FAVORITE HARDY SHRUBS for Fail Planting 



Spiraea Bumalda, Anthony Waterer 



The snriall picture of 

 Tamarix Summer 

 Glow shown to the 

 left hardly can convey 

 the beauty of this 

 splendid new shrub. 

 The delicate texture 

 of both blooms and 

 foliage is diflficult to 

 portray in print and 

 the shrub must be 

 seen to be appreciated. 

 Where a free-branch- 

 ing bush is preferred 

 to a taller plant we 

 suggest pruning it 

 back each spring to 

 within 6 inches from 

 the crown.
