name implies, its graceful, arch¬

June with bell-shaped flowers of a 
pleasing shade of pink, makes it a 
very desirable addition to founda¬ 
tion or informal plantings, and worthy of liberal use.

growth; the branches tipped with long spikes of charm¬

soon attains its original height and blooms from June 
to October. 4 to 6 feet at maturity.

are double white but with one 
or more of the outer rows of
