Spiraea - Meadow Sweet 
Of the entire shrub group none are more adaptable or 
more widely used than the Spireas. They are beautiful in 
foliage as well as in flower. They offer a great diversity 
in size, height‘and type, and whether planted in masses, in 
the border, or as specimens they are unsurpassed. Some 
varieties are spring flowering, others bloom at intervals 
later on and a succession of bloom over a long period may 
be obtained by proper selection of varieties.

3 to 4 feet, with spreading head. Pure white flowers in 
May. The best of the very early-flowering white varieties.

S. Anthony Waterer. Dwarf, bushy, of spreading type and 
fairly covered in July with large corymbs of rosy crim¬
