Lilac Bush 
Rhododendron. (Rosebay). This evergreen shrub 
--- is considered one of the most beau¬ 
tiful, if not the most beautiful, of all shrubs. It produces 
large clusters of blossoms which excel the rose in their size 
and beauty of color. It is very desirable for its early blos¬ 
soming season. If blossoms in May and June. In winter 
the great leathery leaves of the rhododendron form rich banks 
of green. They will grow in any good soil, but do best 
where soil is deep, well drained and mulched with leaves. 
The plants we ofTer are as large as can be successfully trans¬ 
planted. They are strong plants, 18 to 24 inches, well set 
with from 15 to 25 buds that will blossom the season of 
planting. We can supply them in four colors: pink, purple, 
red and white. Price, $1.25 each. 
T ilsiPQ Every lawn or garden ought to have at least 
* a few of these beautiful shrubs. They flower 
in May and probably are the best known of all shrubs. 
Lilac — Old Homestead. There are no flowering plants 
more highly prized than this beautiful pink lilac. The Old 
Homestead lilac is not claimed to be a new variety. It is a 
choice variety found in an old garden at Green’s Fruit 
Farm. Prices, 2 to 3 ft., 25c. each, $2.00 per 10. 
Lilac—Vulgaris. (Common Purple Lilac.) The well 
known, old-fashioned variety, one of the best. A good 
grower; flowers and young wood fragrant; purple. Prices, 
2 to 3 ft., 25c. each, $1.75 per 10. 
Lilac — Alba. (Common White Lilac.) A very desir¬ 
able contrast to the purple. Those who have one should 
have the other. Prices, 2 to 3 ft., 25c. each, $1.75 per 10. 
Lilac—Villosa. A most pleasing variety of lilac, dif¬ 
fering in foliage and blossom from all other lilacs — a great 
favorite with us. Flowers abundant, large clusters, pink 
and latest to bloom of all lilacs. Prices, 2 to 3 ft., 35c. 
each, $3.00 per 10. 
Lilacs—New French Varieties. We have a large as¬ 
sortment of both single and double flowering varieties in 
the following colors: violet, purple, white, red, blue, deep 
rose and blue carmine. When ordering state whether 
double or single varieties are wanted and what color. Owing 
to the fact that our supply of these new French varieties 
is very limited, we reserve the right, in case we are out of 
the. color ordered, to substitute a color or shade that is 
similar to the one ordered. Prices of both double and 
single varieties, 2 to 3 ft., 50c. each, $4.00 per 10.

Gentlemen: — You will be interested to hear that last 
fall the trees came duly to hand as ordered, but I was 
so fixed that I could not plant them for about two weeks 
after receipt: although I believed I had kept the burlap 
wet, I found on opening them that they had dried out to 
some extent. I planted them in a place not particularly 
well prepared and in somewhat of a hurry, and was unable 
to put in straw or mulch around the roots during the win¬ 
ter. In spite of the above and various other errors of 
omission and commission, every tree lived and flourished 
luxuriantly during this summer. This speaks well for 
your stock, which must be practically fool-proof. 
Very truly yours, Francis II. Bowman. 
Hardy Hydrangea. 
(Paniculata Grandiflora). — 
We urge our friends to plant 
the Hydrangea. It is hardy, 
enduring the severest win¬ 
ters outdoors without pro¬ 
tection. It is easily trans¬ 
planted, not one in a thou¬ 
sand dying; it never fails to 
blossom the first year plant¬ 
ed; no matter how small the 
plant, it immediately buds 
out in great profusion of 
flowers, many of them as 
large as the head of a full 
growm child. When the 
specimens first opon they 
are greenish white, later they 
tum to a pure wiiite, and 
still later to a delicate pink. 
Prices, extra large, 3 to 4 ft.; 
40c. each, $3.50 per 10; Medium 
size, 2 to 3 ft., 30c. each, $2.50 
per 10; Tree form, 3 to 4 ft., 75c. 
each, $6.00 per 10.
