Robinia - Locust 
Robinia hispida. Rose Acacia; Moss Locust.

most attractive.

Spiraea - Spirea 
Spiraea, Anthony Waterer. (F.) 2 feet. A 
compact, low-growing shrub with dense foli¬ 
age, usually deep green with occasional 
variegated leaves of pink and white on 
young growth. The bright pink flowers are 
borne in full, flat clusters on erect stems in 
June and July. If these are cut away when 
they fade, the shrub will bloom during the 
summer. Valuable for edging in front of 
shrubbery and sometimes used as a dwarf 
hedge. Each Five

S. prunifolia. Plum-leaved Spirea. (F.) 5 to 
6 feet. An old-fashioned variety with white 
flowers borne close to the slender, erect 
branches in April and May before the foliage 
appears. The individual flowers resemble 
miniature Roses and are borne profusely. 
Foliage is shiny dark green, and in fall turns 
bright red. Each Five

Spiraea reevesiana. Reeves Spirea. (F.) 4 to 5 
feet. One of the best of the Spireas. The 
white flowers are borne along the stem in 
May, just as the foliage appears. The foliage 
remains exceptionally late in the fall. In 
habit it is graceful and is useful in founda¬ 
tion planting. Each Five 
3 to 4 ft.$0.60 $2.75 
2 to 3 ft.50 2.25 
S. thunbergi. Snow Garland. (F.) 2Yz to 3 
feet. This extra-early flowering species is 
the pride of the Southland, and we highly 
recommend it. It is spreading in growth, 
with arching, slender branches that are a 
perfect mass of minute white flowers in 
April, followed by exceptionally delicate 
green foliage. For edging purposes it has 
few equals. Each Five

S. trichocarpa. Korean Spirea. 4 to 6 feet. 
Another important Asiatic introduction gain¬ 
ing daily in popularity. In character of 
growth, foliage, and blossom it resembles 
S. van Houttei, but the white flowers are 
larger and broader, and are produced three 
to four weeks (in June) after the so-called 
"Bridal Wreath."

S. von Houttei. Bridal Bower; Bridal Wreath. 
(F.) 4 to 6 feet. The most generally useful 
of the hardy shrubs. It has grown so popu¬ 
lar that we iell more of it than any other 
variety we grow. The white flowers are in 
flat clusters, usually an inch or more across, 
produced in May on spreading, pendulent 
branches, often drooping to the ground. The 
foliage is an attractive green which is held 
until frost. This variety can be used for 
hedging, grouping, and mass effect. We 
have nothing better. When in doubt, plant 
S. van Houttei. We get many calls for these 
in quantity lots. Each plant is a specimen.
