 produced in terminal much branched panicles 15 to 18 in. long, 

 during September and continuing to flower until the advent of 

 sharp frosts late in the fall. It is perfectly hardy, free-growing 

 and a most valuable addition to the list of late flowering

 arborea, for garden purposes, it is abundantly distinct from the 

 type. Each, 75 cts.; dozen, S7.50

 ing branches and corymbose masses of pure white flowers pro-

 finest of its family. Strong plants, each, $1.00; dozen, SIO.OO. 



SPIRAEA Henryi var. notabilis. Bush 3 to 6 ft. tall with 

 spreading branches and neat fohage. Flowers white, freely
