strain of this handsome shrub that *we have seen. It is perfectly hardy here

spikes of pink flowers in late summer. We consider this one of our outstanding 
recent introductions. Price, each, 75c.

native shrub, and flourishes on all but the driest soils. The leaves are a glossy 
green and are always free from insects. It is very highly valued for its beautiful
