F. & F. Nurseries, 



IvIGUSTRUM (Privet). 



* Ovalifolium ( Calif ornicum, 8 ft.) — This is the one commonly called Japanese Privet, 



and which has become so popular for ornamental hedging. In sheltered places it 

 is evergreen. It makes a fine, large, specimen shrub, holding its leaves late into 

 winter. The flowers are white, in spikes. 

 Tricolor (7 ft.) - A variety of the above, beautifully marked with j^ellow, green and 

 white. It is an extremely ornamental shrub and the colors do not fade out in sum- 

 mer as is the case with many colored foliage plants. 



lyONICBRA (Bush Honeysuckle). 



* Fragrantissima (6 ft.) — This Chinese shrub is greatly valued for its exceedingly 



sweet-scented, pinkish white flowers, which appear in the earliest days of spring. 

 It retains its leaves nearly or quite all winter. We would be justified in classing 

 it as evergreen. 



*Tartarica (Upright Honeysuckle, 5 ft.)— In colors of pink, red and white; very 

 handsome and attractive shrubs in flower and fruit, and deserving more extensive 

 use everywhere. 



Xylostetim (Fly Honeysuckle, 5 ft.) — This makes a large bush, has downy looking 

 leaves, yellow flowers, in pairs, in mid-May. It is among the first shrubs to push 

 into leaf in spring. 



MYRICA (Bayberry). 



Cerifera (Wax Myrtle, 2 ft.) — Foliage deep green, almost evergreen, flowers in May 

 of a reddish color, followed in autumn by bunches of seed covered with a grayish, 

 waxy substance. The shrub will flourish in the poorest soil, and most valuable for 

 sea shore planting 



PAVIA (Dwarf Horse Chestnut). 



Parviflora (Macrostachya, 5 ft.) — A much valued shrub, because of its flowering in 

 July, when flowering shrubs are scarce, as well as for its beauty. It makes a flat- 

 fish round-headed bush, and from the apex of each shoot a panicle of white flow- 

 ers is produced. From the flowers long red stamens project. 



P^ONIA. 



Moutan (Tree Paeonia, 2 ft.)— Of very slow growth, but hardy and enduring; 



flowers rosy-pink, large and attractive. Requires very rich soil.

 *Coronarius (6 ft.)— Strong-growing, rounded habit, hardy foliage, fine, rich and 

 green ; pure white, very fragrant flowers in June, slightly resembling those of the 

 orange tree. One of the best. 



* Aurea (Golden-Leaved, 3 ft.)— A very pretty plant of medium size with golden- 

 yeJlow foliage. It retains its color, the entire season, and is valuable for creating 

 pleasing and striking contrasts with both green and purple-leaved shrubs. 



* Grandiflorus (8 ft.) — A large flowered strong growing sort. 



PRINOS. 



VirticiliatllS (Black Alder, 5 ft. )— A fine native shrub, particularly attractive in late 

 fall and during most of the winter, on account of its abundant bright red berries.

*Pissardi (8 ft.) — The finest purple-leaved small tree or shrub of recent intro- 

 duction . The young branches are a very dark purple ; the leaves when young are 

 a lustrous crimson, changing to a dark purple, and retain this beautiful tint till 

 they drop late in autumn. It transplants easily, and is worthy of wide dissemi- 

 nation. Flowers, small, white, single.

 desirable addition to hardy shrubs ; flowers double, of a delicate pink, upwards of 

 an inch in diameter, thickly set on long slender branches ; flowers in May.
