Minnesota Snowflake Mock Orange—An improve- 
ment over Virginal. Originated near Minneapolis. 
18-24 inch, each $1.25. 
Potentilla Fruiticosa—2 ft. Perhaps this long 
name was given it because it has such a long 
blooming season. 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. 
Russian Sandthern—For use as a color contrast 
this tall shrub with shiny gray leaves is useful. 
In common with other silver leaved plants such 
as the Russian Olive and Buffalo Berry, it does 
well in and prefers dry locations. The flowers are 
of two kinds, perfect and imperfect, so it is only 
the plants with the perfect flowers that have ber- 
ries. Those that do have them are usually heavily 
loaded with golden berries that hang on into the 
winter. 18-24 inch, each 75 cents, 3 for $2.00. 
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 the late fall. 2-3 ft., each 
75 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, 75 cents, 
Golden Leaved Spirea—6-8 ft. A large full 
branched husky shrub with large yellow leaves. 
2-3 ft., 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 75 cents. 
Snowball—8 to 10 ft. An old favorite admired 
by everyone for its large flowers that look like 
snowballs. 3-year bushes, each $1.00. 
Tamarix—S-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 flower bouquets. 
Should be cut back severely every spring. 2-3 ft., 
each $1.00. 
Dwarf Blue Leaf Arctic Willow — 2-3 ft. The 
leaves on this low growing bush are very numer- 
ous and have a blue tinge. An excellent shrub 
where space is limited, it takes well to slipping: 
18-24 inch, 75 cents.
