W. Manning, Proprietor. E. hortensis. [European Oleaster.] 15 ft. May. A large shrub or small tree, with very silvery foliage. Valuable for sea-shore planting. 35 cents. E. hortensis var. augustifolia. [Narrow-leaved Oleaster.] A narrow-foliaged form. 35 cents. E. longipes. [Japanese Oleaster.] 8 ft. July. A very valuable new shrub of dense growth, with very ornamental, reddish brown bark in winter; oval foliage, light green above and silver beneath. The flowers appear in late June, and are bright yellow, on long stalks; but the greatest value, perhaps, of the shrub is in the fruit, which is borne in the greatest profusion along the branches, is of oval shape, and about one-half inch long. The color is deep orange red, but entirely studded with small scales of gold, giving an ornamental appearance, such as is not to be found in any fruit outside of this family, to our knowledge. Not only is the fruit ornamental, but it is also very palatable, and bids fair to be of a market value. A rare species, of which we can offer the true sort from the plant grown at the Arnold Arboretum. 75 cents. E. parviflora. [Small-flowered Oleaster.] 3 ft. July. A very distinct Himalayan species, with small, oval foliage. 35 cents. EUONYMUS - Spindle Tree. A valuable class, both on account of the varied habits of growth of the various species, their ornamental foliage, and especially for their highly ornamental fruit. All of easy culture in any soil. E. Americanus. [Strawberry Bush.] 4 ft. June. A low-growing shrub of dense habit, with light green foliage and greenish purple flowers,- followed by showy, deep crimson
