wealth of blossom by any class of hardy shrubs. The flowers vary enormously in size in 
the different species and embrace all shados of every oolor except blue. In many tho 
flowers are delightfully fragrant, — small wonder the desire to possess them is so gen- 
class of shrubs possess greater attractions, and given certain essential con¬ 
ditions and provided the varieties are perfectly hardy their culture is fairly simple."
