BULBS. — WHOLESALE. 



SPIREA 



Astilboides Floribunda. 



TT* H I S new variety is a great improvement 

 ' over Spirea Japonica The flowers aie b. me 

 in large, feathery panicles of purest whit;-, and 

 last a long time in bloom. It is dwarfer in habit, 

 earlier and more profuse in bloom. This is undoubti dly 

 one of the most beautiful and graceful subjects grown, 

 its foliage and flowers combined making it one 

 of the finest gems for winter and spring de oration 

 in the hous; and conservatory, while for g ace 

 and elegance as a cut flower it is unequal- 

 led. The few florists who have tried 

 it are enthusiastic in its praise.
