SYMFHOR1CARPUS 
Rosa Spinosissima 
LIMITED STOCK 
We have at last succeeded in getting a stock of this rare and exquisitely beautiful single 
hardy Rose. In our opinion it is one of the most beautiful things on earth, ami is surpassed 
only by the Cherokee Rose of the South, which is not hardy in our climate. I his Rose grows to 
four or five feet, compact and bushy in habit, and in June is covered with large yellowish single 
white flowers of indescribable beauty. Planted in groups in the shrubbery, it produces an effect 
no description can do justice to. (See illustration, page 4.) $1.25 each, $12 per doz. 
Sciadopitys verticillata 
This rare Japanese evergreen is one of the most distinct and beautiful varieties in cultiva¬ 
tion. It is not perfectly hardy north of this, but can be grown in a sheltered position. We 
have a stock of extremely fine plants coming from Japan.

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. Price of either 
variety, 20 cts. each, $1.75 per doz., $12 per 100. 
Japanese Magnolias 
The Japanese Magnolias are rarely seen in this country, hut 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, 
hut the beauty of the (lowers is charming. Never have we seen anything daintier and lovelier than 
the flowers of if. parri flora or if. Watsoni, and the odor of it. hypoleuca is most delicious.

New Rose, Madame N. Levavasseur, or “Baby 
Crimson Rambler” 
This Rose is a cross between Crimson Rambler and Gloire des Polyantha, 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 titan 2 to 2% feet, forming a lovely hush, all covered with flowers 
and blooming from spring until frost. Strong plants, 35 cts. each, $3.50 per doz., 
$25 per 100. 
Hardy Bamboos 
The following Bamboos have proven perfectly hardy in the latitude of Philadelphia. 
BAMBUSA AUREA has 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 0 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; large 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.
