variety, rarely growing over 2% feet tall, 
of nice upright growth, carrying its crim- 
son-red flower heads well above the foli- 
age. It is practically everblooming, and 
because of its even height and showy blos- 
soms it makes an ideal border planting for 
larger shrubs, particularly for groups of 
Hydrangeas. In the extreme North we rec- 
ommend a light mulch of leaves or straw 
for the winter. Very nice, well rooted 
plants, 15 to 18 inches tall, 65c each; 3 for 
$1.80; 10 for $4.95; prepaid.

of about 5 feet. It blooms throughout 
August, when few other flowers are in 
bloom, every branch bearing a _ strong, 
fluffy flower spike. For foundation plant- 
ing or for an informal hedge to be grown without shearing. 
You will find this shrub of special value. Nice 2 ft. shrubs, 
58c each, 3 for $1.60, prepaid. : 
= = a This is the original true Bridal 
Spirea Prunifolia Wreath which blooms very early in 
the spring, before the leaves appear. At that time the small 
double floretts are covering each branch to its entire length, 
and so completely that it truely resembles a bridal-wreath. 
It is very hardy, and should be in every garden for very 
early flowers. Normally this Spirea grows about 4 ft. tall. 
If it is to be kept lower, cut it back at blooming time, and 
use the flowers for bouquets, or do the trimming right after 
hlooming. Very choice shrubs, 80c each: pair, $1.45; prepaid.

in early May. Hardy anywhere. Very nice 2 ft. shrubs, 50c 
each, 3 for $1.35, prepaid. 
C : A dwarf Spirea, reaching a height 
Spirea Thunbergi of about 3 feet, and can be sheared 
to a lower hedge form. Blooms in late spring; white flowers 
seattered throughout the shrub. Its chief value is in the 
foliage, which makes a very showy display for hedging. Nar- 
row leaves, of unusual light green color. Not sufficiently 
hardy north of central Nebraska. Good 12 to 18-inch shrubs, 
for single specimens or hedges, 45c each, 3 for $1.20, prepaid. 
= * Commonly called ‘‘Bridal Wreath.’’ 
Spirea Van Houtti Always hardy, always clean, of 
easiest culture, it simply makes good anywhere, and blooms 
so abundantly through May and June that each bush resem- 
bles a snow-drift. As a single shrub, or in a group, or in 
trimmed or natural hedges, this is the most popular flowering 
shrub in* America, and has earned that place by virtue of its 
qualities, which never fail. In the shade or full sun, good or 
poor soil, Spirea Van Houtti will never let you down. If you 
ever like to cut it back for any reason, such shearing or trim- 
ming is done right after blooming.

PLANTING AND CARE OF SHRUBS 
All our shrubs are carefully selected for nice, large 
root systems. Have the holes dug large enough to give 
the roots plenty of room without ‘‘cramping”’ or bending. 
The holes should be deep enough so that the shrub can 
be planted about 1 inch deeper than grown before.
