EUONYMUS 
Alatus compactus (Dwarf Flame Euonymus) Each $1.00, Doz. $10.00 
In the Arnold Arboretum in Boston this shrub causes much com¬ 
ment each autumn for its unbelievable brilliance of foliage. 
Its compact growth, easy culture, and slow growth make it one 
of the outstanding shrubs for hedges as well as individual speci¬ 
mens in the garden. Its ultimate height is six feet. Be sure 
to plant one or more of them in your garden for a brilliant 
autumn foliage display. Does well in shade. 
FORSYTHIA 
The name "Golden Bell" has been attached to this family of 
handsome shrubs, but nobody uses it, and in consequence, the 
name of William Forsyth, one of the great gardeners in history, 
is perpetuated in common speech through the Forsythias, which 
have become one of the most popular groups of shrubs grown in 
gardens. They should be given a place where they can grow un¬ 
trammeled by restricted space and without pruning. There is 
nothing so miserable to look at as a Forsythia which has been 
clipped into some formal shape, or a line of them compelled to 
serve as a hedge; and there is nothing more beautiful and more 
expressive of springtime than the early grace of a Forsythia allowed 
to develop naturally according to its own sweet will. 
Intermedia primulina Each $1.00, Doz. $10.00 
This splendid shrub makes annual growths 3 to 7 feet high and 
they are especially attractive during March and April with their 
dense, large, lemon-yellow flowers with revolute lobes. 
Intermedia ovata Each $1.00, Doz. $10.00 
(Korea.) The best form is compact growing, seldom more than 
4 feet high and it is probably the prettiest of the family. The 
branches bear charming campanulate bright yellow, scented 
flowers during February and March, even in severe weather. 
FUCHSIA 
Most tender shrubs used for bedding or cool greenhouse decora¬ 
tion in the temperate zone. They are charming subjects for the 
shady garden, available in many colors and forms. 
Culture. Ordinary good loam, well drained. They do not like 
heavy, wet clay soils. Do well in shady places where it is difficult 
to flower other plants. Magellanica is a hardy variety, wintering 
over outdoors if the plants are protected with straw during the 
winter. 
Magellanica Three $1.10, Doz. $3.30, 100 $20.00 
This most interesting shrub came to us from the New York 
Botanical Garden, where it has proven entirely hardy. It is in 
bloom all summer long until stopped by frost. The ruby-red, 
pendent flowers are produced by the hundreds, flowering just as 
freely in full sun as in light shade. A most interesting plont for 
the flower border or rock garden, where it fits in perfectly, 
blooming all summer. Like all Fuchsias, they are especially 
adapted for shady locations. We advise protection onywhere 
north of Philadelphia. 
Magellanica alba Three $1.50, Doz. $4.50, 100 $30.00 
Has the same habit of growth as Magellanica but the pendent 
flowers are blush-white. A charming variety which also is some¬ 
what hardier. 
Riccartoni Three $1.50, Doz. $4.50, 100 $30.00 
Lovely pendent crimson-red and purple flowers. A hybrid of 
unknown origin. It is used as a boundary hedge in many places 
in the south and west of England and Ireland where moisture, 
fog, and a mild cool climate bring it to perfection. Here in 
Ohio it requires shade, the same as Magellanica and freezes 
down to ground level as does the Butterfly Bush.

Hydrangea Arborescens Grandiflora, Hills of Snow 
HYDRANGEA 
Arborescens grandiflora Each $0.75, Doz. $7.50 
(Hills of Snow Hydrangea.) The large clusters of white flow¬ 
ers average about 4 to 5 inches in diameter, appear from June 
until the end of September. There are few plants that will 
bloom so freely in shade as well as in full sun. Not particular 
as to soil or location. A valuable shrub for o difficult place. 
Ultimate height about 4 to 5 feet. 
Paniculata grandiflora Each $0.75, Doz. $7.50 
This variety is very well known, being almost in every garden. 
Its large conical heads, 1 2 to 18 inches long, become pink and 
red as the flower ages. If you want very large flowers, be sure 
to prune very severely each spring, also give it plenty of water 
during the summer. 
Quercifolia Each $1.00, Doz. $10.00 
The Oakleaf Hydrangea is a rather uncommon bush. It has 
big, artistic leaves, indented, and somewhat ruffled, resembling 
in a magnified way the foliage of some gigantic oak. The 
flowers are not a great deal unlike those of Hydrangea pan¬ 
iculata, and are borne in enormous, conical heads which are 
very majestic and showy. Particularly valuable for the brilliant 
autumn coloring. Does well in shade. 
Opuloides, Blue Bird Each $1.50, Doz. $15.00 
On Cape Cod, Massachusetts, in a small, well kept garden sur¬ 
rounding a fine old home which once belonged to a clipper ship 
captain, one of us observed a magnificent specimen of the blue 
Hydrangea opuloides. The coloring is a deep and intense blue 
never observed in the tender Hortensis varieties, now exten¬ 
sively in use by florists and commonly seen in gardens. Upon 
request the owner permitted us to take some cuttings of this 
beautiful plant which he told us his father had brought from 
China. We have multiplied these cuttings and can now offer 
a fine lot of flowering plants. We recommend slight protection 
in the colder section of the country. Grow in sun or light shade. 
Allow two feet square for each plant. Do not use lime, it 
seriously affects the coloring, in fact on alkaline soils we advise 
mixing one pound aluminum sulphate to ten square feet, mak¬ 
ing 3 or 4 applications as needed with the soil in order to bring 
out the marvelous blue color to best advantage. Here is a 
beautiful flowering shrub you will enjoy possessing.
