RHODODENDRON, ROSE BAY 
(Parson's Hardy Varieties.) 
Hardy Shrub. One of the most valuable of our 
hardy decorative plants. The leaves are broad, glossv 
and evergreen. In June, when the masses of rich 
glossy-green are surmounted with scarlet, purple and 
white clusters, each cluster large enough for a bou- 
qtiet, the display is worthy of admiration. The plants 
we offer are twenty-four inches high, well established, 
well set with six to eight buds. Don’t confound these 
plants with the cheap kinds offered by some, as they 
are not the same. $1.00 each; $9.00 per dozen.

arching in their form. The bloom is so freely pro¬ 
duced as to cover the plant. Flowers a bright, soft 
red. 50 cents per dozen; $3.00 per 100.

RHUS CONTINUS

hardy shrub. Much admired for its long, feathery 
flower stalks, which give the tree the appearance of 
being covered with a cloud of smoke. 75 cents per 
dozen; $5.00 per 100. 
ROYAL PURPLE 
Strobilanthes Dyerianus —A new and very beautiful 
foliage plant from Singapore, which will become uni¬ 
versally popular on account of the brilliant and ex¬ 
quisite coloring of its leaves, the beauty of its flow¬ 
ers and its extraordinary easy growth and usefulness 
as a decorative plant. It surpasses the finest Coleus In 
exquisite coloring of its leaves, besides which the long 
racemes of lovely, violet blossoms with which the plant 
is covered in midwinter greatly enhance its value and 
beauty. 40 cents per dozen; $2.50 per 100. 
SALVIAS 
Price, 40 cents per dozen; $2.50 per 100. 
New Dwarf Scarlet Salvia Le President—The grand¬ 
est addition to our list of bedding plants. It forms a 
compact bush completely covered with rich, scarlet 
flowers. We have had plants that by actual meas¬ 
urement were only fifteen inches high and two feet 
across. As a border or vase plant it will be indis¬ 
pensable, and as it will bloom abundantly in pots, it 
will be of the greatest value as a market plant for 
florists. 
Splendens—The standard sort for bedding. Flower 
spikes of the most brilliant scarlet. 
Alba—A white variety of Splendens. Identical in 
every respect except in color, which is pure white. 
Splendens Variegata—White and red flowers, very 
evenly matched. 
New Dwarf Scarlet Salvia Mrs. Page—This variety 
simply hides the foliage and is a sheet of brightest 
scarlet. 
New Salvia Silverspot—The distinctive feature of 
this splendid novelty is its strikingly handsome spotted 
foliage. The leaves are rich, soft dark green with light 
sulphur or cream-colored spots of various sizes liber¬ 
ally sprinkled over them. The intense, bright scar¬ 
let flowers are very large; the plants are of neat, com¬ 
pact habit. This makes a desirable bedding plant, 
rivaling the most gorgeous Coleus, its bright spotted 
leaves and brilliant scarlet flowers making it a most 
effective bedder. 50 cents per dozen; $3.00 per 100; 
$25.00 per 1,000. 
STOKESIA CYANEA, or CORNFLOWER 
ASTER 
• (Hardy Plant.) 
“Has been the most universally admired flower on 
our grounds.” “The plant grows from eighteen to 
twenty-four inches high and produces the Centaurea- 
like lavender-blue flowers from four to five inches in 
diameter early in July until late in October, even after 
the frost has destroyed nearly all other outdoor flow¬ 
ers. It is of easiest culture, succeeding in any open, 
sunny position; not only is it desirable as a single 
plant in the mixed border, but it can also be used with 
good effect in large, solid masses, and at the same 
time is invaluable as one of the finest cut flowers. We 
have no hesitancy in saying that the Stokesia is the 
one most desirable hardy plant in our list.” 50 cents 
per dozen; $3.00 per 100. 
SPIREAS 
(Hardy Shrubs.) 
Van Houtte—Clusters of twenty to thirty flat, white 
florets make up the raceme. Perfectly hardy and an 
early bloomer. 
New Crimson Spirea Anthony Waterer—A bright 
crimson. It makes a low, compact bush fifteen to eigh¬ 
teen inches high, and is covered nearly, the whole 
growing season with large umbels of deep crimson 
flowers. 
Price of above Spireas^fine plants, 60 cents per 
dozen; $4.00 per 100. Two-year-old plants, $1.00 per 
dozen.
