CYTISUS austriacus, together with Cytisus supinus, have 
been favorites with European nurserymen of long 
standing. Both lend themselves to regular nursery 
practice and may be handled like any other shrub 
item, Cytisus austriacus grows into a compact shrub 
to 3 feet high of regular outline and presents a sleak 
appearance when covered with bright yellow flowers 
in June and July and with conspicuous seed pods later. 
A fine all-around garden plant, will prosper in dry spots 
ratisbonensis, Spring Broom, the first Cytisus to bloom 
in our collection early in May. A slender shrub to 6 feet. 
It is entirely hardy here and has come unscathed 
through winters in which even Cytisus supinus showed 
some frost damage..... 10 seeds, .15; 100 seeds, .45 
scoparius sulphureus, ‘Moonlight’? Broom, dwarfer 
than type, of compact habit with flowers of sulphur 
yellow blooming before the Scotch Broom........... 
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 
hardy with us. Transplanting in Spring offers no 
trouble if tops are cut back. 6500 seeds to the ounce, 
DIPELTA floribunda, new ornamental shrub from China, 
hardy at Boston, robust habit, to 10 ft. high, hand- 
some flowers of pale rose orange in throat

HYDRANGEA bretschneideri, New Hydrangea from China, 
medium sized shrub of compact habit, very attractive 
when flowering in July. As good background com- 
panions the similar but taller Hydrangea Xanthoneura 
and varieties are recommended........... X% oz., .75 
paniculata praecox, the praecox variety is so different 
from the common ‘‘P. G.”’ of the nursery trade that 
one would be inclined to believe it a different species. 
The plant grows into a large shrub assuming tree-like 
habit with spreading branches. Its white flowers 
appear a month before paniculata and remain for some 
time without a noticeable change in color. Plant 
produces seed in quantity and may easily be propagated 
by such. Seed is fine and a little goes a long way.... 
LONICERA alpigena, a low upright shrub, very attractive 
by its heart-shaped red fruit in July............ 
chrysantha latifolia, showy in spring when covered with 
a@ profusion of yellow flowers, fruit dark red. We offer
