growth with a foliage of rich green 
which assumes pleasing autumnal 
coloring. Very graceful and orna-

a mass of the most beautiful rich

CARYOPTERIS, BLUE MIST (Hardy 
Blue Spirea)— 
We have plenty of blooming shrubs dur- 
ing the early season through late May, 
June and July. But when fall comes, as a 
rule, the shrubs are bare of bloom. 
So it seems nice to find a late blooming 
shrub hardy enough to stand our northern 
climate. This we have in Hardy Caryopteris 
which has proved hardy to the Canadian 
line. 
A low growing, perfectly rounded shrub 
that reaches a height of about 2 feet. Cov- 
ered through August until killing frost with 
delicate lacelike flowers. Nice 2 yr. plants, 
85c.

May. One of the finest spring blooming, 
small shrubs. The flowers are pure white and

curves. Foliage narrow and willow-like and
