SPIRAEA PRUNIFOLIA. 



8YPH0RICARPUS — VULGARIS. 



SYMPHORICARPUS. 



Exceedingly interesting 

 and very ornamental dwarf 

 shrubs, of the easiest cul- 

 ture; admirably adapted for 

 grouping on the lawn or in 

 masses of shrubbery in almost any 

 situation, even succeeding very well 

 in the shade of overhanging trees, 

 where few shrubs will grow at all. 

 They are especially valuable for 

 their ornamental berries, which 

 show to advantage in the fall and 

 winter months. 



RaccmoauH (Snowberry) — A very pretty and in- 

 teresting shrub; pinkish white flowers followed 

 by white berries. 

 S. Vulgaris — This variety bears red berries; an 

 excellent shrub. Each 25c; per doz. $2.50. 



TAMARIX AFRICANA. 



A most attractive plant with long, gracefully 

 bending, slender-growing but strong branches 

 and delicate, feathery foliage. It bears a profu- 

 sion of small pink blossoms in May and June. 



Each 30c; per doz. $3.00. 



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 varietie's we name are the best for gen- 

 eral 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 

 upright; 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. Opulifolia Aurea — Golden foliage, flowers white; very orna- 

 mental. 



S. Prunifolia — White; very desirable; early. 



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

 tractive; flowers white, borne on long, upright spikes. 



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

 flowers white; blooms very profusely; early. 



S. Van Houttei — This is beyond doubt the handsomest of all 

 Spiraeas; in fact, it has few if any equals among ornamental 

 shrubs. "When in full bloom in May and June it presents an 

 appearance difficult to describe, except that from a little dis- 

 tance it seems to be wreathed with snow, the branches droop- 

 ing gracefully under the fleecy covering. 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 

 specimen or arranged in groups. It is a sure grower and 

 perfectly hardy. 



Each 25c; per <loz. $2.50.
