CARAGANA PYGMEA. Native of the Caucasus to Siberia and the Thibet. 
Grows from one to three feet high, makes rather a dense bush, finely cut 
foliage, yellow pea-like flowers. Makes a fine low, dense hedge. This is 
rather rare and hard to get, and our own quantity is very limited, but we 
highly recommend this dwarf shrub. 15-18 in. 50c. We overlooked giving 
the price on Caragana arborescens, so here it is: 2-3 ft. 35c; 3-4 ft. 40c; 
4-5 ft. 50c. See also under hedging for quantity prices. 
YELLOWTIG DOGWOOD. We also overlooked giving this under Cornus 
or Dogwood. This is a yellow barked variety, useful with the red barked 
.varieties in planting together to furnish contrast. 2-3 ft. 40c. 
ELDER. Sambucus. From sambuca, Latin name for a musical instru- 
ment, supposed to have been made from elder-wood. Natural order of 
Caprifoliaceae. The common Elder furnishes berries that have medicinal 
value, and are used in cookery to some extent, also for elderberry wine. 
GOLDEN ELDER. 5S. nigra aurea. An excellent ornamental plant for use 
with other shrubbery, its bright golden foliage is quite picturesque and 
effective. If young shoots are pinched back regularly all summer the 
plants may be kept dwarf, and of fine golden color all season. It should 
be planted in full sun to obtain best color. White flowers borne in masses 
followed by large clusters of black berries. 2-3 ft. plants with 2 canes, 
25c each; 3-4 ft. 60c. 
CUTLEAF ELDER. A green foliaged variety, but with finely cut foliage, 
often called Fern Leaved Elder. Both of Elders described grow up to a 
heighth of 6-7 ft. 2-3 ft. 25c; 3-4 ft. 50c.

mostly in Central and Eastern Asia, extending to South Asia and Australia. 
Some are native of the Western states, all are low-growing trees or shrubs. 
Euonymus atropurprea. Native species of the West, called Wahoo or burn- 
ing Bush, valuable for handsome foliage, abundance of purple flowers, and 
its copious crimson fruit in fall. The frost also causes the leaves to turn a 
brilliant red. Grows up to 15 feet, and good for general planting. 2-3 ft. 50c. 
Euonymus alata. Cork Bark or Winged Euonymus. Stiff upright shrub, up 
to 8 feet, branches have corky wings, flowers inconspicuous, foliage colors 
beautiful in fall, fruit pretty, resembling bittersweet. Excellent shrub for 
the lawn. 24-30 in. 50c.

ornament and fragrance. Very popular shrubs and deservedly so. Good

comes early in spring. 
Tartarian Honeysuckle. Grows from 6-12 ft. high. Perhaps the best known, 
rather upright in growth, flowers freely with pink blosoms. Makes ideal 
hedge plant. 2-3 ft. 35c.

grows not quite so tall, but more spreading, and dense. Pale flowers, follow- 
ed by red fruits. Becomes very twiggy. "-° “+ 8 ft. 3-4 ft. 40c.

to this extensive genus, the name taken from the word vieo, to tie, be-
