THE PURPLE LILAC 
BED TARTARIAN — Similar, but dpop pink or 
rod. 
WHITE TARTARIAN -Liko tho i»rocodin);. but 
has white flowers. 
HYDRANGEA 
The addition of the Paniculata Grandiflora 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 
rannot recommend them as highly as we can the 
Paniculata Grandiflora. 
ARBORESCENS GRANDIFLORA—A grand ad¬ 
dition to summer dowering hardy* shrubs dwarf¬ 
ing the show of others in July and August by 
the magnitude and profusion of its tlower heads. 
The dowers are. in a large way, similar to the 
familiar “Snowball” in appearance, and are so 
conspicuously* white and imimsing that whether 
as single specimens, as cut dowers, or in group¬ 
ings, their presence is predominant. _ 
PANICULATA GRANDIFLORA—Is absolutely 
hardy: thrives in all soils; grows rapidly and 
blossoms profusely*. Flowers are i)ure white, 
afterward changing to pink, and are "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 dowering shrubs 
cultivated. It is erjually valuable for planting 
singly* or massing in beds. We heartily commend 
it to all lovers of the beautiful. It will give 
great satisfaction. Attains a height of from 
three to five feet. Should be headed in every 
spring. Can be furnished in bush or trained 
into an ui>right tree form. 
LILACS 
Lilacs are too well known to need an extended 
description. They* are hardy and free blooming. 
CHARLES X—A strong growing sort; large, 
loose clusters of purple dowsers; an improved 
variety of the foregoing. 
CHINESE WHITE—Growth similar to Persian, 
but blooms near white. 
JAPAN TREE LILAC — A species from Japan. 
Leaves thick, pointed, leathery and dark; dow¬ 
ers in very largo panicles, creamy white and 
privet like. Makes a small tree and is desirable 
bec4iuse of its distinct foliage and late bloom¬ 
ing. 
PURPLE—Blossoms early; abundant; reddish 
purple and fragrant. 
PERSIAN — Attains a height of froir. four to six 
feet; small foliage; dowers bright purple. A 
native of Persia and a decided acquisition. Also 
White Persian. 
NAMED — We can also furnish the best varieties 
of double and single in grafted sorts. 
MAHONIA AQUIFOLIA 
ASHBERRY —May. A well known bush of the 
greatest value to give a surface of green foliage 
in winter. Its large, spiny leaves, which turn 
scarlet in fall, are much like those of the famous 
English holly*, and its bright yellow flowers in 
HYDRANGEA, PANTICULATA GRANDIFLORA May are very effective. Good in shady spots. 
JAPAN QUINCE 
One of the best known shrubs in cultivation. 
Very ornamental in early spring, as its bright, 
scarlet dowers com])letely’ cover the branches be¬ 
fore the leaves are formed. Makes a good hedge.’'* 
KEURIA 
JAPONICA (Globe P’lower) — A slender branehed 
shrul), with bright green bark, growing 4 to o 
feet. Tall, single bright yellow dowers frotn 
.luly till fall. Very* valuable. 
JAPONICA FLORE PLENA—A double form 
having very* double yellow blooms all sutnmer. 
Grows a little more upright than the preceding. 
VARIEGATED LEAF—A dwarf form with very- 
beautiful green leaves edged with white. Single 
yellow blossoms coming out at the same time 
the leaves come, early in the spring. Habit 
drooping and spreading. One of the very best 
for low borders. Attnijis about three feet high
