Hardy Shrubs 
The following list of Hardy Shrubs will be found most desirable for the southern planter. 
They are all well adapted to our dry seasons, and will give abundant bloom in their season. 
No yard is complete without at least a few of them, as they fill up space that nothing else will 
do as well; they are also desirable for cemetery planting, as they will thrive with little atten- 
tion. The plants are strong and of the right size to plant for sure growth. A great mistake 
is often made in planting overgrown shrubs. These are of the proper size for planting with 
success. All shrubs go by express, as they are too heavy for the mails. 
ALTHAEAS 
(Rose of Sharon) 
25 cts. 
Alba plena. Large, double white flowers, 
blotched with rose. 
New Banner. Flowers as large as a rose ; 
clear rosy pink, striped rich crimson. Blooms 
the first year. 
Double Purple. Double flowers; reddish 
purple. 
Totus albus. Finest single white. 
Calycanthus 
(Sweet-scented Shrub) 
Flowers chocolate color, very double and 
deliciously fragrant; remains in bloom for a 
longtime; very desirable. 25 cts. 
CRAPE MYRTLE 
Pretty ever-blooming shrubs, that are a 
mass of bloom the entire season; they are 
fine for yard or cemetery planting, and make 
a pretty hedge when planted about 18 inches 
apart. 
Crimson and Purple. 25 cts. 
Pure White. 50 cts. 
DEUTZIA 
Crenata £1. pi. Flowers double, white 
tinged with pink, in racemes 4 or 5 inches 
long; one of our finest hardy shrubs. 25 cts. 
Lemoinei. New. Without doubt one of 
the most important new plants offered in many 
years. Its flowers are produced in broad - 
based, cone-shaped heads of from 20 to 20 
flowers each, and are of the purest white. 25c. 
Hydrangea paniculata 
grandiflora 
Most desirable, effective and popular orna- 
mental shrub extant, and its many distinct 
and striking qualities at once commend it to 
general favor for yard or lawn decoration. 
The bush comes into bloom in July and Au- 
gust, yielding profuse, massive cone-shaped 
flowers of the purest white, which, as the 
season advances, change to delicate pink, and 
later on to rich coppery red. Seen in the 
yard or on the lawn while in full bloom, it is 
truly an imposing spectacle, the prodigal dis- 
play of white affording such a charming con 
trast with the green of its surroundings. The 
period of bloom being late, and prolonged for 
two or three months, at a season when other 
flowers are scarce and inferior, it serves to 
impart a degree of summer freshness to the 
landscape. See illustration, page 30. 25 cts.
