 Mountain Ash- leaved Spiraea, with which it is identical, except 

 that the white flowers are produced in immense pyramidal pani- 

 cles, frequently ten inches wide by fifteen inches high; these, 

 backed with the bright green ferny foliage, appear like large bou- 

 quets of bloom. Flowers during July and August. (See cut. )

Thunbergii. One of the most charming 

 of all low-growing Shrubs, with fine 

 delicate foliage, and a profusion of small 

 white flowers in spring. 25 cts. each. 



Van Houttei. The grandest of all the 

 white Spiraeas; 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. Clusters of 20 

 to 30 white florets make up the raceme, 

 and are set close along the drooping 

 stem's. (See cut.) 25 cts. each; $2.50 

 per doz.

 good size. 35 cts. each.
