Deutzia Magnificata. 
Deutzia Gracilis. 
CORNUS [Bush Dogwood] 
The shrubby Dogwoods are mainly valuable for the brillancy 
of their bark and berries, and variegated foliage. All varieties 
do well in shade. Much used for an expanse of green foliage, 
the fall fruits calling a welcome assemblage of birds ; and the 
tangled mass of highly colored twigs enlivening the prevailing 
somberness of shrubbery in winter. 
Elegantissima variegata. Purplish red branches and beau¬ 
tiful silver variegated foliage. This is one of the choicest 
variegated-leaved shrubs, capable of refined compact shape 
by pruning, of value both summer and winter. 
2 to 3 feet, 40c each ; 3 for $1.10. 3 to 4 feet, BOc each ; 3 
for $1.35. 
XiUtea. A striking yellow branched form of Stolonifera, very 
satisfactory for contrasting. 1 y 2 to 2 ft., 30c each; 3 for 85c. 
Paniculata (Gray Dogwood). Unusually compact; showing a 
profusion of good sized white flowers in June. Berries white, 
on noticeably red stems. Bark and under side of leaves gray. 
2 to 3 feet, 40c each; 3 for $1.10. 
Sibirica (Coral Dogwood). A useful “filling” shrub, with 
clusters of fine white flowers; white berries; stem and 
branches turning to blood-red in winter. (See color page F). 
2 to 3 feet, 40c each; 3 for $1.10; 6 for $2.00. 
DESMODIUM penduliflorum (Purple Bush Clover). Half¬ 
shrub, the long canes of each season’s growth usually winter- 
killed. These stools become stronger, throwing up more shoots 
and forming a thick shrub 2 to 5 feet high, in showy late 
summer bloom. Arched branches, with long, close, drooping 
racemes of liquid purple-magneta pea-like flowers. 
2 year, 40c each; 3 for $1.10. 
DEUTZIAS 
Shrubs which vary con¬ 
siderably in height and hab¬ 
it, but bloom alike in 
dainty bell or tassel-shaped 
flowers, borne thickly in 
wreaths along their branch¬ 
es in June. 
Gracilis (Slender Branch¬ 
ed). Dwarf growing, 
dense, bushy, its droop¬ 
ing branches wreathed with pure white flowers in May. 
This is the best type for edging, growing not much over 2 
feet high ; and standing partial shade very well. Also valu¬ 
able for winter blooming in pots. 
12 to 15 inch, 25c each; $2.50 per doz.; 25 for $4.00. 
Gracilis rosea. Has same habit as Gracilis, but grows 
slightly taller and has deep rose-colored flowers. 
18 inch, 40c each; 3 for $1.10. 
Iiemoinei. Large flowers of pure white, borne in cone-shaped 
heads. The next step-up from Gracilis, in height. 
18 to 24 inches, 30c each ; 3 for 85c. 
Magnificata. This is one of the handsomest and most con¬ 
spicuous of all Deutzias. It grows tall and bushy like Cre- 
nata, with the largest florets, fullest trusses and most double 
petalage to be found in the family. 
2 to 3 feet, 40c each ; 3 for $1.10. 
Pride of Rochester. The best known variety, blooming in 
May before the others. Flowers large and free, double, white. 
A little past medium height, but compactly growing. 
2 to 3 feet, 40c each ; 3 for $1.10. 
ELDER [Sambucus] 
Although attractive in flower and fruit, they are chiefly 
grown for their beautiful leaves. Large leaved, broad spread. 
Cut-leaved Elder (S. acutiloba). Great cymes of delicate 
white, fragrant flowers in June and July, followed by equal 
fruit clusters'? Beautiful broad fringe-like foliage ; the bush 
rounded and shapely, equally good for solitary specimens and 
for groups. 2 to 3 feet, 40c each ; 3 for $1.10. 
Golden Elder (S. aurea). Big broad leaves as yellow as 
gold ; very conspicuous. 2 to 3 feet, 40c each ; 3 for $1.10. 
EUONTMUS alatus (Winged Burning Bush). A tall shrub, 
with corky winged branches; a fine shrub for solitary plant¬ 
ings, as well as for massing, the rich red and crimson of 
its leaves being very showy in autumn. 
1 y 2 to 2 feet, 40c. 2 to 3 feet, 50c. 
EXOCHORDA grandiflora (Pearl Bush). It grows vigor¬ 
ously ; and can be trimmed to any desirable shape. The early 
buds look like pearls strung on slender threads. May opening 
them up to long, gleaming sprays of pure white. This is one 
of the showiest of the white summer-flowering shrubs. 
2 to 3 feet, 40c each ; 3 for $1.10. 
Cornus Elegantissinia. 
Comus Sibirica., Coral Dogwood.
