CHASE NURSERIES. 
HONEYSUCKLE-UPRIGHT. — (Lonicera.) — 
This species of shrubs attains a height of from four to six feet, and has many admirers. 
FRAGRANT UPRIGHT. — (Fragrantissima. ) — A most desirable variety, with dark, 
almost evergreen foliage. Small, very fragrant flowers. Blooms in May, before 
the leaves form. A valuable shrub. 
RED TARTARIAN.— (Tartarica rubra.)— A well known sort. Blooms in May. 
Bright pink flowers. 
WHITE TARTARIAN.— (Tartarica alba.)— Like the preceding, except the flowers 
are a dull white color. 
The addition of the Paniculata Grandiflora has given the hydrangea a high rank. 
Others of the new sorts are exceedingly beautiful and showy shrubs, but as they 
are not entirely hardy we cannot recommend them as highly as we can the Pani- 
culata Grandiflora. The latter variety has our unqualified endorsement. 
OTAKSA. — Foliage a deep green. Produces immense clusters of rose-colored flowers 
in profusion during July. A very free bloomer. Should be planted in tubs and 
stored in the cellar through the winter, and placed beneath trees, or in some shady 
' situation, during the summer. 
PANICULATA GRANDIFLORA.— Absolutely hardy; thrives in all soils; grows 
rapidly and blossoms profusely. The flowers are pure white, afterwards changing 
to pink, and are borne in large pyramidal trusses, often more than a foot long, 
and six to eight inches in diameter. Begins to bloom early in August, and con- 
tinues in bloom for several weeks. Wherever known it is conceded to be one of 
the finest flowering shrubs cultivated. It is equally valuable for planting singly 
or massing in beds. We heartily commend it to all lovers of the beautiful. It 
will give great satifaction. Occupies but little space. Attains a height of from 
three to five feet. Should be headed in every spring. 
THOMAS HOGG. — Mav be planted in the open ground if slightly protected during 
the winter. It blossoms from July until September. The flower is pure white. 
A free bloomer. 
JAPAN QUINCE.— (Cydonia Japonica.)— One of the best known shrubs in cultiva- 
tion. Very ornamental in the early spring, as its bright scarlet flowers completely 
cover the branches before the leaves are formed. Makes a good hedge. 
LI LAC — (Syringa. )— 
Lilacs are too well known to need an extended description. They are hardy, free- 
blooming shrubs, and if the Chionanthus-leaved is included in the collection, the 
season of blooming extends over quite a period. 
CHIONANTHUS-LEAVED.— (Josikasa.)— Grows in tree form. Fine foliage. Pur- 
ple flowers. Blooms in June, later than any other sort. 
LARGE FLOWERED WHITE.— (Var. alba, grandiflora.)— The best white, 
v/ PURPLE-COMMON. — (Vulgaris.) — The old family sort. 
PLUM — (Prunus.)— 
With the addition of Prunus Pissardii, the flowering plums are entitled to lavish 
praise as highly attractive and desirable shrubs.
