WEIGELIA ROSEA. An elegant shrub 
with beautiful rose-colored flowers. Blooms 
very profusely. June. It is erect in habit 
with good foliage. The height is five feet. 
Very hardy. I find this to be really hardy 
in Nebraska and does not need winter pro¬ 
tection. Each, 20c; by mail, 25c. 
WEXGELIA, EVA RATHKE. A new va¬ 
riety from Germany and probably the best 
and finest of all Weigelias. Flowers are of 
brilliant crimson color, a beautiful and dis¬ 
tinct shade. Blooms nearly all summer and 
when in full bloom the whole plant fairly 
glows with color. Grows 5 feet tall. Each, 
30c; by mail, 35c. 
BURNING BUSH. Grows about 6 to 8 
feet high. Has corky winged branches; a 
fine shrub for solitary plantings as well 
as for massing. The rich red and crimson 
leaves being very showy in the fall. Blooms 
yellow-red in June. 2 to 3 feet, each, 20c; 
by mail, 25c. 
SNOWBERRY, RED (Coralberry). A 
beautiful, low-growing shrub. Slender, 
drooping branches, covered with small red 
berries in thick clusters along the stems. 
2 to 3 feet, 20c each. Postpaid, 25c each. 
TAMARIX APRICANA. Has, like all 
Tamarix, very pretty feathery leaves of a 
bright green color, and pink flowers. This 
variety is not hardy here in Nebraska, 
freezes to the ground every winter, but 
always comes up again in the spring and 
generally gets to be 6 to 8 feet high by 
fall. Each, 20c; by mail, 25c. 
NEW RED LEAVED JAPANESE BAR¬ 
BERRY. It is similar in all respects to the 
green-leaved Japanese Barberry which is so 
popular for mixing in the shrubbery bor¬ 
der, as single specimens, or for planting 
in clumps on the lawn, as well as for 
foundation plantings and for hedges, but 
the foliage of this new variety is of a rich, 
lustrous, bronzy red, similar to the richest 
red-leaved Japanese Maples. However, un¬ 
like these and other colored shrubs in 
which the coloring fades or disappears en¬ 
tirely as the season advances, this new 
Barberry becomes more brilliant and gor¬ 
geous throughout the summer, and in the 
fall its foliage changes to vivid orange, 
scarlet, and red shades, more brilliant and 
more effective than in the ordinary Japan¬ 
ese Barberry. In this coloring it is un¬ 
equaled by any other shrub and is followed 
by the same brilliant scarlet berries com¬ 
mon to the type, which remain on the 
plant the entire winter. 20c; by mail, 25c 
eaoh. 
DEUTZIA. A small dwarf shrub with 
spreading branches, usually growing about 
3 feet tall. Leaves bright green, 2 to 3 
inches long, flowers pure white, in large 
clusters or panicles. Of vigorous growth, 
very free flowering and of easy culture. 
Each, 30o; by mall, 35c.

EVERBLOOMING BUTTERFLY BUSH. 
This shrub from a young plant set out 
either In the spring or fall, will mature to 
full size the first summer, producing a 
handsome bush, which the first year often 
attains a height of four feet. It produces 
long, graceful stems, which terminate in 
tapering panicles of beautiful lilac-colored 
flowers that are of miniature size and 
borne by the hundreds on a flower head 
which is frequently 10 inches long. A 
single plant the first season will throw 
out as many as 50 flower spikes, which in¬ 
creases greatly in number during the suc¬ 
ceeding years. Each, 20c; by mail, 25c. 
BUSH HONEYSUCKLE, PINK TAR¬ 
TARIAN. The best known of all Bush 
Honeysuckles, and in our estimation, the 
finest variety of all. Grows to a height 
of 8 to 10 feet, with upright, somewhat 
spreading branches and bright green foli¬ 
age. The flowers are borne freely in May 
and June, are of bright pink color, fol¬ 
lowed by showy, red berries, which ripen 
in midsummer, and cling to the bush for 
several weeks. Each, 25c; by mall, 30c. 
SIBERIAN or RED DOGWOOD. Free 
growing, 6 to 10 feet tall and very hardy; 
forms a small, handsome tree in some sit¬ 
uations; its clusters of small, white 
flowers in early summer are very dainty, 
and its bark is a showy dark red in winter. 
All the Siberian Dogwoods bear in early 
fall a profusion of whitish-blue berries, 
making them distinctly ornamental after 
the flowers have gone. A very brilliant 
shrub in the winter and early spring when 
the bark is intensely colored. 2 to 3 foot 
trees. Each, 30o; by mall, 35o.
