first to flower in the Spring. Slender 
and drooping branches, delicate leaf¬ 
age, clear white flowers in profusion. 
Excellent for mass planting about the 
foundation or in beds where a low 
grower is needed. 
Spiraea vanhouttei (Bridal Brower). 
4-6 ft. White. May. This is the most 
useful of hardy shrubs. It has grown 
so popular that we sell more of it than 
any other variety we grow. The 
flowers are in flat clusters, usually an 
inch or more across, produced on 
spreading, pendulant branches often 
drooping to the ground. In full bloom 
they are a mass of white and never 
fail to attract attention. The foliage 
is an attractive green which it retains 
late in the year. This variety can be 
used in any location for hedging, 
grouping and mass effect. When in 
doubt what to use, plant Spiraea 
vanhouttei. Illustrated on page 23.
