Purple Fringe or Smoke Tree. A desirable shrub; much admired for its 
curious fringe-like flowers, that cover the whole plant, becoming like a 
cloud of smoke later in the season. 35 cts. each. 
Syringa or Mock Orange. A desirable shrub, of vigorous habit, with fine, 
rich green foliage and beautiful white fragrant flowers, in dense clus- 
ters, in such profusion as to bear the branches down when in flower in 
June. 35 cts. each. 
HYDRANGEA PANICULATA GRANDIFLORA. 
This is the most popular hardy shrub of the day, and one of the eas- 
iest to grow. It does well in any and all soils, but the flowers will be larg- 
er and finer if given good, ricli soil. The flowers are in immense panicles, 
creamy white when first opening, changing to pure white when fully open 
then turning to pink and bronze as the flower grows older. It. blooms in 
August, and remains in bloom until heavy frosts. At least half of the pre- 
vious year’s growtn should be cut back each spring, as the flowers are much 
larger and finer when treated in this manner. We have a fine stock of ex- 
tra strong plants at 50 cts. each, $4 per dozen; smaller plants, 25 cts. and 
35 cts. each, $2.50 and $3.50 per dozen.
