SPIRAEA—Continued Each Ten Hundred 
van houttei. 6'-8' Van Houtte Spirea 
Generally "overdone" but nevertheless very beautiful in 
June, when the arching branches are transformed into 
snowy garlands which defy description. Fortunately no 
special soil or location is needed but space it must have 
and 
please 
don't prune 
formally or "bob" 
its 
growth.

STAPHYLEA colchica. 10'-12' Colchis Bladdemut 
Interesting because of its pale green inflated seed pods but 
not showy. In June the upright clusters of yellowish 
white flowers can be traced by their delicate fragrance.

STEPHANANDRA flexuosa. 5'-6' Cutleaf Stephanandra 
Graceful arching branches well clothed with finely cut 
bright green leaves changing to reddish purple in 
autumn. Never grows "out of hand," a useful filler.

STEWARTIA pentagyna. 12'-15' Mountain Stewartia 
Throughout June surprisingly handsome white bowl-shaped 
flowers three inches across, continue to open on the young 
branches. The centre of each flower is accentuated by a 
mass of golden yellow anthers. The cinnamon brown 
bark and interesting branching habit commend it for 
winter effect too. Little known and rarely used this hand¬ 
some fellow will warm the heart of any plant lover.

pseudo-camellia. 25'-30' Japanese Stewartia 
Why has this lovely thing been overlooked or neglected? 
The erect growing branches of young plants quickly indi¬ 
cate a more erect tree, but this is just as desirable as 
its Mountain relative. Cup shaped white flowers are 
slightly smaller but the foliage is just as handsome, and 
when older the reddish bark peels off in large flakes.

STRANVAESIA davidiana. 12'-15' David Stranvaesia 
EVERGREEN. Handsome indeed where the loose bunches of 
orange scarlet berries shine out against the rich deep green 
broad leaves. Given a sheltered spot it will well repay one.
