Spiraea — Spirea 
A vast and important family of extraordinarily beautiful 
shrubs. All have great charm of foliage and the profusion 
of flowers they produce is remarkable. The Spireas fall 
into two main groups: (1) medium and large sorts with 
white flowers, ranging from April to July; (2) dwarf sorts 
with red, pink, or white flowers in July and August. The 
spring flowers are borne all along the branches; the sum- 
mer flowers in small heads at the ends of the branches. The 
spring-flowering sorts thrive in all soils; the summer-bloom- 
ers like lime. 
Spiraea arguta Garland Spirea 
The best early-flowering Spirea, producing in May sheets of min- 
ute flowers like drifts of snow. Very hardy and beautiful, it is one 
of the best of the very early-flowering shrubs.

Spiraea Vanhouttei 
S. trichocarpa Korean Spirea 
A wide bush of compact, rounded habit, with outer branches grace- 
fully arching to the ground. The flowers are borne abundantly, in 
showy, dome-shaped clusters, transforming the branches into sway- 
ing wands of blossoms, in June and July. It is a choice contribution 
to our gardens from Korea, extending the flowering season, as it does, 
nearly 3 weeks after S. vanhouttei.

handsome, blue green foliage makes it very desirable either as a 
specimen in the shrub border or in an informal unclipped hedge.
