Snowberry 
Rose of Sharon 
Sumac 
Native, hardy shrubs, 
fine foliage. 
• ‘Phe Spirea family is one of the most popular because of the hardi¬ 
ness of the shrub itself, attractiveness of the foliage, and the beauti¬ 
ful flowers that bloom on them. They are easy to grow and there are many 
different varieties. I am listing the following for you: 
ANTHONY WATERER. This is the everbloOming Red Dwarf. A good one for 
dwarf hedge or border. The color is bright crimson. It is a dwarf, dense grower, 
hardly exceeding 30 inches. Hardy everywhere. Bright crimson flowers are borne 
in clusters often 3 inches across. Blooms almost constantly from June until 
frost. 12-18, in., 20c each; 18-24 in., 25c each. 
CALLOSA ALBA (White Japanese Spirea). This is the White Dwarf. Foliage light, 
healthy green. Blooms from June until Fall. Fine for mass or foundation plant¬ 
ing. Be sure to plant a few of these. 12-18 in., 20c each; 18-24 in., 25c each.

high. Blooms July-September and has dense spikes of rich pink flowers. Succeeds 
even in dry localities. Especially fine for using in bouquets. 12-18 in., 20c each; 
18-24 in., 25c each; 2-3 ft., 30c each. 
LARGE FLOWERING BRIDAL WREATH (Van Houtte). I consider this the very- 
best shrub for individual planting or hedge planting. Generally . known as the 
leader of ornamental shrubs for hardiness. Will stand drought; does not winter 
kill. Its graceful branches are covered with a blanket of pure white blooms from 
May up until June. Many use it for hedging purposes.

spots for Fall just as Eilacs 
and Weigelas are for Spring.

different shades of red, white,
