Mock Orange, Virginal—A very valuable new 
shrub, the large semi-double flowers just simply 
cover the 5-foot bush late in June when few 
shrubs are blooming. A strong point in its favor 
4 us orange blossom fragrance. 2-3 ft., each 
1N25. 
Minnesota Snowflake Mock Orange—An improve- 
ment over Virginal. Originated near Minneapolis. 
18-24 inch, each $1.50. 
Potentilla Fruiticosa—2 ft. Perhaps this long 
name was given it because it has such a long 
blooming season. The numerous small single yel- 
low flowers appear late in the spring and keep on 
all summer. Very hardy and drought resistant. 
12-18 inch, 50 cents. 
Silverberry—6 ft. This has a very striking shiny 
silver colored leaf. Particularly pleasing when 
used together with other shrubs with good foli- 
age, such as cotoneaster, purple leaved cistena, 
tamarix, and yellow spirea. Its only objection is 
the habit of suckering. Strong plants, each 75 
cents. 
Spirea Van Houetti—Commonly called Bridal- 
wreath. Justly deserves its high favor. Its grace- 
ful arching branches are covered with masses of 
white fiowers in May. It also has a nice purplish 
color to the leaves in late tall. 2-3 ft., each 60 
cents. 
Ash Leaved Spirea—5-6 ft. A vigorous fast- 
growing variety having long spikes of white flow- — 
ers in midsummer. Good for shade or dry places. 
Suckers freely. Good plants, $1.00. 
Golden Leaved Spirea—6-8 ft. A _ large full 
branched husky shrub with large yellow leaves. 
2-3 {t., each 75 cents. 
Snowgarland Spirea—5 ft. Resembles somewhat 
the Van Houetti, but blossoms a week earlier. 2-3 
ft., each 75 cents. 
Dwarf Spirea—Red or pink flowers in July on 
a two-foot bush. Good spring and fall coloring. 
Each 60 cents. 
Tamarix—6-8 ft. The foliage of this shrub is 
something like that of asparagus, or red cedar. 
the color is blue green and the flower spikes 
which come out in the summer are pink. The 
foliage is good for mixing with fiower bouquets. 
Should be cut back severely every spring. 3-4 ft., 
each $1.00.
