SPRINGFIELD, N. J. 
SORBARIA 
arborea glabrata. 12'-15' 
Each Ten Hundred 
Tree Spirea 
All too rarely is this bold handsome August blooming shrub 
seen. The feathery bunches of flowers are often two feet 
long, gracefully held aloft or extended at ends of arching 
branches. Large compound leaves add to the tropical effect.

SORBUS aucuparia. 25'-30' European Mountain Ash 
Ideal for the small lawn, the Rowan tree is extremely 
popular in Europe, where the great clusters of orange-red 
fruits figure in song and story, but here they serve the 
more practical purpose of food for robins. Good drainage.

Even finer than "arguta" this feathery light green shrub is a 
bank of snow in April when every twig bears its quota of 
white flowerlets. Orange and scarlet autumn coloring.

Really very beautiful and useful as a low "facing" shrub.
