STRAWBERRY PLANTS.

All the varieties offered are perfect-flowering (bisexual) except where marked P. The latter
are pistillate and require a row of a perfect-flowering sort planted every 8 or 10 feet to
pollenize their blossom.

These, if planted in July and August, produce a large crop the next summer. Being grown
in pots they may be shipped to a distance and planted with almost no interruption to
their growth. The plants may be set in beds of three rows one foot apart and one foot
distant in the rows, with a space of two and one-half feet between the outside rows of
adjoining beds left for a pathway. They may also be planted in single rows three feet
apart and one foot apart in the rows.

August. Per 100, $3.50; 250, $8.00; 500, $15.00; 1000, $30.00; for

Glen Mary. Large, conical, bright red berries; firm and of fine flavor.

Sample. P. Excellent for either market or home use; prolific, large, firm, and delicious.

STRAWBERRIES. — Continued.
MEDIUM.

Brandywine. A large heart-shaped berry, perfect in form, bright red in color, firm flesh, red
to the centre and of rich spicy flavor. A great cropper especially on heavy soils, holds its
fruit well up from the ground and generally succeeds everywhere.

Golden Gate. A strong growing variety bearing rich crimson fruit without green tips and with
quality similar to the Marshall. It blooms early and late, making it a good variety to pollenize
the pistillate sorts.

Mark Hanna. P. An exceedingly prolific variety ripening in midseason. The berries are of
enormous size, attractive in color and of splendid quality.

Marshall. The fruit of this remarkable sort is of enormous size, of handsome, glossy, dark
crimson color, and of delicious flavor. It is one of the best midseason berries, either for private
use or market. It is a vigorous grower and requires good soil and high cultivation. As it
does not thrive in all soils, it should not be planted extensively until its adaptability is ascer-
tained.

New York. One of the best sorts for private or market gardens. ‘The berries are large, of
conical form; dark red color, firm texture and of remarkably sweet flavor. In the market they
sell at sight.

Pride of Cumberland. The plant is a vigorous grower and free from rust, and ripening about
one week earlier than Gandy; it is nearly as large, equally firm, as good a color, thriving in
either high or low land, but owing to the immense crops it sets, the ground should be well
fertilized to ensure best results.

LATE TO VERY LATE.

Belmont. This oli favorite is still considered by many to be the finest late berry. The
fruit is of handsome appearance and keeps well.

Chesapeake. The plants of the Chesapeake are large and vigorous with rich dark green foliage.
The fruit is of large size, deep red in color and of a rich aromatic flavor.

Commonwealth. This is the latest of all Strawberries; bearing large conical, deep crimson
fruit, sweet and of quality equal to the well-known Bubach. Not only an extra large berry,
but also very productive, of deep rich color and solid. It is smooth and quite juicy.

Gandy. This popular old variety is probably known by most berry growers. It is more largely
grown than any other late variety. On sandy soils it is unproductive.

Minute Man. P. A very productive sort, ot fine quality.

New Home. As late and large as Gandy, fruit a bright red color that does not lose its lustre
and turn dark for a long time after being picked. It is a vigorous grower, and, unlike Gandy,
will produce a large crop on either high or low land.

William Belt. An exceptionally fine berry. In quality it heads the list. The berries are
as large, with some specimens larger than the Bubach. Its color is a bright, glossy, deep red:
season as late as Gandy.

Stevens’ Late Champion. A new variety of the Gandy type, yielding large crops of
beautiful berries very late in the season.

ALPINE VARIETY.

Large Red Alpine. No one who has eaten the delicious little strawberries of the Alps will
ever forget their delicious aromatic flavor. We are now able to offer this large fruited variety
of the Alpine strawberry. Per doz., $1.00.

NEW EVERBEARING STRAWBERRY.

Superb. A variety of recent introduction, producing large glossy, dark red berries of good
quality. The plant is of compact growth and makes runners freely. When late fruit is desired
it is better to pinch off the first flowers, and also keep the runners cut, which will give vigor
to the later crop. 20c. each; $2.00 per doz.; $14.00 per 100. Ready August Ist.

ENGLISH VARIETIES. Per dozen, $1.25. Ready August 1st.
British Queen. A popular English variety producing large, conical, pale red berries.
President. The fruit is crimson in color and of superior flavor; good for forcing
Standard. Very early, small, dark-red berries of fine flavor; forces well.

