by the golden stamens. Strong thrifty plants, 
25c each; 3 for 70c, postpaid.

clusters all along the branches. One of the 
finest all-around flowering shrubs. Strong 
plants, 35c; 3 for $1.00, postpaid.

shrub bears large spirals of densely crowded double 
white flowers, each blossom like a miniature rose, the 
entire length of the branches—hence the common title 
of “Bridal Wreath.” A beautiful floral wreath is made 
at once by bending and tying the ends of the branch 
together. Fine plants, 25c each; 3 for 70c, postpaid.

shrub with dense, pale 
green foliage, covered

THE NEW HARDY 
JAPANESE 
SNOWBALL 
This Japanese vari¬ 
ety of the old-fash¬ 
ioned Snowball is one 
of the grandest and 
most striking of all 
hardy Bhrubs. It 
forms an erect, com¬ 
pact plant 6 to 8 feet 
in height, blooms in 
June and for a long 
time the plants are 
filled with hundreds of 
big snowy balls that 
glisten with ethereal 
whiteness like gems in 
the sunlight. Prlco,
