 tive appearance. Fine 2-3 ft. $1.00 Each;

 and rose colored. 2-3 ft. 75c Each; $7.00 for

VAN HOUTTE SPIREA (S. Van Houttei)— 



This is the most popular of all the spireas, 

 and is more largely planted than any other 

 one shrub. Its gracefully arching branches 

 heaped as they are with the white blossoms 

 in spring, and its thriftiness under the most 

 trying of conditions, are the reasons for its 

 popularity. It is adapted to many purposes 

 in out-door decoration and wherever it is 

 put it thrives, always giving beauty and 

 cheer in return. 2-3 ft. $1.00 Each; $9.00 for 

 10. 3-4 ft. specimens, heavy, $1.25 Each.