Duke of Edinburgh. Late. Fruit irregular, but otherwise similar to British Queen.

in, the hardy garden during the next decade or

two. Hitherto the region has been unexplored and

the recent expeditions of Mr. E. H. Wilson, the fa-

Boies ‘ mous plant collector, in the interest of the Arnold

—— = a: Arboretum, of Harvard University, have resulted

in the introduction of hundreds of most desir-

able plants. These will be offered to the pub-
lic as fast as stocks in sufficient quantities
can be produced. Of the following list,
many are placed before the publie for the
first time.

CLEMATIS ARMANDI. A new, hardy

species from the mountains of Western China

of strong rampant growth and covered with a

wealth of glossy, deep green, luxuriant foliage,

which is evergreen. During the past three win-

ters, it has stood in our nurseries with only a slight

covering to keep off the sun. The individual flowers,

of which there are often from a dozen to thirty in a cluster,

are about two inches across, white, often rosy pink on the back and

fragrant. It begins to flower in May. This species is a rapid grower,

and should prove very valuable for covering pergolas and _ trellises.
Each, $2.50; dozen, $25.00.

AMPELOPSIS HENRYANA. Vitis Henryana. In habit, this new climber

resembles our native woadbine. The ground color of the leaves is dark velvety
green, with the mid-rib and principal veins silvery white. The foliage has a
very striking appearance in autumn when the ground color changes to vivid red,
the mid-rib and vein remaining white. In Massachusetts, this vine requires pro-
tection during winter, but would probably prove quite hardy south of New York,
or even farther north where the influence of the ocean moderates the temperature.
Award of Merit by the Royal Horticultural Society of London. Plants from 2}-inch
pots, each, 50cts.; dozen, $5.00, Plants from 3}-inch pots, each, 75 cts.; dozen,
$8.00.

AMPELOPSIS THOMSONII. Vitis Thomsonii. This charming new climber
is one of the most beautiful of the Woodbine family. It requires protection during
winter. The leaves are greenish purple above, and bright claret color beneath;
changing in the autumn to rich red. Award of Merit by the Royal Horticultural
Society of London. Plants from 2{-inch pots, each, 50 cts.; dozen, $5.00; plants

from 33-inch pots, each, 75 cts.; dozen, $8.00.

BERBERIS BREVIPANICULATA. A bush 4 to 6 feet tall with wedge-shaped
small leaves clustered together and assuming fine tints in autumn. The small yel-
low flowers are freely produced on erect panicles 3 to 5 inches long. These are fol-
lowed by masses of salmon-red fruits in early autumn. The foliage is retained very
late. Its several fine qualities make this new Barberry one of the handsomest and

most distinct of its class. Now offered for the first time. Each, $1.00; dozen,

$10.00.

CLEMATIS MONTANA RUBENS.
See illustration. This beautiful hardy,
new Clematis begins to bloom early in
June when a profusion of soft rosy-red
blooms resembling those of the Jap-
anese Anemone are produced. As the
flowers are borne on the young wood,
they appear more or less freely until
frost. A First Class Certificate was
awarded to this plant by the Royal
Horticultural Society of London,

Mr. A. E. Thatcher of the Arnold Ar-
boretum, writing of this plant, says:—
“During the last few years we have
received from China, through the ex-
ploration of Mr. E. H. Wilson, many
remarkable and beautiful new hardy
climbers, but up to the present time
none of them surpassthis wonderful rosy-
red variety of our old friend Clematis
montana. Every one knows well the
value of C. montana and the red va-
riety is in every respect, except the
color of the flowers and foliage, an
exact counterpart. Itis perfectly hardy,
and for any position where the _ best
hardy climbers are desired no plant is
better suited. It will grow successfully
in any good garden soil, fully exposed
to the sun, and needs but little attention.
The flowers, about 2 inches across, are
produced in thousands on an established
plant, which presents one of the most
beautiful objects possible to obtain in
our gardens. Clematis montana rubens
is one of the most beautiful hardy climb-
ers it is possible to grow and should be
in every garden.”’

Plants from 34-inch pots, each, 75 ets.;
dozen, $8.00.

Plants from 24-inch pots, each, 50 cts.;
dozen, $5.00.

THALICTRUM DIPTEROCARPUM.
This elegant and graceful plant is
easily the finest of all the Meadow
Rue family. In a wild state it grows
5-6 feet tall but under cultivation it
occasionally grows as much as 10 feet
tall. The foliage is much divided and
resembles closely that of the Co-
lumbine. The: stems terminate in
July and August in a much-branched
panicle of flowers, bright rosy-lilac
in color and about an inch across.
The whole plant is very unlike an
ordinary Meadow Rue and extremely
ornamental. Good rich loam and a
well drained sunny situation are the
essentials for its successful culture.
Each, 75 cts.; dozen, $8.00.

