SPIRAEA GRANDIFLORA. 



Class. Order. 



1COSANDRIA PENT AG YNIA 



This beautiful hardy shrub is a native of 

 Kamtschatka. We raised it from seeds sent 

 to us by Mr. Busch, in 1826. It bears a 

 resemblance to Spiraea salicifolia, but is a 

 much finer plant, and the flowers are dou- 

 ble the size. 



It flourishes ii*the open ground, in light 

 loamy soil, and flowers in July. May be 

 increased by layers or cuttings.
