the Fall or early Spring, the branches of the 
previous year to 1 to 3 pairs of buds, depending 
upon the quantity of blossoms desired. 
PAXICULATA GRASDIFLORA. The most popu¬ 
lar and widely planted shrub in cultivation. Adapt¬ 
ed to any part of the country, perfectly hardy, 
stands heat and cold remarkably well. For the 
cemetery there is no better shrub. Grows 3 to 4 
feet high; blooms from August until frost. The 
flower panicles are frequently nearly a foot in 
length, white when they first open, afterwards 
changing to rose, remaining in good condition for 
weeks. This shrub should be planted in masses 
or with background of other shrubbery.

BUSH HOSEYSl'CKLE (Lonlcera). These shrubs 
of upright habit with their fragrant flowers and

are very valuable for shrubberies with their clean, 
dark green foliage, which is rarely attacked by 
insects and keeps its green color mostly unchanged 
until late Fall, excepting L. Ibota, which turns a 
purplish hue. The privets are all well adapted for 
planting as ornamental hedges and do well in the 
dust and smoke of the city. Hardy, growing well 
in almost any kind of soil.

shade of violet-mauve, borne in dense cylindrical spikes 8 to 13 
inches in length by 3 inches in diameter. Each 35c. 
Hydrangea Paniculata Grandiflora 
LILAC (Syringa). Lilacs stand more neglect, 
heat or drouth without showing any bad effects 
than any other plant, and there is hardly any 
other shrub that can take their place as orna¬ 
mental plants for borders, etc. They bloom in 
early Spring.

(S to 15 feet) having large clusters of fragrant 
purple flowers in the Spring. Each, 50c and up.

PHILADELPIIUS (Mock Orange; Syringa). 
These shrubs are usually tall, vigorous growers 
and are also remarkable for their abundance of 
very fragrant white flowers which are excellent for 
cutting. They thrive well in almost any well- 
drained soil and even under trees. If pruning is 
necessary, it should be done after flowering, since 
the flowers appear on the wood formed the pre¬ 
vious year. Cut out the branches which are 3 or 
4 years old and allow the young shoots to grow. 
This will result in cleaner bushes and finer flowers.
