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 
drooping gracefully under the flieecy 
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 speci- 
men or arranged in groups. -It is a sure 
grower and perfectly hardy. Each 25c;
