BERBER1S (Barberry) FORSYTHIA (Golden Bell). 
Berberis. Thunbergii. (Japanese Barberry.) 
One of the most beautiful shrubs either for 
hedging or general purposes. It is of a

touched with the shears. The foliage is 
beautiful at all times, and in the fall turns 
to a most brilliant crimson color. The 
plant is literally covered with bright scar¬ 
let berries all the fall and winter. It sel¬ 
dom growls over 4 ft. high. It is fine for 
the edge of a terrace and along roads and 
walks.

Berberis. Vulgaris Purpurea. Purple-leaved 
Barberry.) Especially remarkable for its 
dense, upright growth and its brilliant 
purple foliage and fruit. When full grown 
plants attain a height of 4 to 5 ft., but 
c-au be kept at any height below this by 
shearing. It is very valuable as a border 
for walks and drives. Splendid for a 
hedge, also good as single specimens on 
the lawn. Endures partial shade and is 
perfectly hardy. 
IS to 24 inches, 50 cents each, $5.00 per doz. 
Specimen bushes, 2 to 3 feet, 75 cents each. 
DEUTZIA. 
AVe are indebted to Japan for this valuable 
genus of plants. Their hardihood, fine habit, 
luxuriant foliage and profusion of attrac¬ 
tive flowers places them among the most 
beautiful and most popular ot flowering 
shrubs at the present time. Flowers in June 
and through July and August. 
A very choice Shrub; native of China and 
Japan. The flowers are drooping, golden 
yellow, and appear very early in the Spring 
before the leaves. The best of our early 
flowering shrubs. Admired by thousands.

riety. Growth upright, foliage deep green.

HYDRANGEA—The Hydrangeas. 
Hydrangea Arborescens Grandiflora (Snow¬ 
ball Hydrangea). This magnificent, per¬ 
fectly hardy American Shrub has snow- 
white blossoms of largest size. One of 
its most valuable characteristics is its 
coming into bloom just after the passing of 
all the early spring Shrubs, while its long 
flowering season, from early June until 
late August, makes it a valuable acquisi¬ 
tion in any garden. Strong plants, 50 
cents each; $5.00 per doz.; specimen plants, 
$1.00 each. 
Hydrangea Paniculata Grandiflora. Without 
doubt the best known and most popular 
summer-flowering Shrub in cultivation at 
the present time. The flowers, which are 
borne in dense, pyramidal panicles a foot 
long in the greatest profusion, are white 
when they first open, but gradually change 
to rose color, and remain in good conui- 
tion for weeks. 
Fine bush plants, 50 cents each; $5.00 per 
doz.; Extra fine bush plants, $1.00 each. 
Gracilis. A low growing shrub with slender, 
graceful branches of pure white flowers,

Crenata Flora Plena, and producing large

habit; blooms nearly a week earlier.

ing shrub often ten to twelve feet in height,
