EVERGR EE/NS. 
COLORADO BLUE SPRUCE. We have some very fine highly colored speci¬ 
mens of this most beautiful tree. 
WEEPING NORWAY SPRUCE. (Abies excelsa inverta.) A most curious and 
graceful tree. It should be tied up to a stake for a few years in order to allow 
it to get sufficient height to exhibit its peculiarities. When thus trained the 
side branches fall directly downward, and with their rich covering of foliage 
drape the stem as a robe falls around the person. 
JAPANESE CYPRESS. (Retinispora,) A most beautiful group of evergreens, 
much hardier than the Lawson Cypress. We offer three varieties. Retinis¬ 
pora Pisifera. The type. A fine tree of medium size with foliage resembling 
the Arbor Yitse, but much more delicate in general effect, it considerably re¬ 
sembles the Lawson Cypress, but the foliage is of a lighter color. Retinispora 
Squarrosa is not so large a growing tree as the preceding. Its habit of 
growth is peculiar and may be described as cylindrical. The foliage is 
needle-shaped and of a soft, silvery blue color. Retinispora Pluyiosa Aurea is 
the brightest golden evergreen that is hardy in this latitude. 
SHRUBS A/ND VI/NES. 
STANDARD HYDRANGEAS. These are simply plants of Hydrangea Punicu- 
lata Qrandijlora trained to a single stem some four feet high. When in 
bloom they are very showy. 
AZALEA MOLLIS. One of the most beautiful hardy shrubs in the world. 
When in bloom there is nothing to be seen but a cloud of color, and such 
soft, beautiful colors, too. Yellow, Salmon Pink and Creamy White in an infinite 
variety of shades, Besides our ordinary stock of dwarf bushes we can offer 
this year some fine standards with stems running from eighteen inches to 
three feet in height. A bed of these flowers is worth going a hundred miles 
to see. 
CLEMATIS. We have in stock more than twenty-five varieties of this beautiful 
climber, and have room here to mention but two of them. Mme. Edouard 
Andre 1 b a new sort, first exhibited in this country at the Chicago Exposition. 
It is larger than Jackmanni, nearly as free a bloomer, and the flowers are 
red. Clematis Paniculata is a small flowering variety, blooming about the 
first of .September. It is as fragrant as a Jasmine, a tremendous grower and 
a most free bloomer. In our opinion this vine ranks in value with the Boston 
Ivy, ( Ampelopsis Veitclni.) 
PEONIES. Besides a fine collection of Herbaceous Peonies we can offer this year 
somo very fine Tree Peonies, including that moBt valuable and rare sort, Reine 
Elizabeth. It has flowers of the largest size and of a rich red color. 
ROSES. We have our usual fine assortment of Roses, and would call attention 
here to only two or three sorts. We have some very fine field-grown plants 
of 1m trance and Duchess of Albany. They are on their own roots, and . 
last summer made a growth of over three feet. 
ROSA RUGOSA (bor Hodges). The plants that we offer for this purpose are 
l.year seedlings, about four inches high. They are in good condition, and 
with a little care should all grow. Rosa Rugosa is pre-eminently fitted for a 
hedge rose. It is a strong, vigorous grower, and its foliage is not affected by 
bugs and the diseases which are so apt to attack ordinary varieties of roses 
Tho flowers are Bingle, run from two to four inches in diameter, and are of 
various shades of red, pink and white.
