The Grand New Spirea, H. Witte 



Undoubtedly one of the finest ami most beautiful Spireas for forc- 

 ing. One who makes a specialty of gmwiug Spireas for the New York

 cutting them away a new cro|) would follow; in fact, it might be calleH 

 a contiiHKius bK.cimer. In habit and style of flowering it is more to be
