LILACS 
Lilacs are too well known to need an extended 
description. They are handy and freo blooming. 
CHARLES X—A strong growing sort; large, 
loose clusters of purple flowers; an improved 
variety of the foregoing.

but blooms near white. 
JAPAN TREE LILAC—A species from Japan. 
Leaves thick, pointed, leathery and dark; flow¬ 
ers in very largo panicles, creamy white and 
privet like.’ Makes a small tree and is desirable 
because of its distinct foliage and late bloom¬ 
ing.

purple and fragrant.

MAHONIA AQUIFOLIA 
ASHEERRY—May. A well known bush of the 
greatest value to give a surface of green foliage 
in winter. Its large, spiny leaves, which turn 
carlet in fall, are much like those of the famous 
English holly, and its bright yellow flower* in 
HYDRANGEA, PANTICULATA GRANDIFLORA May are very effective. Good in shady spots 
The addition of the Pnniculata Grandiftora has 
given the Hydrangea a high rank. Others of the 
new sorts are exceedingly beautiful and showy 
shrubs, but as they are not entirely hardy we 
cannot recommend them as highly as we can "the 
Pnniculata Grandillora. 
ARBORESCENS GRANDIFLORA—A grand ad¬ 
dition to summer flowering hardy shrubs dwarf¬ 
ing the show of others in July and August by 
the magnitude and profusion of its flower heads. 
The flowers are, in a large way, similar to the 
familiar “Snowball” in appearance, and are so 
conspicuously white and imposing that whether 
ns single specimens, as cut flowers, or in group¬ 
ings, their presence is predominant. 
PANICULATA GRANDIFLORA—Is absolutely 
hardy: thrives in all soils; grows rapidly and 
blossoms profusely. Flowers are pure white, 
afterward changing to pink, and nrc borne in 
large pyramidal trusses, often more than a foot 
long and six to eight inches in diameter. Begins 
to bloom early in August, and continues in bloom 
for several weeks. Wherever known, it is con¬ 
ceded to be one of the finest flowering shrubs 
cultivated. It is equally valuable for 
singly or massing in beds. We heartily 
it to all lovers of the beautiful. It will 
great satisfaction. Attains a height of 
three to five feet. Should be headed 
spring. Can be furnished in bush or 
into an upright tree form.
