DEUTZIA, ABEL CAR Rl ERE— Bright rose-carmine; a choice sort; one of 
the best. 
DEUTZIA, DOUBLE FLOWERING— (D. Crenata flore pleno)— Flowers 
double; white, tinted with red. One of the most desirable flowering shrubs 
in cultivation. 
DEUTZIA, GRACILIS — (Slender Branched) — A very desirable dwarf- 
growing variety. Flower pure white. A valuable plant for winter blooming. 
DEUTZIA, LEMOINE’S — (D. Lemoinei) — Single white, a hardy hybrid, 
partaking to a great extent of the character of Gracilis, but of stronger 
growth. Good for forcing. 
DEUTZIA, PRIDE OF ROCHESTER— A new variety said to excel all other 
in size of the double white flower, length of panicle, profuseness of bloom 
and vigorous habit. A charming acquisition. 
DEUTZIA, WATERII — A grand new variety with very large flowers borne 
in large loose racemes; robust grower and very hardy. 
DOGWOOD, C. SANGUINEA — One of the finest variegated shrubs; of 
rapid growth; the leaves are broadly margined with white, bark bright red in 
winter. 
ELEAGNUS LONGIPES — A handsome, shapely, silver-leaved shrub, with 
ornamental reddish brown bark in winter, perfectly hardy and easy to grow. 
The bright yellow flowers appear in June on long stalks, but the greatest 
value of the shrub is in the fruit which is produced in great abundance along 
the -whole length of the branches; oval in shape, and about one-half inch 
long. Color deep orange red; very showy and attractive. The fruit is not 
only very ornamental, but has a sprightly, sharp, pleasant flavor and makes 
a delicious sauce when cooked. Eleagnus is one of the most ornamental of 
berry-bearing shrubs, and should be largely planted. 
ELDER, GOLDEN — From Holland. New and rare. When the leaves first 
appear they are bright green, but if planted where they will have plenty of 
sun they soon change to a golden green. The blossom, which resembles the 
common Elder blossoms appears in July. The best effect is produced when 
they are planted with other shrubs, thus rendering the foliage more conspicu- 
ous by the contrast. 
EXOCHORDA, PEARL BUSH— A vigorous growing shrub from China, 
forming a compact bush 10 to 12 feet high; can be trimmed to any desired 
shape. The flowers are borne in slender racemes of eight to ten florets each, 
on light and wiry branches that bend beneath their load of bloom just enough 
to be graceful. It is perfectly hardy; flowers pure white. Very useful for 
cut-flowers. 
FILBERT, PURPLE LEAF — A very conspicuous shrub, with large, dark 
purple leaves. Soon after the leaves expand they are almost black, but later 
on fade to a light purple. Valuable for planting in groups of large shrubs, to 
secure color effect. Distinct and fine.
