SPIRAEA (Spirea) 
This family of shrubs furnishes a variety of form, size, 
foliage and blossoms. All varieties are hardy and adapted 
to almost any location, always forming an important part 
in shrub beautification. 
Anthony Waterer. This dwarf variety has showy clusters 
of crimson flowers in July, and if cut as they fade, will 
continue to bloom until frost. 2 to 3 feet at maturity. 
Bridal Wreath (S. prunifolia). Blooms early in spring, 
even before Spirea Van Houtte, with clusters of button- 
like white flowers. Early in the fall the foliage turns 
beautiful tones of red and bronze. 6 feet at maturity. 
Thunberg’s (S. Thunbergi). One of the finest low growing 
shrubs, with fine, delicate foliage which is light yellowish 
green, changing to brilliant red and orange in autumn. 
Very desirable for low, untrimmed hedges or group plant- 
ings. Does well in shade or open light. 2 to 3 feet at 
maturity. 
Van Houtte (S. Van Houttei). Indispensable in grouping 
of shrubbery with its graceful arching slender branches 
and “maidenhair” foliage. A fountain of white in May. 
Splendid for untrimmed hedges, and may be planted in 
the shade. 4 to 6 feet at maturity. 

Spiraea Thunbergi 
SUMAC (Rhus) 
All varieties of Sumac are suitable for screen or group 
purposes where dry, hot or dusty conditions prevail. They 
have bright colorful foliage effects in the fall. 
Aromatic Sumac (R. canadensis). Low, spreading shrub, 
with yellow flowers in spring and coral-red fruit. The 
fragrant, aromatic foliage turns brilliant orange and scar- 
let in autumn. 5 to 7 feet at maturity. 
Cut-Leaved Sumae (R. typhina laciniata). Same as Stag- 
horn Sumac, except the leaves are finely cut. 12 to 15 
feet at maturity. 
Staghorn Sumac (R. typhina). As the name implies, the 
growth is rugged and irregular, giving a very picturesque 
effect for heavy mass planting. 12 to 15 feet at maturity.
