Symphoricarpus 
There is no more useful or desirable shrub than this. It is of the easiest culture, thriving 
in full sun, and it will stand more shade than any other shrub we know. For covering ground 
under trees there is nothing better. The red-fruited variety, known as Indian Currant, is 
especially effective in the winter when the ground is covered with snow, and the loveliness of 
the white-fruited sort, commonly called Snowberry, is shown by the illustration on the first 
cover page of 1905 Catalogue. Price of either variety, 20 c.ts. each, $1.75 per doz., $13 per 100. 
Japanese Magnolias 
The Japanese Magnolias are rarely seen in this country, but their remarkable beauty makes 
them worth all the trouble necessary to establish them. Unlike the Chinese varieties which 
bloom early in the spring before the leaves appear, these Japanese sorts do not bloom until 
June, when the foliage is fully developed. They do not bloom so freely as the Chinese sorts, 
but the beauty of the flowers is charming. Never have we seen anything daintier or lovelier than, 
the flowers of M. parviflora or M, Watsoni, and the odor of M. hypoleuca is most delicious.

Cornus Kousa 
This beautiful Japanese Dogwood has long been a denizen of British gardens under the 
name of Senthamia Japonica, it having been first referred to Lindley's genus founded upon the 
Himalayan Strawberry Tree, JBenthamia fragifera, now also brought under Cornus. It is far 
from being so generally cultivated as it deserves, although perfectly hardy, and flowering as 
freely as other Dogwoods when it has been established a few years. First-class Certificate from 
the Royal Horticultural Society. $1.50 ea. 
New Rose, Madame N. Levavasseur, or “Baby 
Crimson Rambler” 
This Hose is a cross between Crimson Rambler and Gloire des Polvantha, showing 
all the qualities of Crimson Rambler and at the same time flowering perpetually as a 
Polyantha Rose. Madame N. Levavasseur, however, is not a climbing Rose ; it does 
not grow higher than 2 to 2% feet, forming a lovely bush, all covered with flowers 
and blooming from spring until frost. Dormant plants, 1-year, 50 cts. each ; small 
plants, 25 cts. each. 
Hardy Bamboos 
The following Bamboos have proven perfectly hardy in the latitude of Philadelphia. 
BAMBUSA AUKEA h as straight, erect, slender stems with very short internodes, 
which have attained heights of 12 to 15 feet in this country. It is one of the most 
graceful of the genus and particularly effective when planted in large, bold 
masses. $1 each ; large plants, $2. 
BAMBUSA JAPONICA (Metake of gardens). One of the best known of all the hardy 
Bamboos. The stems are often 15 feet high, with internodes (i to 8 inches long, 
and with tapering leaves a foot long, smooth and shining above, glaucous beneath. 
It forms fine clumps when sheltered from the east wind, and will grow in drier 
situations than most Bamboos. 50 cts. each; larger plants, $1. 
York and Lancaster Rose 
We have at last succeeded in getting a stock of this famous old English garden 
Rose. Aside from its historical interest it is really a lovely variety with a vigorous 
constitution. The flowers are semi-double and strikingly variegated white and red. 
75 cts. each, $8 per doz.
