Spirea Prunifolia 4,,2¢hy eases 
branches are thickly covered almost to their 
entire length with the delicate snow-white 
blossoms of the Prunifolia. Each of the 
slightiy arching branches a wreath by itself. 
Each blossom perfectly double. The shrub 
is hardy anywhere, and remains in the 
same place for many years with little more 
than an occasional light pruning, which is 
done right after blooming, if the branches 
are not used for bouquets. Grows to a 
height of about 4 feet. Very choice shrubs, 
18 to 24-inch size, 80c each, prepaid. 
Spirea Van Houtti “Bridal 
W ‘" Its height of 5 to 6 feet, that 
reath can be Kept sheared if de- 
sired, fits in just perfectly on most places. 
For hedges, foundation planting, back- 
ground to smaller shrubs or flowers, as well 
as for single specimens; few other shrubs 
fit in so well as this Spirea. May and June 
are the flowering time of the Spirea Van 
Houtti. Like huge snow-drifts, the branch- 
es of the shrub arching as if under the 
weight of the blossoms with which they 
are completely covered. Perfect hardiness, 
healthy growth, easiest of culture, make 
up the rest of desirable qualities all found 
in this shrub.
