BERRIES OF BERBERIS 
THUNBERGII 
(See Description, Pane 40) 
ELAEAGNUS argentea 
(Silver Thorn). An 
erect, thorny shrub, of 
s t r i k mg appearance; 
loaded with small pink 
berries in autumn; a 
fine hedge plant. 
E. longipes ( Japanese 
Silver Thorn). A use¬ 
ful new shrub for the 
ornamental grounds 
and for the fruit gar¬ 
den, forming a me¬ 
dium-sized bush of at- 
t r a c tive appearance. 
The dark brown bark 
of the young growth, 
the bright green leaves, 
i nd the abundant crop of 
1:right-colored fruit, about as 
large as currants, and quite as palat¬ 
able, make it a plant of more than 
ordinary merit. The fruit makes ex¬ 
cellent jam and jelly and is well worth cultivat¬ 
ing for this use. 50 cts. each; $5 per doz. 
EUONYMUS alatus (Winged or Corky Bark 
Euonymus). The branches are singularly cov¬ 
ered with corky ridges. The autumn colorings 
of foliage are very fine. 50 cts. each. 
E. americanus (Burning Bush , or Strawberry 
Tree). Very conspicuous in autumn and winter, 
when loaded with scarlet seed-pods, from which 
the orange-colored berries hang on slender 
threads; in this, the American species, the 
branches are quadrangular. 
E. europaeus (European Burning Bush , or Straw¬ 
berry Tree). This is darker and more showy 
than the American. 
E. latifolius (Broad-leaved Burning Bush). A 
species with broader leaves and larger fruit, 
that ripens earlier than the former. 50 cts. each. 
DEUTZIA (Continued) 
DEUTZIA crenata (Pride of Rochester). A fine 
double variety, rather earlier than I). crenata; | 
flowers pink in bud, white when fully expanded, j 
25 cts. each. 
D. c. scabra (Rough-leaved Deutzia). The most 
vigorous grower; flowers single, white. 25 cts. 
each. 
D. c. watereri. A new white variety from Eng¬ 
land, with larger and more double flowers. 
25 cts. each. 
D. gracilis (Dwarf Deutzia). A low bush, 3 or 4 
feet in diameter; flowers pure white and grace¬ 
ful; one of the most popular small shrubs. Fine 
for winter forcing. 25 cts. each. 
D. lemoinei. A hybrid form, resembling D. gra¬ 
cilis, but more vigorous in growth and with 
larger flowers. 50 cts. each. 
DIERVILLA florida (Weigel'a). See Weigelia. 
DIRICA palustris (Leather-wood). A small round 
bush, whose numerous twigs look and feel like 
brown leather cords; flowers yellow before 
the leaves expand. 50 cts. each. 
E. radicans variegatus. A low, trailing shrub, 
with small evergreen leaves, edged with white; 
useful and effective for edging beds or groups, 
and for covering stumps and low walls. 
EXOCHORDA grandiflora ( Pearl Bush). A very 
hardy and handsome shrub from northern 
China and Japan, forming a bush 10 or 12 feet 
high. The pure white flowers are borne in 
short clusters, on light, wiry branches, which 
bend beneath their load of bloom enough to be 
airy and graceful. 
FORSYTHIA suspensa ( Drooping Golden Bell). 
A very early and showy spring bloomer; flowers 
bright yellow. The long, slender branches which 
droop gracefully until they reach the ground 
are very effective for covering steep slopes, 
walls, fences and arbors. 25 cts. each. 
F. suspensa fortunei (Fortune's Golden Bell). 
Similar to suspensa but of stronger and more 
upright growth. Flowers are a rich golden 
yellow. We recommend it as the best. 
F. viridissima (Green-Barked Golden Bell). More 
erect, and shrubby in habit; the light green bark 
is conspicuous and interesting all winter.
