10 THE SARCOXIE NURSERIES PEONY FIELDS 
Shrubs, continued 
Spirea, Garland; Spirea arguta 
One of the most welcome sights of early spring with its 
pure white flowers one-third in. across clustered along the 
graceful branches like a mantel of snow before the leaves 
expand. Its small. leaves and height of 5 to 7 ft. make it use- 
ful for small groups, foundation plants and other points 
where fine textural effect is desirable. Prune after blooming.

Spirea Golden; Spirea opulifolia aurea; Physocarpus aureus 
Perhaps unsurpassed for golden foliage color in early 
spring, becoming bronze-yellow in early summer, green in 
latter summer, furnishing a variety of colors during the sea- 
son. Flowers inconspicuous, white, five-petaled, 3 in. across 
in flat clusters 1 to 2 in. across in early May. Grows 5 to 7 
ft. high. A sunny situation with pruning each spring gives 
better spring color.

Very double white flowers like tiny button Chrysanthe- 
mums in clusters of three to six along last year’s canes, mak- 
ing a wonderful showing in very early spring before the 
leaves appear. Autumn foliage, orange and scarlet. Upright 
habit, slender branches, growing 4 to 5 ft. high. Prune part 
of the old canes to the ground after blooming to keep bushy.

Spirea Thunbergi; Thunberg’s Spirea 
Its graceful spreading and arching branches 3 to 5 ft. high 
are clothed with many small, pure white five-petaled flowers 
3/, in. across in clusters of three to six in March, before the 
Spirea 
Van Houttei 

leaves are developed; leaves very narrow, 1 to 1% in. long, 
light green. The fine feathery foliage makes Thunbergi suit- 
able for nearby plantings where shrubs of coarse texture 
would be out of place. Better if pruned some each year after 
blooming.

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 five-petaled flowers 
one-third in. across; the graceful drooping habit and neat 
dense foliage, 34 to 134 in. long, make it attractive through- 
out 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.
