Select Varieties of Hardy Flowering Shrubs 
SPIRAEA VAN HOUTTEI, the most attractive hardy flowering shrub 
Spiraea Billardi— Blooms nearly all summer; rose col- 
ored; fine; showy. 
Spiraea Callosa — -Desirable because it blooms nearly 
all summer. The flowers are rose-colored, borne 
in panicles. A very free grower. 
WE1GELAS 
Shrubs of erect habit while young, but gradually 
spreading and drooping as they acquire age. They 
produce in June and July superb large, trumpet-shaped 
flowers of all shades and colors, from pure white to 
red. In borders and groups of trees they are very 
effective, and for margins the variegated-leaved va- 
rieties are admirably suited, their gay -colored foliage 
contrasting finely with the green of other shrubs. 
Weigela Rosea (Rose-colored Weigela) — An elegant 
shrub, with fine rose-colored ; flowers ; of erect, 
compact growth ; blossoms in June. 
Weigela Candida (White-flowered Weigela) — Of vigor- 
ous habit, an erect grower, becoming in time a 
large-sized shrub ; flowers pure white and produced 
in great confusion in June, and the plants continue 
to bloom through the summer, even until autumn.

SPIRAEAS 
A class of low, compact, easily 
grown flowering shrubs, vigorous 
and hardy as a class, with blossom 
periods extending over a wide range 
of seasons. We offer the following 
varieties : 
Spiraea Van Houttei (S. Van Hout- 
tei) — The most showy of all the 
Spiraeas, and one of the very 
best flowering shrubs in cultiva- 
tion. The plant is a rather tall 
upright grower, with long slen- 
der branches that droop grace- 
fully with their weight of fol- 
iage and flowers. Flowers pure 
white, in great clusters and 
whorls, forming cylindrical 
plumes two or three feet long. 
This is one of the hardiest of all 
the Spireas. 
Double Flowering Althea (Rose of 
Sharon) — One of the most showy 
flowering shrubs ; strong, erect growing, with large 
bell-shaped, double flowers of striking color, borne 
abundantly in August and September when most 
other shrubs are out of bloom. I offer them in 
the three colors all being double blossoms. 
Double Red — (Rubraa flore pleno. ) 
Double Purple— (Purpurea flore pleno.) 
Double White — (Alba flore pleno. )
