Astilbe (Spiraea* Of Goat’s Beard) 
The Astilbes make handsome plants, and are 
naturally suited for a moist, half-shady situation, 
although they may be successfully grown in any 
rich garden oorder. Some of the varieties, like 
Davidii and Grandis, grow very tall, with striking, 
handsome foliage, while the new Arendsii hybrids are 
strikingly beautiful planted in mass. All are suitable 
as semi-aquatics, planted in low places and on the 
edges of ponds, etc. The Japanese varieties have 
long been among the most popular plants for 
Easter, as they are very easily forced inside, and 
may be grown just as successfully out-of-doors, as 
they are perfectly hardy. 
Among these are many new improved varieties: 
AVALANCHE. A new variety producing an 
abundance of pure white flowers on long spikes.
