monticola. Two very fine and hardy native ornamentals 
of the Witch Hazel family, with attractive flowers in

Franklinia, America’s choicest flowering shrub bloom¬ 
ing in late Summer and Fall.

in cultivation, winters around here if given wind pro¬ 
tection. A fine low broadleaved evergreen with hand¬ 
some lustrous foliage.

flowering size sooner than baccata, a fine ornamental 
Crab, truly named for its robust habit, broad pyra¬ 
midal in shape, a m.ass of large apple-blossom flowers
