Elaeagnus pungens fruitlandi (70») 
This makes a vigorous, spreading evergreen shrub 15 feet tall 
if allowed to do as it pleases; if there is a wall handy it will scram- 
ble over it in a delightful way. It makes a perfect corner shrub 
for foundation planting or as a hedge plant. 
The foliage is dark green above and silvery beneath, the silver 
dotted with brown scales. 
While the drooping yellowish flowers are rather inconspicuous, 
they are sweet-scented and are followed by yellowish red fruit 
which is covered with silvery brown scales. 
Spiraea cantoniensis, Double (zottom) 
This double form of the splendid Canton Spirea is a valuable 
deciduous shrub which produces its dense umbels of pure white 
flowers in early spring. 
Being a compact, branching plant, with lance-shaped leaves 
of bluish green, it is attractive when out of bloom and is an 
especially nice plant when without foliage. 
It will thrive under various conditions and will give best 
satisfaction if pruned very little, if at all; allow the plant to 
| develop naturally.
