Deutzia, Pride of Rochester. A tall, rigid shrub, with 
crisp, double, white flowers lightly tinted purplish 
pink. It does well in almost any situation, even 
partial shade. 3 to 4-ft. plants, 25 cts. each. 
Crape Myrtle (Lagerstreemia indica). The favorite 
flowering shrub of the South which creates a gorgeous 
display of red, purple, pink, and white during the 
summer. It withstands pruning and can be kept to 
any size, although it will eventually reach 10 to 15 
feet. The plants are difficult to move and sometimes 
do not start into growth the first year after trans¬ 
planting. They should be pruned very severely when 
planted and carefully watered and cultivated. They 
may be had in the following colors: Pink and Red. 
Strong, 3 to 4-ft. plants of either color, 25 cts. each.
