SPIRAEA—Continued 
Spirea Korean (Spiraea trichocarpa) 
6 ft. A recently introduced plant from 
Korea. It makes a spreading shrub of 
dome-shaped habit, 4 to 6 ft. high and 
as much across, each arching shoot be¬ 
coming a solid plume of flower clusters 
in early Spring, and the entire bush 
becoming a fountain of white. Hardy 
anywhere. 
Spiraea prunifolia (Bridalwreath). A 
tall shrub with dark green foliage turning 
orange in the Fall. Covered in Springtime 
with small, double white flowers borne 
close to the branches forming long garlands 
of snow white. One of the best white flow¬ 
ering shrubs. Grows 4 to 6 ft. 
Spiraea thunbergi. A very choice low grow¬ 
ing shrub, graceful, one of the first to flow¬ 
er in the Spring. Slender and drooping 
branches, delicate leafage, clear white 
flowers in profusion. A Japanese variety, 
excellent for mass planting about the 
foundation or in beds where a low grower 
is needed. 
Spiraea vanhouttei (Bridal Bower). 4—6 
ft. White. May. This is the most useful of 
hardy shrubs. It has grown so popular 
that we sell more of it than any other 
variety we grow. The flowers are in 
flat clusters, usually an inch or more 
across, produced on spreading, pen- 
dulant branches often drooping to the 
ground. In full bloom they are a mass of 
white and never fail to attract attention. 
The foliage is an attractive green which it 
retains late in the year. This variety can 
be used in any location for hedging, grouping 
and mass effect. When in doubt what to 
use, plant Spiraea vanhouttei. Illustrated 
in color on page 24. 
SWEETSHRUB 
(Calycanthus floridus) 
4-5 feet. Chocolate brown. This is an old- 
fashioned shrub well known to everyone. It 
blossoms intermittently all Summer and its 
flowers are usually very sweet scented. See 
color illustration on page 24. 
TAMARIX 
The Tamarix is really indispensable—it can 
be used in groupings, mass plantings or as 
single shrubs about the lawn. *■ 
African Tamarix (Tamarix africana). Tall 
slender shrub growing 8 to 10 ft. high, with 
excellent featherlike foliage. Delicate pink 
flowers borne in April. Constant motion 
apparent among the branches. 
Amur Tamarix (Tamarix amurensis). A 
tall growing shrub attaining 10 to 12 ft. 
with feathery blue green foliage and a pro¬ 
fusion of long pink flowers throughout 
June and July. 
VIBURNUM 
Carlesi. A valuable recent introduction from 
Korea, producing its delicate, spice-scented 
flowers in May and June. The buds before 
expanding are an attractive pink, develop¬ 
ing into Bouvardialike umbels of pure 
white. Flowers preserve their perfect 
form and purity of color an unusually long 
time and are exquisitely scented. The bush 
is rounded, slow growing to 4 ft. with 
broadly oval leaves, dull green above, 
glaucous beneath and hairy on both sides. 
Autumn painting them luxuriantly. 
VITEX (Chaste-Tree) 
Vitex agnus-castus. A valuable shrub or 
medium growing tree, flowering in blue 
colored spikes early in May, and long 
lasting. 
WEIGELA 
Eva Rathke Weigela. The finest of the cul¬ 
tivated Weigelas. Free blooming hybrid, 
with flowers of a distinctive reddish pur¬ 
ple. Unlike other flowering shrubs. See 
color illustration on page 24. 
Henderson Weigela (Weigela hybrida 
hendersoni). A very strong growing 
shrub bearing flowers of dark pink profuse¬ 
ly in June. 
Pink Weigela (Weigela rosea). An ele¬ 
gant shrub, with fine, rose colored flowers; 
introduced from China by Mr. Fortune 
and considered one of the finest plants he 
has discovered. Has numerous spreading 
branches, leaves dark green, smooth except 
on the midrib and veins. The flowers are 
large, showy and produced in great pani¬ 
cles. Erect, compact growth. Blossoms in 
June. See color illustration on page 24. 
WHITE FRINGE 
(Chionanthus virginica) 
A very showy shrub, growing to large size; 
with large, leathery, shiny leaves and lacelike 
white flowers borne in gracefully drooping 
panicles. Although treelike in character, 
the branches and heavy foliage are usually 
well furnished close to the ground, making 
a broad and rounded bush of noble propor¬ 
tions. See page 22. 
WINTERBERRY 
(Ilex verticillata) 
Most popular of the deciduous Hollies. 
A slender shrub which is smothered with 
bright red berries throughout the Fall and 
Winter. There is not a more beautiful berried 
shrub in the garden and the berried branches 
are quite useful for decoration purposes. 
Hardy from Maine to Florida. 10 feet.
