NEW FLORAL GUIDE, AUTUMN, 1916 



HARDY ORNAMENTAL SHRUBS, continued 



The Choicest Spireas (beiow) 



Spiraea Van Houttei. Grows about 5 to 6 feet high, or 

 even more than this in favorable locations, and blooms 

 in May and June. It is one of the most beautiful of all; 

 immense bloomer, pure snow-white flowers borne in ele- 

 gant, plume-shaped clusters all over the plant, as shown 

 in the illustration. 



Red Spiraea, Anthony Waterer, Perpetual blooming. A 

 fine, hardy, shrub, particularly desirable for the door- 

 yard and lawn; makes nice, shapely bushes 2 to 3 feet 

 high; begins to bear its large flat clusters of rich rosy red 

 flowers almost as soon as planted, and continues bloom- 

 ing at short intervals all through the summer and fall. 



Spiraea prunifolia (Bridal Wreath). Flowers white and 

 double like little roses, borne in great profusion the 

 whole length of the branches; blooms early in spring, 

 and is always greatly admired. 



Spiraea Re eve siana. Blooms late in May. Beautiful clusters 

 of white flowers which completely cover the branches and 



cause them to 

 bend gracefully.
