ORNAMENTAL SHRUBS—Continued 
Persian Lilac 
PERSIAN LILAC (Purple). Blooms a 
good deal more than the common, and has 
smaller leaves. Does not sprout as much 
from the roots. I prefer the Persian for 
the flowers, but the leaves of the common 
are decidedly prettier all summer. 2 to 3 
feet, 35 cents each; by mail, 40 cents. 
LILAC, PURPLE. With glossy green fol¬ 
iage and beautiful, fragrant flowers. A 
good plant for the lawn and one of the best 
for fancy hedge. Hardy everywhere. Flow¬ 
ers purple. 
IiIIiAC, WHITE. Same as above, with 
white flowers

GOLDEN ELDER. Eight to 10 feet tall. 
In a sunny place the leaves get yellow.

ble berries. Hardy, does well on most any 
soil. A good tall shrub. 25c each; postpaid, 
30c. 
Beauty Bush 
BEAUTY BUSH (Kolkwitzia amabills). 
A new Chinese shrub, covered in June with 
a mass of arching sprays of pink, tubular 
flowers, almost an inch long and %-inch 
in diameter. 35 cents each, by mail 40 
cents. 
Japanese Flowering Quince 
(Cydonia Japonica.) A very popular shrub 
often called “Fire-bush.” When in full bloom 
the flaming red flowers make it look just 
like a blaze of fire. Very hardy. Blooms 
early and young. Has little thorns on it and 
grows about six feet tall. 25c each, 30c 
postpaid. 
FORSYTHIA (Golden Bell). Few, if any. 
of the spring flowering hardy shrubs can 
surpass the splendor and brilliancy of the 
Forsythia. Both the grace and beauty give 
them a prominent place in all shrub plan¬ 
tation. Of upright, vigorous growth, fol¬ 
iage rich, dark green and lustrous. Flowers 
brilliant golden yellow, borne in great pro¬ 
fusion early in April before the leaves ap¬ 
pear. 2 to 3 feet, 30c each; by mail, 35c. 
HYDRANGEA. A fine shrub of recent in¬ 
troduction, blooming from July to No¬ 
vember. Large, showy panicles of white 
flowers in the greatest profusion. It is 
quite hardy and altogether a most admir¬ 
able shrub for planting singly on the lawn 
or in the margin of masses. To produce 
largest flowers it should be pruned severe¬ 
ly in the spring and the ground enriched 
2 foot plant, 35c each; by mail, 40c. 
SNOWBALL. A well known and favorite 
bush of large size. Bears balls of pure 
white flowers in June. We have a bush 
on our farm on which we counted over 
100 blossoms at one time. Hardy every¬ 
where. Each, 25c; by mail, 35c. 
MOCK ORANGE, CORONARIUS. One of 
the very best of the old, well-known 
shrubs. It seldom or never fails to bloom. 
Fragrant and beautiful waxy white flowers 
appear in great profusion in June. Here, 
most years they bloom by Decoration Day 
and mixed with Peonies, make a wonder¬ 
ful and fragrant bouquet. In shape and 
fragrance, they resemble the orange blos¬ 
soms, therefore the name. The shrub 
grows to a height of 10 feet, can be kept 
lower, though, by pruning. Often used for 
ornamental hedge. Hardy everywhere and 
valuable for immediate effect in landscape 
planting. This is one of the most satis¬ 
factory shrubs for the Middle West, hardy 
and it never fails to bloom and needs little 
care. Each, 25c; by mall, 35c.
