Roses 
Roses are really shrubs and many of them are suitable for use 
in shrubbery plantings. Ideal and Orleans are excellent dwarf 
shrubs for all-summer bloom; F. J. Grootendorst is good 
where a taller variety may be used. Hugonis makes a fountain 
of yellow in early spring, and Rugosa is excellent both for its 
flowers and seed pods. Pink and Red Radiance are sufficiently 
tall and vigorous to use as all-summer blooming shrubs. For 
descriptions and prices see pages 17 to 21.

Spirea 
Their hardiness, thriftiness, profusion of bloom, graceful 
habit, neat foliage and general freedom from serious insects and 
diseases render them justly popular. The early blooming Spireas, 
after the bush attains good size, should have some of the old 
wood removed to the ground each year immediately after 
blooming. Prune the late blooming Spireas in early spring be¬ 
fore growth starts. When neglected for years it may be neces¬ 
sary to prune almost the entire plant to the ground.
