It has been successfully used where a green sward was desired on land partially shaded by old trees.

PLANTS. HARDY FLOWERING SHRUBS.

Shrub orders must reach us not later than April 15, as the plants will not usually remain dormant after that date and they can not be successfully handled, except in a dormant condition.

HYDRANGEA, PANICULATA GRANDIFLORA.

(THE HARDY HYDRANGEA.)

One of the finest hardy shrubs ever introduced, and in size and magnificence of bloom not excelled by any shrub in cultivation. The bush in time attains a large size, growing in beauty year by year. It is in the full glory of bloom from August until the middle or last of October, when every branch is crowned with an immense panicle of fleecy, pure white flowers, changing later to a pinkish hue, sometimes a foot long and nearly as broad at the base, presenting an aspect of majestic grandeur that absolutely defies description. Entirely hardy, very free growing, a profuse bloomer and thrives in all soils. It should have a prominent place in every garden, not only because it is such a glorious shrub, but for its flowers appearing at a time when few others are to be found. It is planted in great numbers at Newport, and attracts a great deal of admiration at that well known place. A bed of one hundred makes a most striking appearance. Each 10 cts.; three for 27 cts., postpaid.

EVERBLOOMING SNOWBALL, HYDRANGEA.

Found growing wild in the rocky hills of Western Pennsylvania, this new hardy shrub was instantly recognized as something out of the ordinary and became a welcome addition to our list of really valuable plants. Few of our native garden shrubs are so attractive in habit and elegance of foliage. It is perfectly hardy, having stood a temperature of 20 degrees below zero without injury. The flower is very like the greenhouse Hydrangeas and pure white. The panicles are immense in size, but the everblooming habit of this variety is its most remarkable and value- able characteristic, blooming profusely from June until September. No hardy shrub introduced in years has had such unqualified endorsement as this New Ever- blooming Hydrangea. 18 cts. each, or three for 50 cts., postpaid.

SNOWBALL—VIBURNUM.

COMMON SNOWBALL (VY. opulus sterilis)—-A superb old-fashioned shrub, popular and much admired. Of large size and spreading habit, bearing in June large globular clusters of pure white flowers resembling immense snowballs. Each, 12 ets.

JAPAN SNOWBALL (VY. Plicatum)—The best of the Viburnums, of purer color and better form than the above, and one of the finest flowering shrubs, but difficult to propagate and hence rather searce. Moderate in growth “and compact in form, rich deep green plicated foliage; large, globular flower clusters of the purest white produced all over the bush in great abundance. Exceedingly choice, its fine flowers are very beautiful and its handsome plicate foliage makes it a lovely object at all tmesi 12 ects. each; the two for 20 cts., postpaid.

HONEYSUCKLES.

For real handsome vines, to be near you, climbing over windows and doorways, there is nothing prettier than sweet-scented Honeysuckles; the foliage is pretty, neat and clean, the flowers are almost continuous, and their fragrance delicious. The varieties described below are the very best.

HONEYSUCKLE HEDGES—Some of our friends have conceived the idea of planting Honeysuckles along the division fences, and it is wonderful what pretty hedges they make. Iron or wire fences are the best, but almost any kind is soon covered with a mantel of living green. Other climbing vines will answer the purpose, but the sweet-scented Honeysuckles are both fragrant and beautiful. They should be planted two feet apart.

HALL’S JAPAN—A strong growing, almost evergreen sort, with pure white flowers changing to yellow. Very fragrant and covered with flowers from July to November.

MONTHLY FRAGRANT—Red and yellow; very fragrant. Blooms all summer; leaves tinged reddish color. =

SCARLET TRUMPET—Bright red trumpet-shaped flowers; blooms freely, vigorous and rapid growing. Price of Honeysuckles 12 cts. each; the three varieties, one of each, 30 cts.

RED TARTARIAN—Well known and popular shrub for the lawn or garden. Blossoms in May and June. WHITE TARTARIAN—Like the preceding. but with white blossoms. 12 ets. each; the two for 20 cts., postpaid.

SPIREA, (MEADOW SWEET.)

This class of shrubs offers a great variety, both in flowers and foliage, making them of the greatest value in a collection. They are of easy cultivation, rapid growth and will amply repay the planter with an abundance of flowers. ANTHONY WATERER—New Crimson Spirea. By all odds the finest of the dwarf

Spireas in brilliancy of color—a bright crimson—and is the most profuse and persistent bloomer of them all: bearing continuously large, flat clusters of lovely flowers throughout the whole of summer and autumn. The plant is of dwarf habit and dense growth, comes into bloom very early and when not more than fifteen inches high.

SPIREA BUMALDA—A dwarf-growing variety, producing a profusion of beautiful rose-colored flowers the entire summer and autumn.

SPIREA CALLOSA ALBA—A very fine dwarf-growing, white-flowered variety, per- fectly hardy; blooms in July and August.

SPIREA PRUNIFOLIA (Bridal Wreath)—Very double; flowers pure white and DOrae profusely the entire length of branches, perfectly double, like little aisies.

SPIREA VAN HOUTTEI—A vigorous plant that sends up numerous tall, slender shoots, which curve gracefully towards the ground, and the last of May or in June are literally covered with pure white flowers, making the bush a mass of snowy bloom.

Price, 12 cts. each; the five for 50 cts., postpaid.

WEIGELA.

This is a family of strong, vigorous growing shrubs that can be used to the best advatage either for single lawn specimens or for massing with other varieties. We strongly recommend them.

CANDIDA—Handsome snow-white flowers, borne in great profusion during June and July. Handsome light green foliage.

EVA RATHKE (New)—This is a very valuable and attractive new variety. The flowers are of a very deep, rich crimson color and are produced with the utmost profusion.

ROSEA—Large rose-colored flowers almost covering the whole plant.

VARIEGATA (Variegated Leaved)—Deep green leaves with a broad, distinetly defined margin of white around each. Flowers not so conspicuous as on the other varieties, but of a beautiful clear blush.

Price of each variety Weigela, 12 cts.; the four for 40 cts., postpaid.

ALTHEA.

(ROSE OF SHARON.)

The Altheas are fine, free-growing flowering shrubs of the easiest cultivation. They produce a profusion of pretty rose-like flowers during August and September, when other flowers are scarce. The diversity of color of the different sorts makes it possible to use them in considerable quantities even in grounds of small extent. They make very pretty flowering hedges. Double Red. Double Purple. Double White. Price, 12 cts. each; the three (one of each) for 30 cts., postpaid.

SYRINGA.

(MOCK ORANGE.)

The Syringa or Mock Orange has been a favorite shrub from time immemorial and among the many and valuable new ones it still remains a favorite. GARLAND—F lowers pure white and very highly scented; the profusion with which they are borne is what gives it the name of Garland Syringa.

GOLDEN—With beautiful golden yellow foliage, which keeps its color well the entire season. Will make a pleasing and striking contrast when planted with other shrubs. Price of each variety Syringa, 12 cts.; two for 20 cts., postpaid.
