ornamental for lawn planting. 
Small, well-rooted trees, 20 cts. 
each, $2 per doz.

ers. Strong 2-yr. plants, 25 cts. 
each, $2.25 per doz.

yr. plants, 20 cts. each, $2 per 
doz.

branches that are ornamental even when divested of 
leaves. They grow in almost any soil, and do well 
in open or shaded places. All the varieties have at¬ 
tractive foliage; valuable for shrubberies. Orange- 
yellow flowers borne in abundance. Strong 2-yr. 
plants, 25 cts. each, $2.25 per doz.

in bloom. Strong, 2-yr. trees, 25 cts. each, $2.25 
per doz. 
A fine Privet Hedge about my home 
Hydrangea paniculata grandiflora 
i Blooms from July to September. There is no 
shrub more showy than this favorite Hydrangea, 
whose branches are bent beneath the weight of 
the huge white flower cluster. As the season ad¬ 
vances the panicles fade into tints of pink, red and 
sometimes green. A vigorous grower in nearly all 
soils, and hardy in most parts of the United States. 
Should be in all collections; valuable as a specimen 
and useful for grouping. 12 to 15 in., 20 cts. each, 
$2 per doz.; 18 to 24 in., 25 cts. each, $2.50 per doz.
