THE SOURCE OF NOVELTIES IN ORNAMENTALS!
The New TREE LILAC (Syringa Japonica) was first grown commercially, and first sold from Shady Hill Nurseries.
The Beautiful WEEPING LILAC (Syringa Ligustrina Pekinensis Pendula), called by Mr. Samuel B. Parsons, at the American Pomological Convention, at Boston (where it was first exhibited and received a first-class Certificate of Merit from the Mass. Hort. Society), “the most beautiful of all our small Weeping Trees.” This also will be sent out in the autumn of this year.
Here also is grown, in large numbers, the lovely little flowering tree, called the “TEA ROSE CRAB,” the most exquisite of all our flowering trees. Ten thousand of this tree have been ordered by Messrs. V. H. Hallock & Son.
Here originated the Hardy Perennial Gaillardia (G. Aristata Templeana of Peter Henderson’s new catalogue), the most showy and only hardy Gaillardia of this latitude.
A full descriptive catalogue, of all the things grown at Shady Hill, will be issued in February, fully illustrated with engravings and containing four full page lithographs, in eight colors, of the four new trees, viz.: “Tea Rose Crab,” Tree Lilac, Weeping Lilac, and the Fastigiate-Maiden Hair Tree. This will be sent free to all who will send address.
