Tfitf*l«rkr>a»*na (Korean Spirea). A handsome new intro- 
■ ricnocarpa duction favoring Van Houtte in character, 
but with interesting differences. The flowers are larger than 
Van Houtte, with a distinct eye. in dome-shaped clusters. 
These appear a short space following the older Bridal 
Wreath, and thus prolong the showiness of this type. Thrifty 
and hardy. [Eachl 10
