tinuous blooming shrub, reaching a 
height of 12 to 15 ft. unless kept in a 
lower, dense bush form by shearing the 
branches every few years. Begins to 
bloom in June, and continues through the 
greater part of the summer. Blossoms 
of carmine pink color, in beautiful sprays. 
This shrub does not make leaves, its 
foliage consists of small green buds all 
along its slender branches, the blossoms 
appear in the very same fashion. Tam- 
arix are not affected by saline or alkaline 
soil, they succeed even in the very spray 
of salt water at seaside plantings. Fully

each; 3 for 65c; 10 for $2.00. 2 to Batt:

This is the old fashioned 
Snowball variety, which is perfectly - 
hardy, developing into a large shrub 10 
to 12 ft. in height, and blooming most 
profusely. Of all the later introductions 
of Snowballs, none has ever come up to 
this strain in either hardiness, freedom 
of bloom, or perfect shape of blossoms. 
It prefers a moist and shady, or partly 
shaded place. As a single specimen on 
the lawn, as well as in the background 
of shrub groups, or against the wall, this 
is one of the most loved and admired 
shrubs. 12 to 18-inch nice young shrubs, 
40c each; 3 for $1.10. 2 to 3 ft. selected 
extra heavy shrubs, 70c each; 3 for $1.90, 
prepaid.
