IRIS Kaempferi (Japanese Iris). The flowers of these Irises grow to an enormous size, av- eraging 6 to 8 inches in diameter, while the beauty and variety of the coloring surpasses description. They should be planted in rich soil, and will suc- ceed in almost any situa- tion except a shady one. JAPAN QUINCE (Py- rus J a p onica, Cy- donia Japonica, etc.). Produces bright scar- let flowers in great profusion in the early spring; very attrac- tive and hardy; one of the very best hardy shrubs in the cata- logue. White-Flowering (C Japonica a Ida).

A flexible green-branched shrub, producing for several months double globular yellow flowers. LILACS Well known beautiful shrubs, indispensable in every collection. They flower in May.

Very generally known and admired, with its profusion of fragrant bluish purple flowers. Charles X. A strong, rapid grower, with large, shining leaves and reddish purple flowers. Double (S. Lemoinei Jlore plena). A new and choice variety of the Lilac, producing long racemes of double purple flowers, lasting longer than the single sorts. A valuable acquisition. Common White (S. alba).

Persica alba). Similar to the preceding, except that the flowers are nearly white, being slightly shaded with purple. LICUSTRUM (Privet). The Privet in all its varieties deserves attention as an ornamental plant. It is almost an evergreen, and grows freely in all soils; is compact and regular in its form, and bears shearing to any extent. The whole collection which we offer makes an interesting group on the lawn ; flowers appear in June and July. Ovalifolium (California Privet). A vigorous, hardy variety, of fine habit and foliage, nearlv evergreen; grows well in almost every soil; ornamental, and one of the best hedge plants. Variegata. A variety of the vulgare, the foliage of which is streaked with yellow. PTELEA trifoliata (Hop-Tree). This does not advance much beyond the shrub size. It bears clusters of white flowers in June, followed by hop-like seeds in the fall. 12 to 15 feet Aurea. The same as the above, but with golden foliage. 12 to 15 feet.
