THUNBERGI— 
May. One of the finest spring bloom- 
ing, small shrubs. The flowers are pure 
white and are borne along the entire length 
of the branches, bending them down in 
graceful curves. Foliage narrow and wil- 
low-like and turns to pleasing shades of 
orange scarlet in autumn. 2-3 ft., 75c. 
SPIREA VANHOUTTE— 
(Bridal Wreath) 
Perhaps the most popular of all the 
Spireas and has been the most planted. It 
is of upright tho pendulous growth with a 
foliage of rich green which assumes pleas- 
ing autumnal coloring. Very graceful and 
ornamental even when out of bloom. When 
covered with its dense clusters of pure 
white flowers, the branches are weighted 
down nearly to the ground and the whole 
bush presents a mass of the most beauti- 
ful rich white. A beautiful shrub either 
for single lawn specimens or in groups.

magnified snowflake. Originator’s descrip- ©

What Impression Do Your 
Home Grounds Make? 
The world judges by appearances! 
Make no mistake about it. You are being 
judged every day by the appearance of 
your home grounds. 
Particularly is this true now, when a 
great vogue for beautiful home surround- 
ings is sweeping the country—when well- 
planted and well-kept home grounds are as 
much a part of the trend of the times as 
modern motor cars and fashionable apparel.
