A FEW FLOWERS 
Rosa rugosa rubra and alba. (See Miscellaneous Roses, page 75.) 
Appendix. 
The following list includes the new and many old varieties of Plants, Shrubs, and Trees, which, after a thorough test 
in our nursery, we think worthy of being added to our catalogue. The new tri-colored Beech, Fagus Purpurea 
Tricolor , the entire stock of which we have secured in France, we consider one of the greatest novelties of the age, 
and the most beautiful ornamental tree we have ever sent out. 
Hardy Herbaceous Plants. 
Ampelopsis Tricolor. Sometimes called Vitis Heterophylla. 
Leaves like those of a grapevine, only distinctly three-lobed and more 
deeply cut and beautifully variegated with pink, white and green. 
25 cents and 50 cents each. 
Amsonia Tabernamontana. Pale lavender-blue; dowers in 
May and June in broad clusters. 25 cents each; $2.50 per 
dozen. 
Apios Tuberosa. A valuable hardy tuberous rooted climber, 
closely resembling the common Wisteria in vine and foliage, and 
having clusters of rich, deep purple flowers, which have a strong, 
delicious violet fragrance. Plant the bulbs near a trellis, fence, tree] 
or any place where you may wish a climber. They grow to a'great 
height and bloom profusely. The bulbs are perfectly hardy and 
should not be taken up over winter. 25 cents each ; $2 per dozen.
