A slender branched shrub with 
feathery green foliage. It blossoms in 
July with delicate feathered sprays of 
pink flowers. Because the tops are 
likely to kill back a little during the

fully. Does well in sandy and poor 
soils.

Spirea Anthony Waterer 
[11] 

Spirea Van Houttei 
SPIREA 
Most Universally Planted of All Shrubs 
This family of shrubs offers a variety of 
form, size, color of blossom and foliage, 
as well as time of blossoming. The riotous 
luxuriance of bloom makes them most 
striking and beautiful. All the varieties are 
extremely hardy and easy to grow in al- 
most any soil or situation. 
ANTHONY WATERER. (A variety of Bumalda.) 
Red flowers in July in showy flat clusters, borne 
on strong, erect stems. If the blossoms are cut 
as they fade, Anthony Waterer will continue to 
blossom until frost. It is fine in front of larger 
shrubbery; it is very hardy, and will succeed in 
any soil. A very profuse bloomer. 2 to 3 feet. 
ARGUTA (Garland Flower.) In early May its 
branches are completely covered with small white 
flowers. Bush is of a light open habit with small 
leaves. to 4 feet.

cover the plant in July and August. The bush 
itself grows compact and shapely. 4 to 5 feet 
high. It is very fine in the border. Will grow 
almost anywhere. 
FROEBEL’S. Pink flowers. This variety is quite 
similar to Spirea Anthony Waterer but just a 
little more vigorous and slightly taller growing. 
An excellent suggestion for foundation plantings 
and for setting ahead of taller growing shrubs. 
Ultimate height 3 feet. 
KOREAN (Spirea Trichocarpa). It is strong grow- 
ing, attaining a height of 4 to 6 feet, forming 
a large, globe-shaped bush which is covered with 
large rounded clusters of snowy white flowers 
marked with darker eyes. Blooms about 2 weeks 
later than the popular Spirea Van Houttei. It is 
most hardy. Retains its beautiful glossy green 
foliage late into the autumn. 
OPULIFOLIA (Ninebark Physocarpus). It bears 
large clusters of white flowers soon after the 
Bridal Wreath season. These are followed by red- 
dish seed pods, which are very ornamental later 
in the summer. The bark peels in narrow strips 
like the Birch. Use in mass plantings for screens 
and backgrounds. Grows 5 to 8 feet. 
OPULIFOLIA NANA (Dwarf Ninebark). A dwarf 
form of the ordinary Ninebark, growing 3 to 5 
feet high. A compact, bushy shrub; makes ex- 
cellent hedges. 
SORBIFOLIA. Sometimes called Ash-Leaved Spirea 
for its handsome, fernlike foliage. In June and 
July the vigorous, branching bush is covered 
with lovely feathery panicles of creamy white 
blooms, 
VAN HOUTTEI. “‘Bridal Wreath’’, as it is com- 
monly called, 1s undoubtedly the most popular 
shrub we offer. About the time of Decoration 
Day the bush is a complete mass of white flowers, 
carried on long graceful drooping branches. It is 
a favorite shrub the country over—so hardy, so 
easy to grow, answering so many purposes. Used 
for foundation plantings, borders, or as trimmed 
or untrimmed hedges it serves nearly every pur- 
pose. Its foliage is attractive all through the sea- 
son. Grows 4 to 6 feet high.
