EVERBLOOMING SPIRAEAS. 



Spiraea Bumalda and Spiraea Callosa 

 (Fortunii) al ba.- -Nothing in the way of hardy 

 flo w e r 1 n g 



Shrubs we . 

 have ever 

 seen can 

 equ a 1 the 

 ctiarm m g 

 f re s h n e s s 

 and delica- 

 cy of color 

 and struc- 

 ture of these 

 two Japan- 

 ese Spiraeas. 

 They are of 



dwarf habit, forming a dense clump of slender 

 branches and pretty airy foliage, not exceeding two 

 feet Id height at maturity, are of the greatest hardi- 

 hood and both burst into a mass of exquisiiely 

 heavtiful flowers in early June and continue to 

 cover the bush with their clusters of bloom, each 

 plant resemhling a huge bouquet, during the en- 

 tire summer and autumn: until the ground freezes 

 hard at tbe approach of winter. Callosa alba is 

 slightly the si ronger grower and each enhances the 

 beauty of the other by the contrast of their soft, 

 pleasing colors, when planted as companions. Both 

 are of the greatest value for massing or as single 

 specimens, especially in grounds of limited extent. 

 Bumalda is bright rosy red in color: Callosa alba 

 pure white. 15c; one eacb for 25c; 18 in. 25c; 

 one each for 40c; 2 ft. 35c; one each for 60c.

 ing, with long terminal 

 spikes of rose-colored 

 flowers all summer and

Spiraea Callosa 

 (F o r t u nii). — A 



stronger grower than 

 the above, and of an 

 upright habit attaining 

 a height of four to Ave 

 feet. Its clusters of 

 rosy red flowers are 

 produced in broad 

 cymes at the ends of 

 the branches, freely 

 from June until Octo- 

 ber. The foliage of the 

 new growth is rich red- 

 dish-purple or plum 

 color, contrasting beau- 

 tiful with the green of Billardii. 

 the older foliage, rendering it a distinct and hand- 

 some plant at all times. 1 5c; 2 ft. 25c; 3 to 4 ft. 35c; 

 4 to 5 ft. 50c. 



Spiraea opulifolia (Snowball-leavei>
