HARDY FUCHSIAS 
Magellancia. 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, pendant 
flowers are produced by the hundreds, flow- 
ering just as freely in full sun as in light 
shade. Like all Fuchsias, they are especial- 
ly adapted for shady locations. We advise 
protection anywhere north of Philadelphia. 
Three $1.10, doz. $3.30 
Magellancia Alba. The pure white form of 
the above. It is exactly the same in habit 
of growth except the flowers are white. It 
is hardier than the red flowered variety. 
Three $1.50, doz. $4.50 
Riccartoni, Scarlet Beauty. Lovely pen- 
dant 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 Massa- 
chusetts it requires shade and freezes down 
to ground level as does the Butterfly Bush. 
Three $1.40, doz. $4.00 
ORIENTAL POPPY 
Snowflame (Patent No. 365). The lower half 
of the flower is pure white, the upper half a

in width with each flower. 
Three $2.00, doz. $7.50

gests a delicate, yet brilliant shrimp pink,

effect created by a well-grown plant is 
exquisite and never before seen in Phlox.

TREE WISTERIA 
No more lovely sight can be imagined 
than a Tree Wisteria in bloom. The 
purplish blue flowers are produced by 
the hundreds and completely cover the 
tree during May, transforming it into 
a thing of sheer beauty. In formal gar- 
dens Tree Wisterias are indispensable. 
On the lawn they develop into beauti- 
ful specimens and live for renerations, 
increasing in beauty and dignity each 
successive season. The plants we offer 
are grown on stems about 4 feet high 
and the crowns are about 21% to 3 feet 
in diameter. Every plant has bloomed 
before it leaves the nursery.
