BUPDLEIA VARIAB1LIS (Chi nose Lilac). 
It is a hardy shrub, growing three to four feet high, its gracefully 
arching branches covered with a woolly bloom. The leaves are 
bright green above, velvet white underneath, effectively 
undulated. The contrast of white and green produces a highly 
decorative effect. The very numerous branches are terminated by 
racemes of flowers, frequently twelve inches in length, and borne 
in such quantities as to cover the entire bush. The coloring of 
flowers, on seedling plants is very variable. The predominating 
shade is rosy lilac, with orange tint in centre. Exquisite 
rose and violet shades have also been obtained. The flowers, 
which have a rather agreeable odor, are produced from June until 
October, and even later. The plant is extremelv hardy.

JAPAW SNOWBALL. 
(Viburnum Piicatum.) 
I have long wanted to sell this 
excellent plant, but price and 
scarcity of good plants have 
deterred me from so doing un¬ 
til now. The plant stands at 
the head of hardy shrubs; it is 
absolutel v hardy; a good grow¬ 
er; and is as much superior to 
the common snowball as a cul¬ 
tivated Rose is better than a 
wild one.' Flowers resemble 
a huge snow-ball. Will grow 
six to eight feet. In bloom 
all Summer. Fine Blooming
