 May- flowering class, and offer on page 13 a collection of eighteen of the very best 

 varieties, each one distinct and desirable. 



SPIRAEA OR ASTILBE. 



(Ready in November.') 



As a pot plant for the cool conservatory or window garden 

 this is one of the most satisfactory and easiest to grow; the 

 clumps or roots should be put into pots or pans just large 

 enough to hold them, as soon as received in November, given 

 a thorough watering and set outside in a sheltered position 

 and covered with ashes or litter. For Easter flowering bring 

 them into the house from eight to ten weeks in advance of 

 that date. lor best results keep them cool and give plenty 

 of water. Also verj desirable for the hardy border, blooming 

 outdoors in June, and prefer a partially shaded position.
