. pure white flowers, 12 to 18 inches...

The last three named Spireas are among the very choic¬ 
est shrubs known to florists, so that we have grown a 
heavy stock of exceedingly thrifty plants and can now of¬ 
fer them at low rates. 
SNOWBERRY—White Fritted, 2 to 3 feet and 3 to 4 feet 
Red Fruited, 2 to 3 feet and 3 to 4 feet. 
Two native plants of the greatest importance for group¬ 
ing on account of the wealth of berries produced. Our 
large blocks of these enable us to fill extensive orders 
with fine bushy stock at low rates. 
SAMBUCUS—Canadensis, 4 to 5 feet, fine.. 
The demand for this common wayside shrub has been 
so encouraging of late years, that we have grown a large 
healthy stock of it, and can assure purchasers it is much 
superior to ordinary collected plants.

STANDARD SHRUBS. 
The practice of training shrubs in tree form is comparatively new, 
and has proven unsurpassed for the pleasing effect produced in formal’ 
gardening work. As centres for beds, groups, etc., or for straight' 
lines bordering walks, they are especially appropriate. A collection 
of assorted colors of the Althea will prove much more reliable and 
satisfactory than 'free Roses, while being equally as attractive when 
in bloom. The following heights annexed to each are intended for. 
the stem only, measuring from the ground to the lowermost branch in 
the head. 
ALTHAEA -l'inest double varieties as follows: Amaranthus,! 
Bicolor, Comte des Flan dr es, Carnea pleno, Duchesse! 
de Brabant, Elkoantissima, Pasoniflora, Ranuncul/E- 
klora, Sanguinka, Violet clair and Buist’s variegated 
2-year heads, 3 to 4-feet stems.
