New Spiraea — Aitchisonii 



Spiraea Aitchisonii (S. angustifolia) — Is certainly much more graceful and handsome

 It is a shrub attaining- six feet in height or more, of rather loose and open habit, 

 with graceful light green foliage and the usually red colored stems topped by ample 

 and lax panicles of white flowers. — Alfred Rehder, in Horticulture , July 18, 1906'. 

 $1.00. 



A New Ampelopsis — Lowii 



Superior to Veitchii 



" This will undoubtedly, when better known, supersede A. Veitchii for the reason 

 that its beautifully cut leaves are finer than the old form and the apple green spring 

 shades turn just as readily in autumn to the bright red hues of Ampelopsis Veitchii. 

 The habit of the plant is a finer growth than the old species and it would appear to 

 grow even more quickly. The young growths cling closely and give a very lacy effect. 

 Having reached cne extremity of its climb, this variety has a peculiarity of not clogging 

 the gutter, as is often seen with A. Veitchii, but hangs over in the form of a shower of 

 young growths, which give a splendid eff'ect." $1.00.
