Spirea Van Houtti vvVeath.” 
Grows up to a height of 6 ft. No other 
shrub is so popular as the Spirea Van 
Houtti, and justly so. It is a most depend¬ 
able shrub in its hardiness, drought re¬ 
sistance, and splendid blooming. It has 
no insect enemies, always keeps a healthy 
dark green foliage which alone would 
make it a valuable shrub for hedging and 
foundation planting. May and June is 
the blooming time for this Spirea. Like 
huge snowdrifts, the branches of the en¬ 
tire shrub, arching as if under the weight 
of the blossoms with which they are 
completely covered—Spirea Van Houtti at 
blooming time. Of easiest culture, can he 
sheared to hedges; this should be done 
right after blooming.

Pink Fragrant Snowball

bush, not quite as tall as the Common 
Snowballs; however, it branches out 
nicely. Foliage is gray-green in color. 
When the buds first appear they are a 
showy rosy pink color, standing in small 
clusters. As they open they reveal a 
color of cream with a pink shading, turn¬ 
ing to a creamy white towards the end 
of the blooming season. It is pleasantly 
scented, resembling the fragrance of the 
Gardenia. Should have a partly shaded 
place, and plenty of-water in dry weather.
