rich copper; blossoms in May with white flowers 
in flat-topped clusters, followed by scarlet fruit.

white neutral flowers, early in June. It sur¬ 
passes the common variety in several respects. 
Its habit is better, foliage much handsomer, flow¬ 
ers whiter and more delicate. One of the most 
valuable flowering shrubs.

shrub. Makes a large bush. Bears balls of pure 
white flowers in Juno.

ornamental in the fall.

er becoming in time a large sized shrub; flowers 
pure white and produced in great profusion in 
June and the plants continue to bloom during 
the summer.

Wcgelias, the plants having a vigorous habit 
and bearing freely well-shaped, large, crimson 
red flowers. Blooms several times during the 
season. 
ROSEA—The best known sort. From China. 
Hose-colored, trumpet-shaped llow’ers. Blooms in 
June. Four to six feet. 
VARIEGATED LEAVED—Leaves bordered with 
yellowish white, making the bush very conspic¬ 
uous the entire season. Pink flowers blooming 
in June. A very desirable shrub. 
In Shrubs we pursue the same policy as wo do in fruits, viz: to ofTer only those which we have 
known to succeed and those which we consider as hardy in this latitude. We test many new ones 
each year as they are offered and if they meet our requirements in a shrub we adopt it permanently 
and offer it for sale. We now have a business in landscape work that requires thousands of shrubs 
each year. We will prepare planting plans and estimates when desired. Our Shrubs will be found 
especially well rooted as our soil produces an abundance of fibrous roots. 
HAR.DY CLIMBING VINES 
Ornamentals of this class are so hardy, so easily grown, and so beautiful that they deserve greater 
attention than they receive. No artist can produce pictures equal to the wealth of beauty displayed 
by the elegant Wistaria, the graceful honeysuckle, or the charming and magnificent clematis when 
in the glory of full bloom, and there is nothing in art that will in any degree compare with the 
gorgeous hues of the Ampelopsis after it assumes its brilliant autumnal tints. 
AMPELOPSIS VEITCHII 
BOSTON IVY — Leaves a little smaller and more 
ivy-like in form than foregoing. Overlapping 
each other they form a dense sheet of green. 
The plant requires a little protection the first 
winter until it is established, but after that it 
may be safely left to care for itself. It grow’.s 
rapidly and clings to the surface of even a 
painted brick wall with great tenacity. Foliage 
changes to crimson scarlet in autumn. 
ARISTOLOCHIA

with magnificent foliage, ten to tw'elve inches in 
diameter, and curious pipe-shaped, yellowish- 
brow'n flow’ers.

leaves are filled with a netw'ork of golden veins, 
giving the entire vine a beautiful golden appear¬ 
ance. Flowers creamy white.

ing its foliage nearly all winter. Blooms in July 
and September and is very sweet.
