HENRY A. DREER, PHILADELPHIA—HARDY SHRUBS 33 
Spirza Mecite Multiflora. Produces in Early May 
masses of purest white flowers. The plant is of dwarf, 
graceful habit. 35 cts. each. 
— Prunifolia (Bridal Wreath). A favorite variety and 
one of the best; it is a beautiful Shrub of medium size 
with double white flowers in May. 35 cts. each. 
—Reevesi fl. pl. Of medium growth, with double 
white flowers in clusters in May. Very fine. 35 cts. 
each. 
— Sorbifolia Stellipeda, A splendid improvement on 
the old Mountain Ash-leaved Spiraea, with which it is 
identical, except that the white flowers are produced in 
immense pyramidal panicles, frequently ten inches wide 
by fifteen inches high; these, backed with the bright green 
ferny foliage, appear like large bouquets of bloom. 
Flowers during July and August. Strong plants, 50 
cts. each. 
__Thunbergi. One of the most charming of all low- 
growing Shrubs, with fine, delicate foliage, and a profu- 
sion of small white flowers in spring. 35 cts. each. 
_ Van Houttei. The grandest of all the white Spireeas; it 
is of compact habit and a beautiful ornament for the lawn at 
any season, but when in flower it is a complete fountain of white 
bloom, the foliage hardly showing. (See cut.) 35 cts. each. 
Staphylea Colchica (Bladder Nut). One of the finest tall- 
growing early spring-flowering Shrubs, coming into bloom 
at the same time as Lilacs. Flowers very attractive, white 
and fragrant; disposed in clusters of good size. 50 cts. each. 
Symphoricarpus Racemosus (Snowberry). A well- 
known dwarf Shrub, with small pink flowers and large white 
berries that hang on the plant the greater part of the winter. 
35 cts. each. a 
— Vulgaris (Red-fruited, er Indian Currant). Similar 
to the above, but with bright red fruit. 35 cts, each. 
Tamarix Hispida stivalis. A distinct variety with deli- 
cate, soft pink sprays of flowers in July and August, a time 
when the shrubbery border is comparatively bare of flowers. 
50 cts. each. 
Spir#a Van Hovuttet 
VisuRNUM CARLESII 
Viburnum Carlesi. (New.) An introduction from Korea, 
producing its delicately spice-scented flowers in May and June. 
The buds before expanding are of an attractive pink color and 
develop into Bouvardia-like umbels of white flowers, which 
last in fresh condition for a long time; entirely distinct and 
most desirable. $1.00 each. 
— Opulus (lligh Bush Cranberry). The white flowers in 
June are followed in Autumn by bright scarlet berries, which 
are very attractive until very late in winter. 35 cts. each. 
—Rhytidophyllum. A _ beautiful Chinese introduction, 
with almost evergreen foliage, which is from 8 to 9 inches in 
length by 2 to 24 inches broad, of a dark green, much chan- 
nelled, making it most valuable as an ornamental foliage sub- 
ject; the vigorous growths are terminated by yellowish-white 
flowers, which give place in September to dark red berries. 
$1.00 each. 
Vitex Agnus Castus (Chaste Tree). A 
graceful Shrub, growing from 5 to 6 feet 
high, with dense spikes 6 to 8 inches 
long, of lilac-colored flowers late in 
summer, 36 cts. each. 
— Macrophylla. A variety of the 
Chaste Tree chat came to us from a 
grower in Italy, and with which we have 
been greatly pleased. The general habit 
of the plant is similar to V. Agnus 
Castus, but much stronger in all its parts, 
the foliage being larger and heavier 
while the trusses of lavender-blue flow- 
ers are fully double the size. It blooms 
from July to September, and we believe 
is destined to become as popular as the 
Butterfly Shrub. Strong young pot- 
giown plants, 60 cts. each.
