fully kept off until July, or the plants will completely exhaust themselves before fall. Lf

New and Rare Plants from the Wilds of China.
Gellceted for the Arnold Arboretum of Harvard University by the indefatigable plant
collector, Mr. E. H. Wilson, in remote and hitherto unexplored regions.
Gold Medal Awarded by the Massachusetts Horticultural Society.
A number of these plants were
offered by us last year for the first
time. We now offer for the first time
another group of these plant treasures.
They are attracting universal interest,
many orders coming from Europe,
Japan and other parts of the globe.
They are unquestionably the finest
plant novelties extant.
AMPELOPSIS Henryana. (Vitis Hen-
ryana.) In habit, this new climber
resembles our native woodbine. 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 protec-
tion 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. Each 30 cts.; doz.,
$3.00.
AMPELOPSIS Thomsonii. (Vitis Thom-
sonii.) 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 Horticul-
tural Society of London. Each, 30 cts.;
doz., $3.00.
AMPELOPSIS aconitifolius dissecta. A
perfectly hardy vine, growing 8 to 10
ft. tall, with elegantly dissected foliage and
bright blue fruit; splendid for trellises.
Each, 75 cts.; doz., $7.50.
BERBERIS brevipaniculata. A bush 4
to 6 ft. tall with wedge shaped small leaves
clustered together and assuming fine tints
in autumn. The small yellow flowers are
freely produced on erect panicles 3 to 5
in. long. ‘These are followed 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. Each, 50 cts.; doz., $5.00
Deutzia discolor.
Buddleia variabilis magnifica.
BUDDLEIA asiatiea. ‘‘White flowered Win-
ter Lilac.’ An elegant pot plant suit-
able for general decorative purposes and
cut flowers. Cultural requirements same
as those of Chrysanthemum. Blossoms
December to March; every shoot termi-
nating in a slender tail of pure white, de-
liciously fragrant flowers. A notable ac-
quisition. Each, 25 cts.; doz., $2.50.
ne BUDDLEIA officinalis. ‘Winter Lilac.’
An excellent companion to B. asiatica with
rose-pink fragrant flowers, each with
orange eye and produced in terminal,
branched tails. Flowering season same as
that of B. asiatica. Award of Merit,
R.H.S8., London. Each, 25 ets. ; doz., $2.50.
BUDDLEIA variabilis Veitehiana. ‘‘Sum-
mer Lilac.’’ Late summer and early fall
blooming shrub suitable for beds or masses
in the shrubbery. The lilac-colored flow-
ers are borne in cylindrical tails 20 to 30
in. long at the ends of the shoots. Awarded
F. C. C. by the R. H. S., London. Each,
50 cts.; doz., $5.00.
BUDDLEIA variabilis magnifiea. The in-
dividual flowers are larger than those of
Veitchiana, intense violent-purple in color
with reflexed margins and orange eye.
One of the finest acquisitions of recent
years. A fairly rich soil, sunny position
and abundance of water are the essentials
for the successful culture of ‘‘Swmmer
Lilac.” Each, 50 cts.; doz., $5.00.
BUDDLEIA variabilis superba. Perhaps
the finest of all the summer Lilacs. It has
erect arching shoots 5 to 6 ft. tall, and im-
mense tails of rich lilac-colored flowers.
Each, 75 cts.; doz., $7.50.
BUDDLEIA variabilis Wilsonii. The lat-
est of all the Summer Lilacs to flower. It
blooms in September and bears immense
tails, sometimes attaining 30 inches in
length, of bright rosy-lilac flowers with
orange eye. Each, 50 ets.; doz., $5.00.
CLEMATIS montana rubens. This beau-
tiful hardy, new Clematis begins to bloom
early in June when a profusion of soft rosy-
red blooms resembling those of the Japan-
ese 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. Each, 50 ets.; doz., $5.00.
CLEMATIS tangutiea. A fine Chinese
variety of free and rapid growth; bright
green dense foliage. A good climber

trellis plants. “Flowers bright yellow.

COTONEASTER horizontalis. Though by no means a new
plant, this rare and perfectly hardy Cotoneaster deserves to be
most widely planted. Itisdecumbent or semi-prostrate in habit,

The fruits are bright scarlet changing to crimson and the small
leaves, which are dark green and almost round, are retained
late into the fall, and even up to Christmas. It is suitable for
planting in rocky positions, and anywhere and everywhere that
dwarf-growing shrubs are required. Each, 50 cts.; doz., $5.00
COTONEASTER salicifolia. “Willow-leaf Cotoneaster.’ A hand-
