Ornamental Shrubs, Plants and Vines 
AMONG the ornamentals in our nursery are some of the finest sorts in cultivation. These 
add a charm to the ornamental planting which is unequaled by annuals of short Ufe. 
In the following list are plants for practically every situation. Every home needs orna- 
mentals. There is nothing wliich can be done to a home, whether in the city or on the farm 
which gives the passer-by a better opinion of the folks who Uve within, than an attractive 
grouping of ornamentals. An open lawn, bordered by a well selected assortment of ornamental 
shrubs and plants, adds materially to the value of the home grounds. 
Ampelopsis Veitchii. 
Achillea. Yarrow. One of the very best 
white flowered border plants, resem- 
bling Pompon Chrysanthemums. Erect 
and compact with full ball-shaped flow- 
ers; pure white. 
Almond (Prunus), Double Rose Flower- 
ing. (Japonioa rubra H. pi.) A beautiful 
small shrub bearing in May, before the 
leaves appear; small, double rose-like 
flowers, closely set upon the tw igs. 
Althea, or Rose of Sharon. (Hibiscus.) 
Altheas are fine, free-growing flowering 
shrubs of very easy cultivation. Desir- 
able on account of flowering in August 
and September, when nearly every other 
tree or shrub is out of bloom. Colors 
blue, pink, purple, red and white.

ering. (Hibiscus, flore plono folia varie- 
gata.) A conspicuous variety with foli- 
age finely marked with light yellow.

est variegated-leaved shrubs. 
Ampelopsis, Veitchii. (Japan Creeper, Bos- 
ton Ivy.) Leaves overlap one another, 
form a dense sheet of green. It grows 
rapidly and clings to wall or fence with 
the tenacity of Ivy; the foliage is very 
handsome in summer, and changes to 
crimson scarlet in autumn. For cover- 
ing walls, stumps of trees, rockeries and 
brick and stone structures, it can be 
specially recommended.
