Spireas. Graceful shrub of medium height, with feathery 
foliage. Early in May a profusion of dainty white flowers 
makes this a most charming sight.

acter and habit as Anthony Waterer except that the flowers 
are lighter pink.

This popular Spirea is of dwarf growth. In July bright crim¬ 
son flowers in flat heads appear on uprig 
of its low growth it works in well at the 
house foundation or foreground of the 
shrub border. Prefers a moist soil and 
sunny location. If the faded flower heads 
are clipped, the plant will bloom freely.

and is less compact. The bright crimson 
flowers last the entire season.

Spiraea Thunbergi Thunberg’s Spirea 
Early, free-flowering, graceful shrub with 
feathery foliage on upright branches. Sim¬ 
ilar to Arguta, but not so tall. Its low 
growth, neat foliage, and white flowers 
make it good for house foundation plant¬ 
ings. 
Spiraea Vanhouttei 
SYMPHORICARPOS Chenaulti 
A new improved Coral-berry with smaller, 
tidy foliage. The fruits are not conspicu¬ 
ous; however, it makes a nice low hedge 
and, like all the Symphoricarpos, does 
well in semi-shade. 
S. prunifolia Bridal WAeath 
This beautiful, well-known Spirea has 
been neglected for the more popular Van 
Houttei. Its graceful form and double 
white flowers make it deserving of more 
use. Usually not over 8 feet tall, with 
neat, dark green foliage that turns orange 
in the autumn. 
S. trichocarpa Korean Spirea 
A recently introduced, tall, broad shrub 
similar to Van Houttei. Its white flowers 
are larger and appear a few weeks later. 
Very hardy and well adapted to the shrub 
border because of habit of growth and 
bloom. 
S. racemosus Common Snowberry 
A bushy shrub with ornamental leaves 
and graceful, drooping branches, which 
in the autumn are covered with white, 
waxy berries about the size of marbles. 
Grows well in partial shade. 
Symphoricarpos racemosus 
S. Vanhouttei Van Houtte Spirea 
This beautiful shrub deserves its popu¬ 
larity, for it is one of the finest Spireas 
for massing or specimens.. Its tall, slender 
branches arch gracefully under a load of 
white flowers, the last of May. 
STEPHANANDRA flexuosa 
Cut-Leaf Stephanandra 
The neat, clean foliage is finely and deli¬ 
cately cut. Graceful, fountain-like habit 
of medium height. The small white flow¬ 
ers and interesting foliage make it a 
most refined shrub for the house founda¬ 
tion or facing of the shrub border. 
S. vulgaris Coralberry 
A valuable variety for planting on banks, 
as it has a heavy root system. The flowers 
are greenish white and are followed by 
clusters of dark, purplish red berries. 
Grows well in the shade. 
TAMAR1X amurensis Amur Tamarix 
Graceful, tall-growing shrub with inter¬ 
esting feathery foliage. In June it bears 
showy racemes of pink flowers. Prefers
