THE DING-EE & CONARD COMPANY'S
New Double White Japan Snowball.
This grand New Double White Japan Snowball is undoubt-
edly one of the most superb hardy flowering Shrubs ever in-
troduced; it blooms in June when the whole bush is com-
pletely covered and loaded down with great compact balls of
pure white double flowers like Miniature Roses. These mag-
nificent balls of flowers are borne in such great profusion, that
they almost completely hide the leaves and branches, and the
whole bush appears one dense mass of bloom; the tree is of
erect bushy growth with deep glossy green leaves, having a
peculiar crimped and crinkled appearance ; grows 6 to 8 feet
high, and is entirely hardy, needing no protection of any kind.
We have grown it for along time, buthave only lately succeeded
in raising a large stock ; this year we hope to have enough for
all, and our artist has made a fine illustration, which, though
not nearly as handsome as the plant itself, gives some idea of
its wonderful beauty. We can cordially recommend it as one
of the very best Hardy Ornamental Flowering Shrubs for
doorvard, lawn, and park planting; it is also very suitable for
cemeteries, as it is vigorous and hardy, and sure to bloom,
and being quite scarce and rare, it always attracts a great deal
of attention wherever seen. It is one of the things you don't
want to miss getting, and ours is the true genuine variety,
propagated from large old blooming plants here on our own
