CYTISUS ratisbonensis, Spring Broom, the first Cytisus to 
bloom in our collection early in May. Entirely hardy 
here.10 seeds, .15; 50 seeds, .45 
supinus (capitatus) Bigflower Broom, smothered with 
blooms in July. This Broom, with its neat compact 
habit to 3 ft. high of globular shape, deserves the atten¬ 
tion of landscape planters and soil conservationists. 
Plants grow and succeed in the poorest of soil and prove 
perfectly hardy with us. Transplanting in Spring offers 
no trouble if tops are cut back severely. 6500 seeds 
to the ounce. 
DAPHNE cneorum, Garland Flower. This plant does not 
seed satisfactorily in low altitudes. Seed offered is 
collected under great difficulties 5000 ft. above sea 
level. . 50 seeds, .45; 100 seeds, .75; 1000 seeds, $6.00 
DAV1D1A involucrata. Dove Tree, one of the choicest of 
flowering trees from China. We are offering this 
season a strain hardier than usual collected at an 
altitude between 8000 and 10,000 ft. According to 
our correspondent trees are found up to 12,000 ft. 
above sea level. . . .10 seeds, $1.50; 100 seeds, $10.00 
vilmoriana, Vilmorin’s Dove Tree, distinguished from 
former by minor botanical differences. Seed secured 
from a strain in cultivation. 
10 seeds, $1.50; 100 seeds, $10.00 
EUONYMUS bungeanus, the only Oriental Euonymus found 
frequently planted in this vicinity ultimately forming 
a small tree of graceful habit with pendulous branches 
and fairly persistent ornamental fruit, perfectly hardy 
North. 
patens, Spreading Euonymus, low shrub, very ornamental 
with its nearly evergreen foliage and orange-red fruit. 
Good for borders and in Azalea plantings, hardy in 
New England. 
planipes, in its erect habit with rather stout branches 
quite different from other Asiatic Euonymus. In our 
opinion, it is the most ornamental of all Euonymus 
due to its moderate size, large foliage and brilliant 
display of fruit, hardy in New England. 
FOTHERGILLA major. 
monticola. Two very fine and hardy native ornamentals 
of the Witch Hazel family, with attractive flowers in 
spring and brilliantly colored foliage in the fall. 
Monticola is the lesser and as a garden plant, in our 
opinion, the more valuable of the two. 
FRANKLINIA (Gordonia) Alatamaha, the well known 
Franklinia, America’s choicest flowering shrub bloom¬ 
ing in late Summer and Fall. 
10 seeds, .65; 100 seeds, 5.50 
MALUS baccata, Siberian Crab, dry pomes. 
baccata mandshurica, Mandshurian Crab. Two ex¬ 
tremely hardy and disease-resistant ornamental Apples 
doing well even in sandy soil. Fast growing bushy 
trees with large white flowers and clusters of red or 
yellow berry-like fruit. 
Domestic dry pomes. 
ioensis, Prairie Crab, the hardiest of our native Crab 
Apples, the proper stock for Bechel’s Crab (Malus 
ioensis plenus) which will not thrive on common 
apple. It is a good landscape object and valuable as a 
breeding parent for developing hardier eating apple 
varieties for the extreme North. Clean seed.
