the center of shrubbery masses. The foli- 
age is particularly bright and clean, and 
the great profusion of flowers makes it 
one of the most satisfactory shrubs.

about two weeks ahead of Deutzia Le- 
moini. Flowers, white, slightly tinted 
with pink, borne singly and in clusters.

tance, two feet apart. Prune in summer, 
just after they are through blooming. 
Trim the bush as required and cut out all 
Old, weakened canes.
