they fade, the shrub will bloom during the 
summer. Valuable for edging in front of

habit it is graceful and is useful in founda¬ 
tion planting. Each Five

S. thunbergi. Snow Garland. (F.) 21/2 to 3'/? 
feet. This extra-early flowering species is 
the pride of the Southland, and we highly 
recommend it. It is spreading in growth, 
with arching, slender branches that are a 
perfect mass of minute white flowers in 
April, followed by exceptionally delicate 
green foliage. For edging purposes it has 
few equals. Each Five

S. trichocarpa. Korean Spirea. 4 to 6 feet. 
Another important Asiatic introduction gain¬ 
ing daily in popularity. In character of 
growth, foliage, and blossom it resembles 
S. van Flouttei, but the white flowers are 
larger and broader, and are produced three 
to four weeks (in June) after the so-called 
"Bridal Wreath."

S. van Flouttei. Bridal Bower; Bridal Wreath. 
(F.) 4 to 6 feet. The most generally useful 
of the hardy shrubs. It has grown so popu¬ 
lar that we sell more of it than any other 
variety we grow. The white flowers are in 
flat clusters, usually an inch or more across, 
produced in May on spreading, pendulent 
branches, often drooping to the ground. The 
foliage is an attractive green which is held 
until frost. This variety can be used for 
hedging, grouping, and mass effect. We 
have nothing better. When in doubt, plant 
S. van Houttei. We get many calls for these 
in quantity lots. Each plant is a specimen.
