PHILADELPHUS COLLECTION 
This includes all sorts of deciduous shrubs commonly called Mock Oranges, 
often erroneously called Syringas. All the varieties of this collection bear white 
flowers in late spring. The blossoms vary considerably in size, fragrance, and 
the profusion In which they are borne. The most interesting sorts in thia 
family are the group of dwarf or medium sized shrubs commonly known as 
"Lemolne's Hybrid Syringas or Mock Oranges." 
LILAC COLLECTION 
This collection consists of many species native to various parts of the world. 
These species are all interesting and many are of great beauty. Included In 
this collection are a race known as the French Hybrid Lilacs. They are crosses 
and developments of the common purple and white forms. Their value lies In 
the fragrance and the various combinations of color to be found in their 
flowers — from paper white, through cream white, pink, lavender, Iliac, blue, 
and pale purple, to exceedingly deep shades of red and purple. 
DEUTZIA COLLECTION 
Consists of dwarf medium and large-growing sorts. The flowers are mostly 
white ; a few are pink ; some are white with pink on the outside of the petals. 
New varieties of Deutzias have recently been introduced and in a few seasons 
we shall have a much more extensive list of them than at present 
COTONEASTER COLLECTION 
Few recent additions to the horticulture of America have met with as great 
popularity as have the Chinese Cotoneasters Introduced by Ernest Henry Wilson, 
Asslsant Director of Arnold Arboretum. These shrubs are all valuable for their 
profusion of flowers and fruits, and some for their glossy, semi-persistent leaves. 
They vary from low-spreading shrubs to medium and large ones. We take great 
pleasure in presenting the group of Cotoneasters to those who appreciate new 
and desirable plants. 
ROSE COLLECTIONS 
There are several thousand different roses known at the present time. Only 
a few hundred of them, however, are now being grown. Many are practically 
duplicates of other roses; others are mere imitations and developments of 
questionable worth. The best selection can be made from a few dozen sorts 
at the most. For this reason we do not carry a greatly extended list, but confine 
our stock to the kinds having real merit, and suitable for outdoor use. Our 
stock is sufficiently diversified to provide all the known range of color in roses. 
We take great pains to retain those older sorts which have not yet been surpassed, 
and to add to them the worth while newer developments. 
Persons interested in any of these collections will find the varieties of which 
they consist listed in our seasonal price lists. As our stock varies from season 
to season, on account of the addition of new and desirable varieties, be sure 
you have a copy of the latest. They are issued March 1st and September 1st 
of each year. A post card request will bring you a copy.
