pact, rounded habit, with outer branches gracefully arching to the 
ground. The flowers are borne abundantly, in showy, dome-shaped

fS. Van Houttei. Bridal Wreath. 8 ft. (L.) Van Houttei Spirea is 
the variety commonly called Bridal Wreath, and is much superior

Its gracefully arching branches are covered at Memorial Day with 
large clusters of beautiful white flowers. Even when not in flower, 
its handsome, blue'green foliage makes it very desirable either as 
a specimen in the shrub border or in an informal, unclipped hedge.
