CURRIE BROTHERS CO. FARM AND GARDEN ANNUAL 



SPIRAEA— Meadow Sweet. 



One of the prettiest shrubs in cultivation, and exceedingly 

 desirable; in fact, we may say indispensable for the lawn or 

 shrubbery border. It is of the easiest culture, succeeding well 

 in any situation. The varieties we name are the best for general 

 purposes. All are thrifty growers and most profuse bloomers, 

 each in its turn furnishing a succession of flowers all through 

 the summer. 

 S. Anthony Waterer — A beautiful dwarf variety. Grows bushy 



and compact, and blooms very profusely; flowers pink. 

 S. Arguta — One of the very best of the Spiraeas. Resembles the 

 well-known variety Thunbergii, but is stronger and more up- 

 right; flowers white, borne in great profusion early in summer. 

 S. Billardii — Bears spikes of pink flowers; very desirable. 

 S. Collosa — A beautiful variety, with deep rose flowers; habit of 



plant very graceful. 

 S. Collosa Alba — A dwarf and compact shrub bearing a great 



abundance of white flowers; very desirable. 

 S. Opulifolia — A robust grower; flowers 'white. 



S. Opnlifolia Aurea — (golden foliage, flowers ■white; very orna- 

 mental 

 S. Prunifolia — White; very desirable; early. 



S. Sorbifolia (Ash-Leaf Spiraea) — An excellent shrub; very 

 attractive: flowers white, borne in long upright spikes. 



SPIRAEA VAN HOTJTTKI. 



S. Thunbergii — Leaves narrow, stems light and graceful ; 

 flowers white; blooms very profusely; early. 



SPIRAEA VAN HOTJTTEI. 



This is beyond doubt the 

 handsomest of all the 

 Spiraeas; in fact, it has few 

 if any equals among orna- 

 mental shrubs. When in 

 full bloom in May and June 

 it presents an appearance 

 difficult to describe, except 

 that from a little distance 

 it seems to be wreathed 

 ■with snow, the branches 

 gracefully under the fleecy 

 Even when not in bloom the 

 plant from its habit of growth and 

 pretty foliage has a very pleasing and 

 artistic effect, either as a single speci- 

 men or arranged in groups. It is a sure 

 grower and perfectly hardy. Each 25c; 

 per doz $2.50 



SYMPHORICARPUS.

 covering. 



SPIKEA PBUNIFOLIA 



SYPHOBICARPUS— TULOARIS. 



Exceedingly interesting and very or- 

 namental dwarf shrubs, of the easiest 

 culture; admirably adapted for group- 

 ing on the lawn or in masses of shrub- 

 bery in almost any situation, even succeeding very well in the shade of over- 

 hanging trees, where few shrubs will grow at all. They are especially valu- 

 able for their ornamental berries, which show to advantage in the fall and 

 winter months. 

 S. Racemosus (Snowberry) — A very pretty and interesting shrub; pinkish white 



flowers, followed by white berries. 

 S. Vulgaris — This variety bears red berries; an excellent shrub. 



Each 25c; per doz„ $2.50 



SYRINGA— Lilac. 



These old favorites are so well known that any description would seem 

 superfluous. Suffice to say they are indispensable. 



S. Persica (Persian Lilac) — A 

 very popular plant; flowers 

 purple. 



S. Vulgaris (Common Lilac) — 

 Larger foliage than the for- 

 mer; flowers purple. 



S. Alba — Flowers pure white. 

 Each 25c; per doz $2.50 



TAMARIX AFRICANA. 



A most attractive plant with 

 long gracefully bending, slen- 

 der - growing, but strong 

 branches and delicate, feath- 

 ery foliage. It bears a pro- 

 fusion of small pink blossoms 

 in May and June..
