OHVcrDCrrysmaip silvery fruits. Very showy. A 
fine contrast shrub. 10 to 12 ft. 
Snow Garland. Semi-dwarf. The Snow Garland is one of the newer 
varieties that have been developed from a cross between the well 
known Bridal Wreath and Thunberg’s Spirea. The Snow Garland 
is the first of the Spirea family to bloom. In early spring, while 
tulips are still in flower and before the leaves are out, it bursts 
into full bloom with a profusion of white flowers that cover its 
graceful branches like a bank of snow. It is ideal to plant in 
front of Spirea Van Houttei. As its flowers begin to fade it 
seems to pass to the unfolding Bridal Wreath, thus giving six 
weeks of the much desired Spirea bloom. The foliage of this plant 
is very attractive, producing pleasing autumn colors and much of 
the foliage is retained throughout the winter. Per¬ 
fectly hardy. 3 to 4 ft. 
Van Houttei. Often called Bridal Wreath. The long 
branches, curving and reaching to the ground, are 
covered the entire length with lovely white blos¬ 
soms, like a great fountain of snow. It begins to 
blossom about the time the Snow Garland is 
through. Extremely hardy, will thrive anvwhere. 
Can be used in any location. Good for hedges. 5 
to 6 ft.

most beautiful plants in nature. Of
