10 to 12 feet. An old favorite having 
unusual and attractive foliage. When 
in bloom the tree is virtually a mist of 
minute smoky lavender flowers, sug- 
white on young growth. The bright pink flowers are 
borne in full, flat clusters on erect stems in June 
and July. If these are cut away when they fade, 
the shrub will bloom during the summer. Valuable 
for edging in front of shrubbery and sometimes 
gesting a cloud of smoke. Each used as a dwarf hed

S. Van Houttei (Bridal Bower; Bridal Wreath). 4 to 6 feet. This shrub tej 
should need no description as it is planted and known all over America. ai 
The rather slender arching branches are literally covered with clusters of We 
small white flowers in early spring. Good foliage and form, but should Kt 
be planted where it does not have to be cut back too severely. Can be W 
used as specimen, in masses, or for a graceful hedge. Have a wonderful Wi 
stock of plants. For hedges or quantity lots ask for prices. Each Hy
