AMUR TAMARIX. We have obtained from Professor Yeager the 
very hardiest strain of this handsome shrub that we have seen. 
It is perfectly hardy here and very drouth resistant. Foliage 
like that of a cedar tree, twigs tipped with spikes of pink 
flowers in late summer. We consider this one of our outstand¬ 
ing recent introductions. Price, each, 65c; 5 for $3.00 
BLFI AI.O or YELLOW FLOWERING CURRANT—RIBES AUREUM 
One of the very hardiest and best shrubs for the Northwest* a 
native of our Little Missouri Bad Lands. In early May it is cov¬ 
ered with very fragrant and handsome yellow flowers which are 
succeeded by a large black fruit that makes excellent jelly or jam 
and is exceedingly ornamental as well. Foliage takes on bright 
shades m the Fall. Each, 35c; 10, $3.00. 
TARTAREAN BUSH HONEYSUCKLE. The upright or bush form 
of the Honeysuckle and noted for the great profusion and fra- 
grance of its flowers. Growing from 8 to 12 feet high (according 
to location), these tall growing shrubs are extremely suitable for 
shrubbery clusters and for individual planting purposes espe¬ 
cially in exposed locations, as they are the last word in hardiness 
For hedges they are unsurpassable, being very ornamental in a 
trained hedge and will stand clipping to any desired shape or

CARAGANA FRL TEX, A little known shrub, has larger leaves 
than the pea tree and larger blossoms as well which come a 
little later in the season. Valuable as a 
shrub since it grows only half as tall as 
the pea tree. 18 to 24 in. Each, 50c; 
SPIREA, Froebeli. Blooms in mid-summer. This is a spirea of the bu- 
malda type hut somewhat larger than Anthony Waterer and in our 
opinion better adapted to more severe conditions. Flowers are a hand¬ 
some pinkish red, a trifle lighter than the Waterer. Blooms on new 
wood and remains in flower for a long period. 12 to 18 in., each, 30c; 
10, $2.50.

count of the Fall colors of its foliage. A beautiful low hedge.
