Korean Spirea—Trichocarpa 
Flowers of Salicifolia 
favoring Van Houtte in character, but 
with interesting differences. The flowers 
are larger than Van Houtte, with a dis¬ 
tinct eye, in dome-shaped clusters. These 
appear a short space following the older 
Bridal Wreath, and thus prolong the 
showiness of this type. Thrifty and hardy.
