fS. trichocarpa. Korean Spirea. 6 ft. (L.) A wide bush of com¬ 
pact, rounded habit, with outer branches gracefully arching to the 
ground. The flowers are borne abundantly, in showy, dome-shaped 
clusters, transforming the branches into swaying wands of blos¬ 
soms, in June and July. It is a choice contribution to our gardens 
from Korea, extending the flowering season, as it does, nearly 
3 weeks after S. Van Houttei.

fS. Van Houttei. Bridal Wreath. 8 ft. (L.) Van Houttei Spirea is 
the variety commonly called Bridal Wreath, and is much superior 
to the true Bridal Wreath, S. prunifolia, which we no longer list. 
Its gracefully arching branches are covered at Memorial Day with 
large clusters of beautiful white flowers. Even when not in flower, 
its handsome, blue-green foliage makes it very desirable either as 
a specimen in the shrub border or in an informal, unclipped hedge.
