i CHOICE HARDY SHRUBS j 



Sambucus- Elder 



Nigra aurea {Golden Elder). One of our very finest shrubs with 

 beautiful yellow foliage. The color is remarkably bright, rich, 

 and constant. It gives a splendid contrast in the shrubbery 

 border and is of good strong growth. 50c each. 



Spiraea Van Houttei 



Spiraea 



Anthony Waterer. A valuable variety; color bright crimson. 



It is of dwarf, dense growth, never exceeding 30 inches in height; 



in bloom during the entire summer season. 

 Billiardi. Tall growing. Pink flowers in late summer. 

 Prunif olia fl. pi. {Doable Flowering Bridal Wreath). A favorite 



variety and one of the best; it is a beautiful shrub of medium 



size with double white flowers in May. 

 Thunbergi. One of the most charming of all low-growing 



shrubs, with fine delicate foliage, and a profusion of small white 



flowers in spring. 

 Van Houttei. The grandest of all the white Spiraeas; it is of 



compact habit and a beautiful ornament for the lawn at any 



season, but when in flower it is a complete fountain of white 



blooms, the foliage hardly showing. Grows 6 feet high. 

 Any of the above Spiraeas: 50c each. 



Symphoricarpos— Snowberry 



Chenaulti. This is the choicest of the red Snowberries. It is by 

 nature a very graceful shrub growing into a shapely plant about 

 3 feet high and 5 feet in diameter. Has small foliage. Bears in 

 the fall an abundance of deep pink fruits. 50c each. 



Racemosus {White Snowberry). A well-known dwarf shrub with 

 small pink blooms and large white berries that hang on the plants 

 the greater part of the winter. 50c each. 



Double-flowering Syringa or Lilac — Mme. Marie Lemoine 



Syringa— Lilac 



Common Purple {Syringa vulgaris). The old fashioned fragrant 



favorite. 50c each. 

 Common White (5. vulgaris alba). Fragrant white flowers 



borne profusely on vigorous plants. 50c each. 

 Charles X. A strong, rapid growing variety with large shining 



leaves and rather loose trusses composed of large, reddish 



purple blooms. 



Japonica. An elegant Japanese species eventually growing into 

 a good sized tree. Creamy white blooms in large panicles pro- 

 duced a month later than other varieties. 



Josikaea {Hungarian Lilac). A distinct species of stout erect 

 growth with dark shining leaves and beautiful showy purple 

 flowers. The bushes are in bloom in late June. 



Mme. Marie Lemoine. The finest double white lilac yet intro- 

 duced. The individual flowers which resemble miniature 

 tuberoses are of immense size. They are delicately scented. 

 The individual flower trusses are exceptionally large yet well 

 proportioned. Splendid for garden display and for cutting. 



President Grevy. Double purplish blue flowers in massive 

 trusses. 



William Robinson. A very double Lilac with crimson-pink 

 buds opening into a beautiful deep violet-mauve. 



Any of the above except where noted: 75c each. 



Stephanandra 



Flexuosa. Of graceful fountain-like habit with finely and deli- 

 cately cut leaves which in the autumn assume brilliant reddish 

 tints. The flowers are creamy white. 50c each. 



Tamarix— Tamarisk 

 Africana. A tall-growing slender shrub of rather irregular form 



which adds to its artistic value. Has fine small feathery foliage. 



The branches are completely covered by a mass of delicate pink 



blooms during May, before the foliage appears. A very valuable 



and unique shrub. 

 Hispida aestivalis. A distinct Tamarix covered with delicate 



soft pink sprays of flowers during July and August — a time when 



the shrubbery border is comparatively bare of flowers. 

 Indica. Pale pink flowers in late summer and autumn. A very 



strong grower with long, slender racemes. 



Any of the above: 50c each.
