Chinese Magnolia 
EXTRA FINE 
SPECIMENS 
MAGNOLIA 
STELLATA. Of this exquisitely beautiful dwarf white 
Magnolia I have secured some fine bushy specimens, well 
set with flower-buds, that have been specially prepared for 
transplanting. $3 each. 
FINE BUSHY SPECIMENS, well set with flower- 
buds, specially prepared for transplanting, in the following 
varieties: Alexandria, Norbertlna, Lenne, Con- 
splcua, Soulangeana, Speclosa and Speclosa Nova. 
$3 each. 
The Chinese Magnolias are the most beautiful of all 
spring-flowering trees, but as ordinarily grown in American 
Nurseries almost impossible to transplant successfully. 
The above, imported from Europe, have been specially 
prepared for transplanting and are certain to grow. 
WISTARIA 
SINENSIS. I have a few extra large plants of the 
well-known purple Chinese Wistaria, with tops fully 10 feet 
long. $1.50 each. 
STANDARD WISTARIAS. Everybody knows the 
Wistaria as a vine, but it is rarely seen grown as a small 
tree. This is done by training to a single stem until it 
is 6 or 8 feet high, when it is allowed to branch out. 
Treated in this way it makes a beautiful little tree for the 
lawn, and when in bloom produces the effect of a fountain 
of purple or white flowers. Fine strong plants, of both the 
purple and white varieties, $2 each. 
ROSES 
STANDARD CRIMSON RAMBLER. This Rose, on account of its free-flowering qualities and vigorous growth, makes a beautiful 
object when grown as a standard. Fine strong plants, C feet high, 75 cts. each. 
CRIMSON RAMBLER. A few extra strong plants, 50 cts. each, |$5 
per doz. , 
STANDARD HYDRANGEAS 
Of the well-known hardy Hydrangea 1 have secured some fine standards, 
5 to G feet high. 75 cts. each. 
PYRAMID BOX TREES 
Some flue sheared plants, trimmed pyramid shape, $1.50, $2 and $3 each, 
according to size. 
TRITOMA PFITZERI 
Flame Flower, or Torch Lily 
This new i ritoma is undoubtedly one of the most valuable introductions 
of recent years. Tritoma L'varia, or "Red-Hot Poker” plant, is highly 
prized on account of its picturesque appearance and its blooming so late 
in the fall after almost everything else is gone. This new variety is a great 
improvement in every respect. The flowers are much more refined and 
beautiful and are produced in the greatest profusion from early summer 
until late fall, coming into bloom at least two months before the older variety. 
It is equally desirable for garden effect or for cut-flowers. The flower-spikes 
are of gigantic size, frequently 4K feet high, with heads of bloom over 12 
inches long, of a rich orange-scarlet, shading to salmon-rose on the edge; a 
first-class acquisition. This plant is not quite hardy and should be protected 
in winter with a covering of leaves, or can be taken up, packed in sand and 
stored in a cold cellar over winter. 30 cts. each, $3 per doz., $20 per 100.
