Halesia Tetraptera 
FUCHSIA 
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 Each 65c, Three $1.65, Doz. $5.25 
This most interesting shrub came to us from the New York Botanicai 
Garden, where it has proven entirely hardy. It is in bloom all summer 
long until stopped by frost. The ruby-red pendent flowers are pro- 
duced by the hundreds, flowering just as freely in full sun as in light 
shade. A most interesting plant for the flower border or rock garden, 
blooming all summer. Like all Fuchsias, they are well adapted for shady 
locations. We advise protection anywhere north of Philadelphia. 
Magellanica alba Each 65c, Three $1.65, Doz. $5.25 
Has the same habit of growth as Magellanica but the pendent flowers 
are blush-white. A charming variety which also is somewhat hardier. 
HALESIA 
Tetraptera Each $2.00, Three $5.75, Doz. $20.00 
The Silver Bell or Snowdrop Tree, also sometimes called the Lily-of-the- 
Valiey Tree, is a most attractive round-headed, bushy little tree with 
horizontal branches and rather ordinary foliage. Its beauty consists in 
the millions of small white bells which dangle in bewildering profusion 
from the lower side of the branchlets. Certainly no flowering tree is 
handsomer and daintier than the Silver Bell when in full bloom, and it is 
always an object of great interest and curiosity. 
HYDRANGEAS 
Praecox Each $2.00, Three $5.75, Doz. $20.00 
This little known and most unusual Hydrangea is much more attractive 
than Paniculata Grandiflora which is commonly used. It makes large 
conical heads which are quite open. The individual florets are larger and 
more widely spaced in the flower, thus giving it a graceful and artistic 
appearance. The branches are stouter and well placed, all in all a fine 
summer flowering shrub of medium height, about 3 feet when_ fully 
grown. Hydrangea Praecox is a fine addition to the all too short list of 
summer flowering shrubs. Hardy anywhere and of easiest culture. We 
send flowering plants about 114% to 2 feet high. 
Quercifolia Each $2.00, Three $5.75, Doz. $20.00 
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 Paniculata, and are borne in enormous, 
conical heads which are very majestic and showy. Particularly valuable 
for the brilliant autumn coloring. Does well in shade. 
NEW AND UNUSUAL HYDRANGEAS 
Lindleyana Each $2.00, Three $5.75, Doz. $20.00 
In habit of growth, size and shape of blooms this Hydrangea is not 
unlike Acuminata. Its charm and difference is in the varied colors of 
its flowers. Hydrangea Lindleyana blooms in one cluster, snow-white, 
blue and carmine-pink flowers all in one umbel. The effect is most 
attractive cs well as unique. Foliage is handsome, rich green, bronzy 
tinted, adding greatly to the attractiveness of this shrub. Height about 30 
inches, likes a moist location and does exceptionally well in light shade. 
Acuminata (Laceflower) Each $2.00, Three $5.75, Doz. $20.00 
This new variety is outstanding for its delicately beautiful and very flat 
umbels of blooms. The small inner flowers are light blue tinted and 
surrounded by large white and rose sterile flowers. The effect created 
is delicate and lacy. The foliage is bronzy green. A choice plant of 
upright growth and perfectly hardy. Prefers a maist location but it must 
be well drained, in full sun or light shade. Plont in fall or spring. 
Domotoi (Hardy Semi-Double Hydrangea) 
Each $2.00, Three $5.75, Doz. $20.00 
This beautiful hardy variety produces large, globe-shaped clusters 
12 to 15 inches in diameter, composed of immense semi-double flow- 
ers. Very frequently the main stem produces 3 or 4 additional smaller 
bloom clusters below the main flower head, creating a veritable bou- 
quet. The flower heads are well above the foliage and last 8 to 10 
weeks or more. The color is pure pink on alkaline soil but will change 
to a magnificent light blue if the plant is grown in acid soil. It grows 
into a stout plant two to three feet in diameter and about the same 
in height, has healthy decorative foliage throughout the season, and 
last but not least it is one of the hardiest of the Hydrangeas. No 
matter ‘if all of last season’s growth freezes back to the ground, the 
blooms are produced on the new growth. An impressive, showy Hy- 
drangea which will grow in full sun or light shade. 

TREE FORM HYDRANGEA 
Paniculata grandiflora, Tree Form Each $4.00 
This is a Hydrangea tree with a stem about 4 feet high on top of which 
are grown several short branches, each one of which will bear the well 
known Hydrangea bloom. This form of tree is particularly fine as a single 
specimen in a flower bed, and they are indispensable in the formal 
garden and look very well on either side of garden steps.
