Sambucus pubens 
Hemerocallus aurantiaca major 
This is the Red-Berried Elderberry which grows so plentifully in 
the Adirondacks, and, although one of the most effective and desira¬ 
ble of shrubs, it is rarely to be had from our nurserymen, who are very 
apt to overlook the value of many of our fine native things, of which 
this is one of the best. It is a vigorous, free-growing shrub that 
does equally well in sun or shade. The flowers are inconspicuous; 
but the fruit, which is most freely produced, is extremely effective, 
being a brilliant crimson in color, which contrasts splendidly with its 
fine foliage. It is the first shrub to ripen its fruit, being in full 
color by end of May, when the common Elderberry is in bloom. 
20 cts. each, $2 per doz., 
Celastrus paniculata 
This is a comparatively new variety of Bitter Sweet from Japan. 
It is a beautiful vine of very rapid growth and fine foliage, and pro¬ 
duces fruit much more freely than our native variety. The plants 
being male and female, one of each should be planted if fruit is de¬ 
sired. The fruit is orange-red in color and is extremely effective in 
the fall. 30 cts. each, $3 per doz. 
Japanese Maples 
The Japanese Maples are of dwarf habit, rarely growing over 5 or 
10 feet high, and are entirely hardy in the latitude of New York. The 
rich and glowing color of the leaves in spring and early summer 
makes them the most beautiful objects that can be planted on a lawn. 
A group of them during the months of May and June is a sight to be 
remembered. There are many varieties, all of which I can supply 
when desired; but the varieties offered below are the most beautiful 
and satisfactory of them all, and there is no place so small that 
should not have at least one of these exquisite dwarf trees. The 
stock that I offer is American-grown, and is much superior to the 
cheap imported Japanese stock, which I consider almost worthless.

“ Green Cut-leaved. Makes a splen¬

This is a new Japanese plant and is, undoubtedly, one of the best 
hardy plants of recent introduction. Almost everybody knows the 
old Yellow Day Lily, 
I which is deservedly 
popular. This new 
variety is incompar 
ably finer. The plants 
are more vigorous 
and of finer outline: 
the flowers are double 
the size, of splendid 
form and great sub¬ 
stance and a beauti¬ 
ful rich golden yellow 
in color. I have fully 
tested this plant in 
my experimental 
grounds and am 
greatly pleased with 
it. An importation 
j secured direct from 
Japan enables me to 
offer it at a moderate 
price. 50 cts. each, 
$5 per doz. 
Tritomas 
The Tritomas, 
which are variously 
known as Torch 
Lilies, Flame Flowers 
Tritomas. 
or Red-Hot Pokers, are among the most striking and decorative 
garden plants grown. They bloom in late summer and fall and are 
often seen in bloom after hard frosts when everything else has dis¬ 
appeared from the garden. They are not perfectly hardy, but live 
through the winter in well-drained soil if protected with a covering 
of manure; or they can Le dug up, packed in sand and stored in a 
cold cellar over winter. I offer a fine collection of varieties. 
Uvaria grandiflora. Coral to orange flowers; strong, 
vigorous grower.per 100, $10..$0 15 $1 50

Anemone Pennsylvanica 
This fine native wild flower would sell by the 
thousands if it were well known, for it is really one of 
the most desirable of hardy plants, and especially so 
when naturalized in large masses. It is of the easiest 
culture, requiring no attention after planting, and in¬ 
creases with great rapidity, so that a large space of 
ground can soon be covered with it. It grows about 12 
inches high, has good foliage throughout the season, 
and in June is covered with charming white single 
flowers. 15 cts. each, $1.50 per doz., $10 per 100. 
Japanese Maples. 
Lily-of-the-V alley 
I can supply good strong flowering pips of the best 
German Lily-of-the-Valley, at 30 cts. per doz., $2 per 
100. They should be planted 3 or 4 inches apart in a 
a partially shaded position.
