There is no other shrub which enjoys so much popular favor as the Bridal Wreath, 
its height of 5 to 6 ft. that can be kept by shearing fits in just perfectly on most 
places. For hedges, foundation planting, background to smaller shrubs or flowers 
as well as for single specimens few other shrubs fit in so well as this Spirea. May 
and June is the flowering time of the Spirea Van Houtti. Like huge snowdrifts, the 
branches of the shrub arching as if under the weight of the blossoms with which they 
are completely covered, this is the Bridal Wreath at blooming time. Perfect hardi¬ 
ness, healthy growth, easiest of culture make up the rest of desirable qualities all 
found in this shrub.
