For Summer Bloom 
Tube Neillia 
(Neillia sinensis). 
A very unusual shrub, both for its 
pink '“tube” shaped flowers in June, 
and the deeply toothed leaves of red¬ 
dish-brown. Gives an interesting and 
colorful contrast to the shrub border. 
We predict its greater importance 
when better known. Perfectly hardy 
at Rochester. 
2 to 3 ft. Plants, $1.35 each; 
3 for $3.35 Postpaid. 
Tree Spirea 
(Sorbaria arborea glabrata). 
This rare but easy-to-grow shrub has 
made more friends for us than any 
other we have listed. It was dis¬ 
covered by the late Dr. E. H. Wilson 
during his explorations of the China- 
Thibetan borderland. Growth is 
rapid, and it blooms unfailingly the 
first year after planting; tiny, creamy- 
white flowers borne in immense, com¬ 
pact sprays closely resembling the 
herbaceous Astilbe. 
Neillia—a decorative lusty shrub, flowering like 
the Trailing Arbutus. 
The gracefully poised, compound foliage makes the Tree Spirea an excellent screen or 
“filler” in the shrub border, and it is unrivaled in beauty of habit as a specimen. Blooms 
steadily from the middle of July to the middle of September, and is adaptable to almost 
any soil, partial shade or sun.
