Hydrangea Paniotlata Grandiflora 



Erica (Heath) 



Most of these Heaths are compact, low-growing, and extremely 

 useful for rockeries. The small foliage is densely arranged around 

 the wiry stems, and either in full bloom or in mid-winter they make 

 a very pretty picture. Give some protection the first winter to 

 acclimatize them. Semi-shady location. 



Vagans {Cornish Heath). Compact growing evergreen Shrub 

 with dark green small foliage and pale purplish red flowers in 

 August and September; 12 inches. A good rock plant for a 

 semi-shaded position. 



Vulgaris (Calluna vulgaris). {Scotch Heather). A dense-growing 

 Shrub, with erect branches, covered with short, closely lapped 

 leaves. The pretty, bell-shaped flowers are rosy lavender and 

 occur in great profusion toward tops of the shoots. 



— Alba. Pure white. 



— — Aurea. A pretty gold leaved form of the white variety. 



— Rubra. Rosy carmine. 



Strong plants, 60 cts. each; one each of the five varieties for $2.50. 



Euonymus 



Alata {Corkbark). A Shrub different in character from others, 

 having an individuality of its own. It is particularly orna- 

 mental and interesting on account of its curious corky bark. The 

 small yellow flowers of the spring are followed by attractive red 

 berries in the fall. It is also valuable on account of its bright 

 scarlet autumn foliage which makes it very conspicuous in the 

 fall. Strong plants, 75 cts. each. 



Europaeus {Burning Bush). A conspicuous Shrub which in the 

 autumn and winter is loaded with scarlet seed-pods from which 

 orange colored berries hang on slender threads. 75 cts. each. 



Forsythia (Golden Bell) 



Spectabilis. Strong, tall growing with very large flowers completely 



covering the stems with its golden-yellow bloom. 

 Suspensa {Weeping Golden Bell). A tall Shrub of willowy growth, the 



branches gracefully arching, covered with golden bells in early spring. 



Viridissima {Golden Bell). Strong erect habit; bright yellow bell like 

 flowers in early spring. 



Any of the above 50 cts. each. 



Halesia (Silver BeU or Snowdrop Tree) 



Tetraptera. One of the most desirable tall Shrubs, with pretty bell- 

 shaped snowdrop-like white flowers in May. 75 cts. each. 



Hydrangea ( Hardy Shrubby Hydrangea) 

 Arbcrescens Grandiflora {Snowball Hydrangea). This magnificent 

 perfectly hardy American Shrub has snow-white blossoms of largest size. 

 One of its most valuable characteristics is its coming into bloom just 

 after the passing of all the early Spring-blooming Shrubs, flowering 

 from early June until late July, making it valuable in any garden. 

 50 cts. each. 



Paniculata Grandiflora. Without doubt the best known and most 

 popular summer flowering Shrub in cultivation. The flowers, which are 

 borne in dense pyramidal panicles a foot long, in the greatest profusion, 

 are white when they first open, but gradually change to rose color, and 

 remain in good condition for weeks. 

 Fine bush plants, 50 cts. each. 



Standard or Tree-shaped plants which make beautiful specimens for the 

 lawn or garden, $1.00 each.

 profusion of pale pink bell-shaped flowers in June. Strong plants