Clematis tanguticus.

PHILODENDRON CAINENSE. A small hardy tree, growing 25
to 30 feet tall with rough ornamental bark and fine pinnate leaves, which
assume a brighter yellow color in the autumn. In China its bark is
valued as a tonic medicine. An interesting addition to the Arboretum.

Each, $2.50; dozen, $25.00.

CLEMATIS KOREANA. In habit this resembles C. tanguticus
but differs from that variety in having glaucous foliage and flowers of
a coppery-yellow. This, as its name implies is Korean, not Chinese.

2-inch pots, 30 cts. cach; $3.00 per dozen.

HYDRANGEA PETIOLARIS. This splendid hardy climber, hitherto,
has been but little known, although it was introduced from Japan a gen-
eration ago. Once established, it climbs rapidly, clinging by its little
rootlets like English ivy. The foliage is bright green, quite massive,
and numerous flat flower-cymes are produced which average 8 to 10
inches in diameter. The flowers are white, coming in the early summer.

t-inch pots, 75 cts each; $8.00 per dozen.

ILEX CARALLINA. A very pretty evergreen Holly, growing naturally,
10 to 12 feet tall and bearing almost sessile clusters of coral-red fruit. The
leaves are ovate, shining green and though spiny in the juvenile stage are
nearly smooth in adult specimens. It is probably quite as hardy as the
European Holly. Now offered for the first time. Each, $1.00; dozen,
$11.00.

CLEMATIS TANGUTICUS. Fine Chinese variety of free and rapid growth;
foliage dense and bright green. A good climber and one of the best ground-
covering plants. Flowers bright yellow. August—October. 2-inch pots,
30 cts, each; $3.00 per dozen.

HYPERICUM PATULUM VAR. HENRYI. A new hardy St. John’s Wort,
growing 24 to 4 feet with masses of clear yellow flowers produced in great
profusion during July and August. The leaves are elliptic-ovate about 14
inches long and are retained late into the fall. A very desirable yellow-flowered
shrub. Offered for the first time. Each, $2.50; dozen, $25.00.

PHILADELPHUS INCANUS. Bush growing 6 to 10 feet tall, much
branched and twiggy in habit and exceedingly floriferous. The flowers are
pure white 14 inches or more across and produced in early July. The leaves
are woolly, ovate and retained well into the late fall. A very desirable and
useful shrub. Strong plants. Offered for the first time. Each, $2.50: dozen,
$25.00.

PHILADELPHUS SERICANTHUS VAR. REHDERIANUS. A fine Mock-

orange growing 10 to 12 feet tall with large handsome flowers freely produced «

in July. It is very distinct from the type and a very valuable addition to
the shrubbery. A great acquisition, never before offered. Each, $3.00; dozen
$32.00.

PHILADELPHUS MAGDALENA. Oneof the prettiest and neatest of all the
Asiatic species of Mock-orange. It forms a much-branched bush 6 to 8 feet
high and flowers as freely as any of its family. It is perfectly hardy around
Boston and never fails to produce a wealth of blossoms about mid-June. Each.
$2.00; dozen, $20.00.

LILIES FOR FORCING.

The bulbs may be potted from August onward in a compost
of equal parts turfy loam, leaf mold, rotted cow manure, and
sand. It is best to start them in pots not exceeding twice their
own diameter, in which they may remain until started eight inches
or more. They should be transferred then to larger pots in which
to bloom, exercising great care not to disturb the roots or break
the soil from about them, and setting them considerably deeper in
the larger pots. This method prevents the soil from becoming
sour, and enables the roots forming at the base of the stem to be-
come feeders, greatly increasing the number and size of the blossoms.
Ij Lilies are wanted by mail, add 5 cents each for postage.

ENGLISH AND JAPANESE GARDEN CONSTRUCTION.

Rustic work is now regarded as an indispensable element in natural garden
composition.

Each situation calls for its own particular treatment, and we, therefore, aim to
adapt our work to its environment. For this reason, we rarely build two Pergolas
or Summer Houses alike.

We are prepared to furnish estimates on contemplated work. In our con-
struction we use red cedar, white cedar, black Canadian spruce and laurel.
