DEUTZIA 
The deutzias are of Japanese origin, extremely hardy, luxuriant foliage, very attractive 
flowers, and very fine habit. All things considered, they have bat few equals for 
\< DOUBLE-WHITE FLOWERING. — (Candidissima.) — One of the best. The flowers 
are snow white, of exquisite beauty, and valuable lor boquets. Blooms in June. 
About five to six feet high when fully grown. 
DOUBLE-FLOWERING. — (Crenata.) — Double white flowers tinged with rose. Blooms 
the middle of June. Grows to a height of only about two feet. 
\S SLENDER-BRANCHED. — (Gracilis. ) — A graceful and charming shrub, with pure 
white flowers. Blooms the middle of June. Two feet high when fully grown. 
EXOCHORDA 
GRANDIFLORA. — One of natures choicest productions. The broad, oval leaves, set 
on its numerous slender branches, and the rare beauty of its bell shaped, waxen, 
pure white flowers, wh ich are borne in great profusion in May and June, combine to 
render it unsurpassed for a specimen shrub. Abootsix feet high when fully grown. 
ELDER — (Sambucus. ) 
Hardy, easily grown shrubs, and the new varieties are decidedly picturesque. They 
grow to be from four to six feet high. 
GOLDEN.— (Aurea.)— From Holland. New and rare. When they first appear, the 
leaves are bright green, but if planted where they will have plenty of sun, they 
soon change to a golden green. The blossom, which resembles the common elder 
bloom, appears in July. The best effect is produced when they are planted with 
other shrubs, that the foliage may be rendered more conspicuous by the contrast. 
VARIEGATED-LEAVED. — (Variegata. ) — A rapid growing shrub, with foliage edged 
with yellow. Small white blossom. Blooms in June. Very beautiful. 
FORSYTH I A 
Although not extensively planted, the forsythias are worthy of attention. They make 
shrubs of about six to eight feet in height. Very beautiful. 
VIRIDISSIMA.— An elegant, hardy shrub, from Japan. Bark and foliage a dark 
green color. Beautiful yellow flowers. Blooms in May, before the leaves appear- 
WEEPING. — (Suspensa.) — A new variety from Japan, with long drooping branches, 
and large yellow flowers. Blooms in April. Its peculiar weeping habit renders 
it especially attractive. 
FRINGE — (Chionanthus.) 
The fringes are among the most popular and satisfactory large growing shrubs. They 
are very hardy, do well in most any soil, and when in bloom they call forth uni- 
y versal admiration. 
PURPLE.— (Rhuscotinus.)— Also known as Purple Mist, Smoke Tree and Smoke 
Plant. Decidedly ornamental. Covered during mid summer with loose panicles 
of curious hair or fringe-like flowers, giving it a mist-like and novel appearance. 
WHITE.— (Virginica. )— A superb shrub, attaining a size when fully grown of from 
ten to twenty feet. Has a compact, roundish form, large glossy leaves, and droop- 
ing racemes of pure white flowers. Blossoms in May and June. Should be in 
every collection.
