Spirea, Anthony Waterer 
VAN HOUTTEI (Bridal Wreath). This is the spirea that 
everybody plants. It is to be found in more yards than 
any other shrub. If kept properly trimmed it is never 
out of place and one never tires of seeing it and having 
it about the house. Travel from northern Maine to 
southern California, no matter where you may be, and 
you find it. We grow it in great quantities and recom¬ 
mend it very highly. It is fine to use as individual shrubs 
about the house or in the borders or to plant in great 
masses, being careful to plant the shrubs far enough apart 
so they have plenty of spread. Also very much used for 
both trimmed and untrimmed hedges.

SNOWBALL. The old-fashioned Snowball that years ago 
used to be found in every garden. Just as good now as it 
ever was. 18 to 24 in., 25c; 2 to 3 ft., 50c 
SNOWBERRY, Chenaulfi. Here is a comparatively new 
shrub that has been very much overlooked. It is one of 
the most beautiful shrubs that we have for planting any¬ 
where in the entire country. We plant many shrubs which 
are not very attractive just because they are commonly 
planted about us. This is a beautiful shrub growing up 
to 3 feet, covered with beautiful lacy foliage and pinkish 
red berries in fall and late summer. Should be exten¬ 
sively used. 2 to 3 ft., 50c; 6 for #2.50 
TAMARIX hispido. One of the most graceful and beautiful 
of all the shrubs. Grows 8 feet high. A dense mass of 
lace-like foliage. Flowers in extra large, upright panicles, 
bright coral-pink, through the entire midsummer. The 
branches are much used with other flowers in bouquet 
work. Tamarix tops as a rule are killed back by the 
winter. They should be cut back to the green wood in 
the spring when they come right back and are soon in 
bloom. 3 to 4 ft., 60c; 4 for #2.00

RED LEAF PLUM 
IMPROVED PRUNUS NEWPORT. (See color illustration on page 22.) The Minnesota Fruit Farm sent out the 
Newport which was a fairly good red-leaved tree. They later on discovered among their red seedlings a tree 
which resembled the Newport but which had much redder leaves and was far superior to the Newport in every 
way. This is the IMPROVED NEWPORT. The foliage is an intense rich red all through the season. A row 
of Improved Newport in the nursery all through the season is a brilliant sight. The most brilliant of all 
red-leaved trees and perfectly hardy 100 miles north of Faribault. This is the red-leaved Plum. 
Strong 2 to 3 ft. trees, 75c; 3 to 4 ft., #1.00 
ROSE TREE OF CHINA (Flowering Plum) 
PRUNUS TRILOBA (Double Flowering Plum). This is the shrub often sold under the name of “Rose Tree of 
China.’’ The most beautiful of all the flowering shrubs that is hardy enough for the middle northwest. Grows 
into a bush or tree from 8 to 10 feet high. In the early spring the branches are loaded with small, very double, 
roselike flowers an inch in diameter; intense pink on the outside, fading to the most delicate shell-pink in the 
center. The flowers come before the leaves appear and during the blooming season almost every yard here in 
Faribault has one or more of these beautiful little trees in it in full bloom. The entire city yards take on a 
pink htjp and it is truly a festival of beauty. 18 to 24 in., 40c; 2 to 3 ft., 50c; 3 to 4 ft., 75c 
RED-BERRIED ELDER. A native shrub of the timbered portions of Minnesota and Wisconsin. Beautiful shrub to

long, graceful clusters of Sweet .Pcajshaped rose-colored 
flowers in June and on into... July. ^ Gives a wonderful 
effect. This past summer we saw Rose Acacia in both

sota. In all places the plants had come through the 
terrible winter unscathed and were just covered with 
beautiful bloom. 2 to 3 ft. shrubs, 60c; 3 to 4 ft., #1.00

KOREAN BRIDAL WREATH (Spirea Trichocarpa). A 
handsome new spirea which comes to us, among many 
new things, from that strange country Korea—the mother 
of so many good new plants. It has larger flowers than 
the common Bridal Wreath, Spirea Van Houttei. The 
individual florets each have a distinct eye which gives the 
bloom much more effect. Absolutely hardy here in Min¬ 
nesota. Starts to bloom heavily on two-year-old plants. 
The plant grows very fast and soon develops into a beau¬ 
tiful specimen. We are sure that this is the best new 
spirea that has come to us in many years. Snow-white 
blossoms with a yellowish white eye. 2 to 3 ft., 60c 
DWARF GOLDEN NINEBARK. This is a new discovery 
in spireas that is rapidly taking on great popularity. It 
is the golden spirea in dwarf form. The shrub grows to 
an even height of about 2 feet. The branches are heavily 
covered with a light green dense foliage. The bush 
rounds out into a perfect form and fits in very nicely in 
front of taller shrubs. It binds larger shrubs to the 
ground. It trims into a beautiful hedge and is one of our 
most useful new shrubs.
