This magnificent, perfectly hardy American shrub

shrubs, while its long flowering season, from early 
June until late August, makes it a valuable acqui¬ 
sition in any garden. Strong plants, 50 cents each; 
$5.00 per dozen; specimen plants, $1.00 each.

Without doubt the best known and most popular 
autumn flowering shrub in cultivation at the present 
time. The flowers, which are borne in dense, pyra¬ 
midal panicales a foot long in the greatest profusion, 
are white when they first open, but gradually change 
to rose color, and remain in good condition for weeks.
