f)e Brabant.—Double red; 12 to 18 inches. Each 20c; 
$2.00 dozen. 
HYDRANGEA, P. G. - Blooms 
from July to September. There is no 
shrub more showy than this favorite 
Hydrangea, whose branches are bent 
fefeneath the weight of the huge white 
flower-cluster. The illustration will 
give you some idea of the bush in full 
bloom, but we think it hardly docs it 
justice. As the season advances the 
panicles fade into tints of pink, red, 
Mid sometimes green. A vigorous 
grower in nearly all soils, and hardy 
hi most parts of the United States. 
Should be in all collections : valuable 
as a specimen and useful for group- 
wig. 12 to 15 inches, 20c each ; $2.00

first warm days of spring. 15 to 18 
inches, 30c each ; $2.50 per doz. 18 
to 24 inches, 50c each ; $4.00 per doz. 
LIGTJSTRUM OVALIFOLITJM 
California Privet.—Widely known as 
a hedge plant. It is a vigorous grow¬ 
er anywhere, endures the unnatural 
condition of cities and is one of the 
test shrubs for hedge planting. The 
half evergreen, glossy foliage and 
pure white flowers in July make it an 
♦rnamental shrub that is generally 
useful. This plant is so universally 
known and so generally used for 
hedges that a description of it is 
scarcely necessary. It is a rapid 
grower under all conditions, has 
handsome, glossy foliage that lasts 
well into winter and withstands any amount of trim¬ 
ming. We have a very large stock of especially fine 
plants that arc splendidly rooted and not to be com¬ 
pared with a great deal of the weak stuff offered by 
agents. If you are intending to plant a hedge I so¬ 
licit your order and guarantee satisfaction.
