little more vigorous. Flowers pure white. Very 
free flowering. 
D, "Pride of Rochester.*' Tall growing. Flowers 
large and double; white, slightly tinged pink 
on back of petals. 
D. rosea. One of our daintiest and most graceful 
flowering shrubs. Branches are extremely slen- 
der and arching, covered with a profusion of 
small, beautifully formed flowers, which are 
bright pink in the bud and pale flesh when 
fully opened. Altogether a most charming 
plant.

neath. Flowers small but numerous, yellowish

nearly an inch long, on elongated stalks. The

FORSYTHIA (Golden Bell.) Japanese shrubs bear- 
ing golden yellow flowers very early in spring. 
Flowers have four slender, spreading petals 
and appear in small clusters along the

and vigorous growth. Petals more slender.

F. virdissima, Lai'ge shrub with green, erect 
branches. Leaves very dark green, 3 to 6 inches 
long; flowers about one inch long. 
HYDRANGEA. Well-known shrubs bearing enor- 
mous cymes or panicles of pink or white flowers. 
They thrive best in partial shade. Hot sun is 
particularly harmful to H. hortensis and its 
varieties. We are often asked about "Blue 
Hydrangeas." The pink kinds can be made to 
bear blue flowers by mixing in plenty of iron 
filings, old nails or any scrap iron around the 
roots. 
H. arborescens sterilis. (Hills of Snow,) Native 
American shrub, considered in the East to be 
the best acquisition in years. Cymes shaped 
like our common pink variety, but snow white. 
Blooms from early to late summer. Of great 
value for sections too cold for the hortensis 
type. 
Each 
Potted, 1^ to 2 ft $1.00 
The Philadelpbus Is Loaded With a Mass of Fragrant 
Blossoms in the Spring; Months. The Pronounced

Accounts for the Name Mock Orange
