Van Houttei. The grandest of all the 
Spireas. It is a beautiful ornament for 
the lawn at any season, but when in 
flower it is a complete fountain of white 
bloom, the foliage hardly showing.

florets make up the racemes. Perfectly 
hardy and an early bloomer.

Dwarf, compact habit; wood verj' corky; 
leaves small, fruit red. FoUage turns 
bright red iri fall. One of the very finest 
shrubs for autumn effect.

plants, producing flowers of a great 
variety of colors. Mixed colors. 
Syringa or Mock Orange 
(Philadelphus) 
For grouping with other shrubs, form- 
ing large screens or hedges which may 
not require pruning, or used as single speci- 
men lawn plants, they are desirable. They 
will bear hea\'y pruning and quickly reas- 
sume their free, semi-pendulous, picturesque 
efi'ect.

is the popular tall ^•ariety; very sweet 
and one of the fu-st to flower.

ering the plant. 
Tamarix. (Tamarisk.) Those are very 
beautiful shrubs, with small leaves, some-

grow.

cans.) A robust woody viiu; twining 
with numerous roots along its stems. 
Large trumpet - shaped scarlet flowers 
clustering at the tip of the branches.

i]4 feet high, and with heads of bloom 
over 12 inches long, of a rich orange-

fragrant and beautiful of the summer- 
flowering bulbs. For outdoor planting

danger of frost is over.

brilliant and effective of all the early
