DECIDUOUS TREES AND SHRUBS 
Plants of Merit (Insufficiently known in the trade): 
AMELANCHIER canadensis, the true Downy Shadblow 
(not the usual mixture of various species), snow-white 
flowers before leaves. Habit erect, a rather stout 
shrub or small tree, the true seed is scarce. 
grandiflora, Apple Shadblow (canadensis x laevis, natural 
hybrids) intermediate between parents, flowering 
habit of laevis, buds often purplish pink, tinged pink 
when open (var. rubescens). Of our Eastern Amel- 
chier these hybrids grow the most vigorous, bloom 
most profusely and set the heaviest fruit. They are 
ornamentals par excellence. 
Northern seed... 
laevis, Allegheny Shadblow, Northern strain, the hand¬ 
somest Amelanchier in flower with the young purplish 
foliage and drooping flower racemes expanding at 
same time. Slender shrub usually not attaining size 
of canadensis or grandiflora. 
New England seed. 
stolonifera hybrids, natural hybrids with laevis and 
grandiflora, forming round bushes to 4 or even 6 ft. 
high, flowering habit of laevis with purplish young 
foliage and large fruit. 
AMPELOPSIS henryana, Silvervein Creeper, handsome 
creeper from China with plurplish foliage and white 
veins. 
ARCTOSTAPHYLOS uva-ursi, Bearberry, the very best 
ground cover plant for light sandy 6oils, dune-lands, 
rocky slopes, an excellent ornamental with its shiny 
foliage. New England seed. 
AZALEA altaclarensis, Altaclare Azalea, said to be a hybrid 
between Azalea mollis and our native viscosa, remark¬ 
able for its deep yellow flowers. 
CORNUS kousa chinensis, the beautiful Chinese Flowering 
Dogwood, with flowers of cream color, faster growing, 
more beautiful and hardy than Japanese form. 
COTONEASTER adpressa, Creeping Cotoneaster, prostrate 
more adapted to small rockeries than horizontalis and 
with larger berries, hardy in New England. 
foveolata, little known Cotoneaster of stout, erect habit 
with large distinctive foliage and black fruit. A fine 
ornamental, hardy in New England.
