SPIRAEA. 



ANTHONY WATERER— The finest of the Dwarf 

 Spiraeas, and a grand acquisition. It excels all other 

 Spiraeas in brilliancy of color — a purple-crimson — and 

 is the most profuse and persistent bloomer of them all. 

 bearing continuously large, flat clusters of bloom through- 

 out the whole of summer and autumn.

Syringa vulgaris 



Spiraea Van Houttei. 



PRUNIFOLIA FL. PL. Brid.^l Wreath— An old 

 favorite and as beautiful as it is popular. Of strong 

 growth, and in May and early June there appear along 

 the branches, so thickly as to envelop them, dainty pure 

 white, very double flowers. It remains in flower for a 

 long time and its pretty glossy deep green leaves change 

 to crimson and purple in autumn. 



THUNBERGII — A charming, low growing shrub. It 

 has slender pendulous branches, densely clothed with 

 small dainty leaves which turn to brilliant colors in au- 

 tumn. In spring it presents a cloud of white blossoms. 



VAN HOUTTEI— The finest and best of all the Spir- 

 aeas. Of handsome form with slender and graceful 

 branches which bend to the ground with the weight of 

 bloom. Its pure white flowers are produced in such 

 masses as to entirely cover the bush. It blooms in May 

 and June, and is an attractive and beautiful shrub at all 

 times. (See cut.)

 lowed by great numbers of pure white, wax-like berries, 

 which remain until freezing weather.
