HEHRTADRKR-PHILADtLPHIA-PA- CHOICE HArfOYSHRUBS-; 225. Spir;ea Sorbifolia Stellipeda. RHODODBIVDROIVS. This grand genus, with their huge clusters of flowers in beautiful colorings, stand unequalled among hardy flowering Shrubs, and during the latter part of May or early June no flower is more gorgeous, while the bright evergreen foliage is attractive at all seasons. They re- quire only a good garden soil, which should be dug at least 2 feet deep and well mixed with leaf mould or peat, and a somewhat sheltered situation, the north angle of a building, which the majority of other plants dislike, being one of their favorite locations. They de- light in an ample supply of water during their growing season, but must have perfect drainage. During the summer a mulch of any loose, light material is beneficial, and a protection of leaves or brush through the winter. To allow the next season's flower buds to develop, the old flower heads should be carefully removed after they are faded. We offer but a limited list of hybrid varieties, which, however, is selected from the hardiest of the Catawbiense type. Abraham Lincoln. Lively red. Album Elegans. A fine white. Caractacus. Purplish-crimson. Catawbiensis Alba. Pretty blush. â Qrandiflora. Soft violet-mauve. Charles Dickens. Deep crimson. Delicatissima, Blush-white. Everestianum. Light rosy-lilac. General Grant.
