P.  Pissardi.    Purple-Leaved  Plum.  The 
young  shoots  and  leaves  are  lustrous  crimson, 
changing  to  rich  purple  and  retaining  it  until 
erent  sorts  of  shrubs,  both  of  much  beauty,

The  Spireas 
Some  members  of  this  great  group  are  in  bloom  nearly  all  the  season.  All 
forms  have  a  riotous  extravagance  of  bloom  that  makes  them  very  strilcing,  and  they 
are  so  different  in  flower,  leaf  and  growth  that  monotony  from  planting  too  many  kinds 
is  impossible.  They  are  hardy  and  easily  grown  in  all  situations.  A  collection  of 
the  different  forms  will  give  its  owner  much  pleasure.  Used  for  groups,  specimens, 
borders,  screens,  and  ornamental  hedges.
