Plants for hedging, 8 to 12 inches, $10 per 100; 18 to 24 inches, $15 per 100. Magnolia Frazeri (auriculata). We take great pleasure in offering this scarce and beautiful tree to our patrons. Although known for many years to be one of the most desirable of all Magnolias, by the few fortunate enough to possess a specimen, it has been almost unknown in collections, because of its great scarcity. It has been our good fortune to propagate it to some extent, enabhng us to offer it in this way for the first time. In growth it is of stately form, growing rapidly into a large-sized tree. The foliage is large and handsome. But it is z/s flowers which give it such great claims to distinction. Besides being of large size, they are of a canary yellow Tricoior-ieaved Privet, color and deliciously fragrant, almost, if not quite as much so as the famed Swamp Magnolia, glauca. They expand, too, later than some of the more early kinds, and open one after the other, keeping up a display for some time. It gives us great satisfaction in being able to offer and recommend it to our customers. Price, $2 each. Pterostyrax corymbosum. This is a new tree of much beauty and quite distinct from any other hardy one grown. It forms an open headed small tree. The leaves are round and large ; but best of all are its long racemes of white flowers, in June. Price, 75 cents each. Pinus densiflora. Japanese Pine. This Pine has proved with us one of the fastest growers of all we have. The growth has some resemblance to the Austrian, in being of a heavy character, but the foliage is of a livelier green. Price, $1 each. Pyrus baccata Parkmanni. Customers are generally wary of new things, and it is right they should be, for newness is no recommendation by itself.
