FRINGE. 
The Purple Fringe 
is a very desirable 
shrub, much admired 
for its curious fringe 
or hair-like flowers 
that cover the whole 
surface of the plant. 
It grows from ten 
to twelve feet high, 
and is very showy. 
The flowers are pro¬ 
duced late in spring, 
and in erect spikes 
that remain on the 
plant all summer. This 
shrub may be better 
known to many of our 
customers under such 
names as Smoke, or 
Mist, Tree. 
The White Fringe 
has large, glossy leaves 
and produces its flow¬ 
ers in drooping racemes about the time the foliage 
starts. Plants each 25 cents.

HYDRANGEA. 
Everybody knows the Hydrangea, an old pot plant, 
with a globular mass of flowers, and when well grown 
a very good thing. But all do not know that the 
finest addition made to our flowering-shrubs in twenty 
years is a hardy Hydrangea, called Hydrangea panicu- 
lata grandiflora. It is as hardy as a Lilac bush, a me¬ 
dium sized, hard-wooded shrub, bearing on the tops of 
the branches immense clusters of white flowers. These 
clusters are sometimes almost a foot in height, and 
The different varieties of the Honeysuckle are es¬ 
teemed among the most desirable hardy climbers. 
Certain it is that the associations connected with tin; 
fragrant Honeysuckle will make it always popular. 
Among flowers none has been more written about than 
this, none more prized by people, prince or poet. Its 
common, or, rather, poetic, name is the Woodbine ; the 
botanical name is Lonicera, given in honor of a Ger¬ 
man botanist.

There are very few plants whose flowers so perfectly 
combine large size and delicacy as the Hollyhock. Its
