Snowball, Common; Virbumum opulus sterile

long, bronzy-red in autumn. Grows 6 to 8 ft. high. Succeeds

Spirea 
Justly popular for their hardiness, thriftiness, profusion of 
bloom, graceful habit, neat foliage, and general freedom from 
serious insects and diseases. The early blooming Spireas, 
after the bush attains good size, should have some old wood 
removed to the ground each year immediately after bloom- 
ing. Prune late blooms in early spring, before growth starts. 
When neglected for years it may be necessary to prune al- 
most the entire plant to the ground in early spring. They suc- 
ceed in any moderately moist lawn soil of average fertility. 
Spirea Anthony Waterer 
Small five-petaled rosy-crimson flowers in dense flat clus- 
ters cover the 3 ft. bush in early June. If the flowers are cut 
off as they fade it blooms at intervals until fall. Dwarf, com- 
pact, upright habit; rather fine textured deep green foliage. 
Excellent for foundation and border plantings, and in front 
of taller shrubs. Succeeds with sun half the day. Prune part 
of the old wood out each spring.
