RHUS : Sumac 
RHUS COTINUS—Purple Fringe or Smoke Tree. 
A very large shrub, making in time a fair-sized tree 
of most unusual and striking appearance. The great 
masses of misty, purplish flowers that cover the 
entire bush in June, makes it look like a great mass 
of smoke, hence the name, Smoke Tree.

SPIREA 
Shrubs of easy culture that differ so in size, 
character and time of bloom that there are varieties 
suited for almost every purpose. This group in¬ 
cludes some of the most popular old-fashioned 
shrubs. The Summer-flowering varieties are par¬ 
ticularly valuable because they are attractive when 
few other shrubs are in flower. All varieties do best 
in moist, fertile soils and sunny exposures.
