HARDY DECIDUOUS SHRUBS— Continued.
Hibiscus Syriacus c ^oTsimronT
Also known as the Hollyhock shrub, be-
longs to the Mallow family. These are the
most beautiful shrubs we have in our collec-
tion. The flowers are of large size, very
doubie and full of various brilliant and strik-
ing colors. They bloom freely during August
and September, when scarcely any other
shrub is in bloom. We offer nine of the very
choicest varieties as follows:
AXEMOJiEFLORA — Largest of all Althea
bloom; double wine-red.
BOULE DE FEU, or Ball of Fire — Double red.
COELESTE — Single sky-blue; extremely
showy.
JEANNE d'ARC — Double snow-white.
MONSTROSA. — Semi-double white; red center.
PAEO.MFLORIS — Double pink.
RUBUS — Single red; a striking variety.
VIOLET CLARE — Double violet; very popular.

white.
Fine plants, 15e each, the nine lor $1,10. In
two-year plants, 25c each, the nine for $2.00.
New Hydrangea "Hills of Snow"
This is the great new hardy shrub that has
come to gladden our yards and gardens. We
place it first and foremost of all shrubs. It
makes a perfectly round, symmetrical bush
that is covered from June to August with
handsome large pure white flowers. Be sure
and plant this new hardy shrub, it will please
you greatly. Young plants, 15 cents each; strong
two-year-old plants, 40 cents.
Hydrangea Pan icu lata Grandiflora
A great favorite, and there is nothing finer or
more showy, whether for planting in large masses
in parks or for single plants on the smallest lawns.
Blooms profusely from July until frost, in im-
mense white panicles, tinted with pink and then
with brown in the fully matured flower. The plant
should be cut back each spring fully one-half of the
past season's growth, as the flowers are much finer
if the plant is treated in this manner. The flowers
are much finer and larger* if grown in a good, rich
soil, but the plant is so hardy and so easily grown
that success is almost certain in any kind of soil
and in any situation. Young plants, 15 cents. Strong
flowering plants, for immediate effect, two years
old, 40 cents.

blooming extends over a period of three months. One-
