Isaac Hicks & Son, Westbury Station, N. Y. — Shrubs 
The White Fringe flowers are only a part of its beauty. 
The dark green' massive foliage and sturdy growth give it a 
dignity surpassing most shrubs. It has been so rare that it 
has been used as an isolated specimen, but it is best in large 
groups. With the Magnolia glauca it will make harmo- 
nious and rich plantations about Long Island water-courses 
and on upland. 
Hazelnut 
American. There is no reason why the shrub- 
bery should not bear some useful fruit or 
nuts, provided the foliage is healthy and 
harmonious. Copses of Hazel are beautiful, 
even in winter, with their even-tinted haze 
of twigs. This species is native in dry and 
rocky ground. Every country boy ought 
to know how to get ahead of the chipmunks 
in gathering them in early September. A 
group on the lawn will give his suburbanite 
brother an opportunity to do the same. 
The Japanese Chestnut is free from the 
Chestnut disease and can also be used as 
a tall shrub. 
Honeysuckle • Lonicera 
The Upright, or Bush Honeysuckles, are a 
class of shrubs of the highest usefulness. 
They are always healthy, vigorous and of 
good form, sturdy and strong in appearance, 
and well clothed with foliage to the base. 
We have grown them in large quantities and 
offer them very low. We feel certain you will 
receive more than full value for the price. 
Upright. Lonicera Tatarica. When in 
bloom in early summer this is one of the 
handsomest shrubs, covered by delicate 
pink and white blossoms. In August it is 
Honeysuckle, Upright, continued 
more decorative than any other red-berried 
shrub, with its translucent coral berries. It 
is a strong, clean shrub, oak-like in its branching. 
Lonicera Morrowii. This Japanese species is very 
wide-spreading and is especially ornamental 
in flower and fruit. The flowers are pure white, 
changing to yellow. 
Fragrant. L. fragrantissima. One of the earliest 
spring-blooming shrubs, pushing forth both its 
leaves and pink flowers in early April. Some foli- 
age remains bright green until midwinter. 
L. Standishii. Frequently the snow-storms of 
early March will cover the strongly fragrant 
yellow blossoms of this shrub. 
L. Maacki. Probably this is here introduced for the 
first time in this country. It has been recently 
discovered in western China. Its pure white 
flowers are larger than those of the other upright 
Honeysuckles and the leaves larger and darker 
green. 
L. Philomela. A vigorous, upright shrub, with 
pendant pink blossoms in April. 
Horse- Chestnut • AEsculus 
Dwarf. JEsculus parvifiora; syn., macrostachya. 
There is a period between the June-blooming 
Spireas, Upright Honeysuckles, Mock Orange, 
Magnolias, Deutzias, etc., and the late summer- 
blooming Hydrangeas and Altheas, which this 
shrub fills to perfection. The tall, feathery 
spikes of bloom are the embodiment of graceful- 
ness. It is a shrub ultimately 8 feet high, but rather 
slow to attain this height and also difficult to 
propagate; therefore its rarity in nursery 
catalogues. 
Hydrangea 
The Hydrangeas are all conspicuous from mid- 
summer to autumn. They are shrubs of moderate 
height to be used in the foreground or in beds by 
themselves. Their popularity is well deserved for 
their freedom of growth and healthfulness. The 
most popular is Hydrangea paniculata grandiflora, 
with its immense heads of white flowers. Those 
Upright Honeysuckle in Arnold Arboretum. This exhibits about 
all the good qualities of a shrub for extensive planting. It has oak- 
like strength of branches and massing of lights and shadows in the 
foliage ; beautiful, fragrant flowers, and bright red berries. We have 
a large quantity of broad plants at low rates.
