For Summer 
Bloom 
This Single Blue Althea is 
the Aristocrat of all the 
Altheas. 
BLUE ROSE OF SHARON 
(Althea). 
The color of this large sin¬ 
gle-flowering Althea i s a 
clear and distinct blue. Use 
it for an accent, singly or a group of three; or use it anywhere you want a narrow, upright 
shrub that will never outgrow its location. This summer-blooming shrub has been in such 
demand that we seldom have enough to go around. 
18 to 24 in. Plants, $0.75 each; 2 to 3 ft. Plants, $0.90 each; Postpaid. 
TREE SPIREA (Sorbaria arborea glabrata). 
This rare but easy-to-grow shrub has made more friends for us than any other we have 
listed. It was discovered by the late Dr. E. H. Wilson during his explorations of the China- 
Thibetan borderland. Growth is rapid, and it blooms unfailingly the first year after plant¬ 
ing; tiny, creamy-white flowers borne in immense, compact sprays closely resembling 
the herbaceous Astilbe. 
The gracefully poised, compound foliage makes the Tree Spirea an excellent screen or 
“filler” in the shrub border, and it is unrivaled in beauty of habit as a specimen. Blooms 
steadily from the middle of July to the middle of September, and is adaptable to almost 
any soil, partial shade or sun.
