Illustrated and Descriptive Catalogue. 
JAPAN TREE — A remarkable new 
specie from Japan, becoming a good 
sized tree; foliage dark-green, glossy; 
flowers s.i.all, feathery, but formed 
in great panicles, often 18 inches 
long, very light straw color; blooms 
a month later than other lilacs. 
WEEPING — New- — A beautiful weep 
ing tree; produces large clusters of 
beautiful, intensely sweet flowers. A 
great acquisition. 
Plum (Prunus). 
DOUBLE FLOWERING— (P. Triloba) 
— A very desirable shrub, introduced 
from Japan. Flowers semi-double, of 
delicate pink, upwards of an inch in 
diameter, thickly set; hardy; flowers 
in May. 
PRUNUS PISSARDII — The tree is a 
decided contrast in itself. The leaves, 
as they first appear, on the tips are 
a beautiful orange color, and they 
mature to a rich purple, clear and 
distinct, growing darker as the sea- 
son advances. The leaves remain 
until late in the fall — a decided con- 
trast to other shrubs.

habit, with short, dark, thick green 
leaves, which remain on the plant 
until very late in the autumn. One 
of the best for the lawn.

est of any of this class; distinct and 
fine. 
GOLDEN CALIFORNIA — (Lygustrum 
Ovalifolium, Robustum Aureurn) —

plant that grows deeper in color the 
entire season, and in fall is truly a 
plant of gold. 
Quince, Japan (Cydonia).

flowers in great profusion, early in 
the spring. One of the best hardy

mental hedge.

cis in the latter part of May. 
JAPANESE — (Virburnum Plicatum)

deep green foliage, of handsome form

those of the common sort. A very 
desirable shrub. 
Spiraea. 
ANTHONY WATERER— This beauti- 
ful variety has the same habits as its 
parent, the Bumalda. It blooms 
about the close of June, continuing 
throughout the entire season. It is

or a single specimen, where a low, 
bushy shrub is required.

colored; blooms nearly all summer. 
BUMALDA — New, and considered one 
of the finest of this class. Flowers

variety of dwarf habit; very fine; 
remains in flower all summer. 
GOLDEN-LEAVED— (Foliis Aureis)— 
A beautiful dwarf plant with golden- 
yellow foliage. Tt keeps its color the 
entire season, and creates a very 
pleasing effect among other shrubs.

beautiful shrub from Japan, with 
double white flowers in May. 
REEVESII, or LANCE-LEAVED— A 
charming shrub, with narrow-pointed 
leaves and large, round clusters of 
white flowers that covers the whole 
plant. 
VAN HOUTTEI— (S. Van Houtteii)— 
The most showy of all the Spiraeas, 
and one of the very best flowering 
shrubs in cultivation. The plant is 
a rather tail, upright grower, with 
long, slender branches that droop 
gracefully with their weight of fo- 
liage and flowers. Flowers pure 
white, in great clusters and w'horls, 
forming cylindrical plumes two or 
three feet long. This is one of the 
hardiest of all the Spiraeas. See
