Spirea Thunbergi; Thunberg’s Spirea 
Its graceful spreading and arching branches are covered with 
many small, pure white flowers in clusters in March, before the 
leaves are developed; leaves very narrow, 1 to 134 in. long, 
light green, in autumn orange and scarlet. The light green, fine 
feathery foliage effect makes Thunbergi suitable for nearby 
plantings where shrubs of coarse texture would be out of place. 
Prune after blooming. Grows 3 to 5 ft. high.

Spirea Van Houttei; Van Houtte’s Bridal Wreath 
A fountain of white in late April and May, its arching 
branches covered with clusters of small flowers; the graceful 
drooping habit and neat dense foliage, % to 1% in. long, make 
it attractive throughout the season; excellent for grouping, as 
a background for lower shrubs, a foreground for taller shrubs, 
a screen, Or as a specimen plant. Each spring, after blooming, 
prune some of the old canes to the ground. Grows 6 to 7 ft. 
high.

Sumac, Fragrant; Rhus canadensis; Rhus aromatica 
This shrub, so called because the leaves are aromatically 
fragrant when bruised, is so different in habit and foliage from 
the better known Sumacs few would recognize it as a Sumac. 
The leaflets are in 3’s, 2 to 4 in. long, in autumn orange or 
scarlet. While its spikes of small yellowish flowers are not 
showy. they are followed by hairy red berries in latter June and 
July. It makes a dense, low-spreading bush usually 3 to 4 ft. 
high, well supplied with foliage to the ground.

Tamarix; Tamarisk 
While grown mainly for their delicate, feathery foliage, in 
general effect much like Asparagus, the very small pink flowers 
also make quite a display. Prune severely each spring to main- 
tain a continuous supply of new wood and keep the plant 
bushy. It attains a height of 8 to 15 feet, and lower growing 
shrubs should be planted in front. 
Tamarix africana. Early; tiny bright pink flowers for a 
considerable distance along last season’s slender, dark purple 
branches. 
Tamarix amurensis; Amur Tamarix. Blue-green foliage; 
tiny rosy pink flowers in large terminal clusters in latter summer. 
Tamatix hispida; Kashgar Tamarix. Leaves bluish-green, 
flowers tiny, coral to lavender-pink in long clusters at the ends 
of the branches in mid to latter summer. Prune in early spring: 
Tamarix odessana; Caspian Tamarix. Long clusters of tiny 
pink flowers in summer and early autumn; silvery-green foliage.
