. Hardy stock for pleasure grounds. Nursery stock New Jersey Elizabeth Catalogs; Trees Seedlings Catalogs; Shrubs Catalogs; Plants, Ornamental Catalogs. Pride of Rochester is earlier and larger flower- ing than other sorts; its very double flowers are pink and chubby in the bud, white when expanded. Late in the month, when most other showy shrub-flowers are gone, blooms the Dwarf Horse-Chestnut, spangling its broad, rich mounds of leaves with great spikes of white flowers, flecked by crimson anthers. The Weigelas, also, divide their favors between June and July. Their clusters of large, trumpet-shaped flowers shine out brightly, in all shades from white to red, from among rich leafage. They are especially pretty in borders and groups of trees, the Variegated- Leaved sort being admirable for margins. The most beautiful variety ^ of all is Eva Rathke, a charming new Weigela, with crimson flowers in a clear, distinct shade.
