Spirea Van Houttei; Van Houtte’s Bridal Wreath 
A fountain of white in late April and May, its arching 
branches covered with clusters of small five-petaled flowers 
one-third in. across; the graceful drooping habit and neat 
dense foliage, 34 to 134 in. long, make it attractive through- 
out the season; excellent for grouping, as a background for 
lower shrubs, a foreground for taller shrubs, a screen, or as 
a specimen plant. Each spring, after blooming, prune some 
of the old canes to the ground. Grows 6 to 7 ft. high.

Japan Quince 
Tamarix; Tamarisk 
While grown mainly for their delicate feathery foliage, in 
general effect like Asparagus, the tiny flowers make the bush 
a cloud of pink. Prune severely each spring to maintain a 
continuous supply of new wood and to keep the plant bushy 
and the height desired. It attains 4 to 15 ft. according to va- 
riety. Plant lower growing shrubs in front of the taller Tama- 
rix. 
Tamarix hispida. Early; tiny bright pink flowers in clus- 
ters 1 in. long for a distance along last season's slender, 
dark purple branches; tall. Prune after blooming.

Snowball 
Vitex macrophylla; New Chaste Tree 
Its long spikes of small, rather deep lavender blue flowers 
at the ends of the branches in July and at intervals till fall, 
somewhat resemble those of the Butterfly Bush. It makes a 
distinctive, rather large shrub of graceful, open airy habit, 
with five-fingered leaves, dark green above, grayish beneath, 
with an aromatic pungent odor. Not yet in general use, but 
desirable in the shrub border for contrast.

Its flowers are furry catkins and appear in early spring 
before the leaves. They are often used as cut flowers either 
alone or with other flowers. When used in the shrubbery 
border it should be planted to the rear as it gets quite large.
