LAKUE-FLOWEKLD CLEMATIS 
New Weeping Colorado Blue Spruce 
(Picea pungens glauca pendula) 
This splendid new evergreen is undoubtedly one of the finest novelties ever sent 
out, and was awarded First-class Certificates by the Royal Horticultural Society, 
Condon, and the Homological Society of Holland. This variety lias the finest rich blue 
foliage, even brighter than the upright-growing variety, and possesses all the desirable 
and valuable qualities of its parents. The great quality of this new conifer is its 
striking and graceful pendulous habit in all stages of its growth. All the branches, 
even the young shoots, are very drooping. 
This evergreen is recommended to those who desire a tree of great distinction and 
rarity. Very small plants, $3 each; small plants, $8 each; larger plants, $10. Speci¬ 
mens, $25 to $75 each. 
Japanese Cherries 
The double - flowering Japanese Cherries are beautiful beyond description, and 
nothing is more free-flowering,—even the smallest are covered with the lovely white or 
delicate pink flowers early in the spring, before the leaves appear. 75c. ea., $8 per doz. 
CLEMATIS 
COCCINEA HYBRIDS. These are a new race of hardy Clematis, obtained by Messrs. 
George Jackman & Son from the beautiful American species, C. coccinea , and 
one of the older hybrids, named Star of India. The flowers of the progeny are 
quite distinct, both in color and shape, from all other Clematis in cultivation, and 
the plants are hardy, free-growing and free-flowering. 
COUNTESS OF ONSLOW. Flowers bell-shaped, bright violet-purple, with a broad 
scarlet median band on each petal. First-class certificate, Royal Horticultural 
Society. Extra strong plants, $1. 
DUCHESS OF ALBANY. Flowers bright pink, deeper in the center, lighter at the 
edge of the petals. Useful for cutting. Award of Merit, Royal Horticultural 
Society. Extra-strong plants, $1.

Climbing Hydrangea 
We have at last succeeded in getting a stock of the rare Schizophragma Hydran- 
i/eoides, known as the Climbing Hydrangea. It is one of the rarest and most beauti¬ 
ful vines, having flowers similar to Hydrangea Hortensia . Fine strong, pot-grown 
plants, 75 cts. each, per doz. 
A NEW HARDY PRIVET 
Ligustrum Regelianum 
California Privet has gained an immense popularity for hedging, which it does not deserve, as it is not reliably hardy, and in this climate 
every severe winter injures it, and sometimes it is frozen to the ground. The beautiful, graceful Regel’s Privet is absolutely hardy and 
more desirable in every way. It is a dense shrub with stiff, twiggy, horizontal, spreading branches, drooping at the ends. An elegant 
shrub for specimens, massed planting or hedges. We believe it will become one of the most popular varieties as soon as it is better known. 
It forms a graceful, symmetrical bush, sufficiently dense for hedge purposes without trimming. As a single specimen or in a border of mixed 
shrubs it is most effective. It also gives pleasing effects when massed against buildings or on slopes and banks. 20 cts. each, $2 per doz., 
$15 per 100. Smaller plants, 15 cts. each, $1.50 per doz.. $10 per 100. 
New Upright Honeysuckles 
I have never seen anything more striking than the display of the New Upright Honeysuckles in the Arnold Arboretum in Boston. 
These splendid shrubs are made a special feature in this famous botanical garden, and nothing is more worthy of a prominent position. 
They delight thousands in the spring when they are covered with their charming sweet-scented flowers, but their great glory is at midsum¬ 
mer when they are loaded with the most brilliant and beautiful berries borne by any shrub. When they become known, we predict a popu¬ 
larity for these shrubs beyond that of the popular Hardy Hydrangea which is now sold by the hundreds of thousands. They have every good 
quality: Perfect hardiness, vigorous growth, beautiful rich green foliage that is us persistent as that of the California privet and this season 
was bright and green until almost Christmas, having two distinct seasons of unsurpassed beauty. These must not be confused with the climb¬ 
ing Honeysuckles so extensively used for covering porches. They are vigorous, upright-growing shrubs, suitable for large groups, speci¬ 
mens, screens or untrimmed hedges. We have been offering these shrubs for two or three years but could obtain only a few plants at a high 
price. We now control a stock of a few thousand plants which, while they last, we will furnish at the following low prices:
