SPIR.EA. OR AST1LBE. 



SPRING SNOWFLAKE.... 



Iieucojuni Veraum. Produces flowers like 

 monster snowdrops; very graceful in growth, 

 having the delicate fragrance of the Violet. It is 

 one of our earliest spring flowers, with white blos- 

 soms distinctly tipped green, handsome in out- 

 line and prized for bouquets. They should be 

 grown in quantities in the borders or in spots on 

 the edges of shrubbery, where they are beautifully 

 effective, and when established produce enormous 

 quantities of flowers. They can also be slowly 

 forced in pots for winter bloom. (See cat.) 3 for 

 10c, 25c. per doz.. $1.75 per 100. 



SPIRAEA, or ASTILBE. a^M 



summer, and are perfectly hardy, but their great value is when grown in 

 pots for window and greenhouse decoration, in winter and spring, and 

 for forcing for cutting. The flowers are borne in large, featherv panicles 

 of white, and last a long time in bloom. (Heady for shipment in Xovem-

 inches high. Well-grown plants bear 25 to 4i> of these plume-like 

 trusses, practically enveloping the plant with a feathery foam, too 

 beautiful to be adequately described. Price of strong roots. 50c. each.
