Familiar  hardy  shrubs  that  burst  into  bloom  as 
winter  is  leaving.  The  bright  golden  yellow,  star- 
like flowers  wrap  themselves  along  the  naked 
branches  in  a  wealth  of  bloom  that  is  especially 
bright  and  cheerful  at  such  an  early  season.  The 
"Golden  Bells"  grow  easily,  attain  a  height  of 
8  feet,  and  are  ornamental  in  leaf  as  well  as 
flower.  They  are  useful  for  almost  any  purpose, 
but  indispensable  in  groups  and  masses.

HIBISCUS  SYRIACUS 
Althea,  or  Rose  of  Sharon 
Familiar  shrubs,  deserving  of  more  popularity  than  they  receive.  Altheas  will  grow  almost  any- 
where from  Ontario  southward,  and  their  abundance  of  bloom  comes  at  an  almost  flowerless  time,  from 
July  to  September.  There  is  a  wide  diversity  of  color  in  the  flowers  of  different  varieties,  although  all 
of  the  plants  are  of  the  same  upright  character  and  grow  about  12  feet  in  height,  excepting  where 
noted.  They  should  be  used  in  every  shrubbery  border,  are  valuable  for  specimens,  and  make  beautiful 
screens  and  hedges. 
Six  plants  of  the  same  variety  will  be  supplied  at  the  price  per  dozen.  25  at  the  price  per  hundred,  250  at 
the  price  per  1,000
