•bl.UU 
A magniflcent .Japanese variety with mammoth double blossoms 
larger than our New Double Paeonias. It is impossible to imagine 
anything more beautiful than one of these shrubs loaded with its 
great btmches of snow white flowers. It is Indeed a grand shrub, 
and without doubt a most valuable variety for this country, as it 
has proven to be equally as hardy as the Lilac. Few hardy shrubs 
grow with such rapidity or blossom so young as this imigniflcent 
Japanese Snowball. We have seen the young plants heavily laden 
wit h the large clusters of flowers, and each year only iulds greatly 
to its l>eauty. We cannot too highly recommend it to every one of 
our friends who desire a line flowering plant for a permanent 
situation. Extra fine stock. Price 40c each, 3 for 91 .OO.
