TEXAS NURSERY CO. 
RUSSIAN OLIVE (Elaeagnus angustifolia)—A small tree often 
attaining height of twenty feet or more. Dark grayish-green; 
foliage lanceolate, light green above and silver-white beneath. 
Particularly hardy and attractive when planted with other 
shrubs for foliage effect. 
SALVIA, AUTUMN (Salvia greggi)—A native plant of Texas 
and Mexico. Withstands our hot summers remarkably well. 
Dwarf growing; rather spreading and straggly unless pruned. 
From early spring until late frost it is rarely without blos¬ 
soms. The flowers are small, trumpet-shaped, dark wine-red, 
and very bright. The foliage is similar to garden sage, though 
darker green, and has the odor of sage. 
SILKTREE (Alfcizzia julibrissen) — A rapidly growing large 
shrub or small tree with spreading branches. Foliage fine and 
feathery. The pink flowers are borne in large heads on tips 
of branches, appearing late in spring and continuing for some 
weeks. Will not stand extreme cold. 
SNOWBALL, COMMON (Viburnum opulus sterile)—An old fa¬ 
vorite. Rather tall growing; foliage large and coarse; showy 
flowers in large white globular heads, making a complete 
“snowball”. Does best in cool shaded places. 
SNOWBERRY (Symphoricarpos racemosus)—A dwarf growing 
shrub with graceful drooping branches. In late fall and win¬ 
ter the plant is attractive with its numerous white berries 
borne along the branches. 
SPIREA (Spiraea)—A class of shrubs varying so much in char¬ 
acter of growth and type of bloom that a good collection of 
varieties will insure bloom throughout most of the spring and 
summer. They do best in rich, moist soils and respond to good 
cultivation. 
—Brictalwreath, Double (Spiraea prunifolia plena) — During 
April very small and very double flowers cover the graceful 
drooping branches, making perfect wreaths of white. Foliage 
attractive in group plantings. 
—Spirea, Anthony Waterer (Spiraea bumalda, Anthony Water- 
er)-—Of dwarf, bushy, spreading growth. Flowers in cory- 
combs of bright-rose. Sufficiently dwarf to be used in front 
of foundation plantings or in borders. Does best in partial 
shade. 
—Spirea, Billard (Spiraea billardi)—A medium grower with 
slender spikes of rose-pink, fuzzy flowers. Blooms in early 
summer.

branches with narrow foliage and small double flowers. Sim¬ 
ilar to Spirea Vanhoutte except flowers are double. 
—Spirea, Froebel (Spiraea froebeli)—A dwarf variety of spread¬ 
ing growth. Flowers in corycombs of bright crimson. Suf¬ 
ficiently dwarf to be used in front of foundation plantings or 
in borders. Does best in partial shade. 
—Spirea, Garland (Spiraea arguta)—Blooms early in spring, 
and the numerous flowers crowd the slender branches. Of 
medium growth and airy effect.
