Menziesi macrothyrsa. 5 ft. The finest 
pink Spirea ever introduced. The enormous

long, are produced on strong, willowy 
stems. From the base a secondary spike or 
lateral appears, continuing the display of 
blooms long after the main flower-head has 
lisappeared. The clearness of color is 
remarkable, and the brilliancy of the flower 
is very pronounced. The blooms last over 
2 weeks when cut and brought inside. An 
excellent cut-flower and a shrub that should 
be in every foundation or border planting.
