Flowering Scrubs. 
Our shrubs are all strong, well-rooted, transplanted stock from ope'h ground. Once 
carefully planted in suitable positions they increase in size and beauty from year to 
year, and require but little further care. The time of bloom of the different sorts ex- 
tends over nearly the whole season, though the greatest show is to be expected in spring 
and early summer.

AZALEA. 
Pontica. A fine hardy shrub, producing 
an abundance of bright yellow flowers in 
early spring. 25c. ; large, 30c. 
Mollis. A beautiful species from Japan, 
perfectly hardy, with much larger 
flowers and more varied in color than

all the shades of the orange, yellow and 
carmine. 50c. ; large, 60c. 
EXOCHORDA GRAND/FLORA. 
A hardy flowering shrub from northern 
China. The plant is entirely hardy, en- 
during from 20 to 30 degrees below zero 
without the slightest injury. It is a vigor- 
ous-growing shrub, forming a neat compact 
bush ten to twelve feet high; can bo 
trimmed into any desired shape. The flow- 
ers are borne in slender racemes of 8 to 10 
florets each, on light and wiry branches 
that bend beneath their load of bloom just 
enough to be ah - y and graceful. The petals 
arc pure white, the calyx shows a small 
dot of green in the center of each flower, 
while the unexpanded buds are like small 
round beads of pearly whiteness. It bears 
some resemblance in size and appearance 
of flower to mock orange, but the flower- 
spikes are longer and borne on slender 
branches, giving a graceful appearance to 
the bush. It will become one of the most 
popular of our hardy flowering shrubs as 
soon as its merits become known. 35c. ; 
large, 50e.
