large, double, white flowers; the back of the petals being slightly tinged with rose; it ex-

fine; leaves scarlet in autumn.

November, large, showy panicles of white flowers in the greatest profusion; it is quite 
hardy, and altogether a most admirable shrub for planting singly on the lawn or in the 
margin of masses; to produce largest flowers it should be pruned severely in the spring 
and the ground enriched ^See page 58).
