Spirea Anthony Waterer. 
Ferris' Selected Shrubs—Continued 
SYRINGA, VIRGINAL. A truly magnificent shrub, and con- 
ceded to be the finest of all Syringas. The pure white flow' 
ers are extra large, five to seven in a cluster, some single, 
some double, some semi'double, and of the finest fragrance. 
A long bloomer—in fact, almost everblooming. 6 to 8 feet 
at maturity.

TAMARISK, GALLICA. A graceful, fairydike shrub, often 
growing 10 to 12 feet high when untrimmed. Foliage is 
very delicate and feathery, light green in color, and when 
topped with the long, loose sprays of tiny pink flowers, it 
makes a most compelling picture—like a pink and silver 
mist. Will do well in either moist or dry soil. 
Each 10 
2-yr., 18-24 in.#0.35 #3.00 
SPIREA SORBIFOLIA (Ash'Leaf Spirea). Hand' 
some, fernlike foliage like the Mountain Ash sets off 
so well the long, feathery panicles of creamy white 
bloom. Does well in shade or sunlight, is very hardy, 
and is an excellent shrub for foundation groups or 
informal planting. 4 to 6 feet at maturity.

hedges, or border planting. Hardy, compact, shapely 
bush, growing 4 to 5 feet high at maturity.

STAGHORN SUMAC. A tall, broad'growing shrub,

ground. Scarlet fruits in the fall. 12 to 15 feet at 
maturity.

invaluable in screens and background planting. 8 to
