Japan, with slender green 
branches and showy double

Olive, Russian 
Eleagnus angustifolia. Us- 
ually grown as a tall shrub, 
this plant is frequently regard- 
ed as a small tree. Grows 
normally about 15 ft. high, and 
the height can be held down 
easily by pruning. Tiny nar- 
row bell-shaped flowers are 
produced in early spring, and are very fragrant. Following 
the flowers are the olive-shaped fruit 14-inch long. Used 
principally for the beautiful silvery foliage and grotesque 
habit of the tree. Excellent as a windbreak and drought re- 
sistant, it may be used on farms where watering would be 
impractical. Also this plant is a good specimen plant for 
landscaping or as a background.

THE SPIREAS 
Justly popular for their hardiness, thriftiness, profusion of 
bloom, graceful habit, neat foliage, and general freedom from 
serious insects and diseases. The early blooming Spireas, 
after the bush attains good size, should have some old wood 
removed to the ground each year immediately after bloom- 
ing. Prune late, blooms in early spring before growth starts. 
When neglected for years it may be necessary to prune al- 
most the entire plant to the ground in early spring. They suc- 
ceed in any moderately moist lawn soil of average fertility. 
Spirea Van Houttei—Excellent as a shrub or hedge.

vals until fall; grows 3 feet high.

Spirea Thunbergi; Thunberg’s Spirea 
Its graceful spreading and arching branches 3 to 5 ft. high 
are clothed with many small, pure white five-petaled flowers 
3g in. across in clusters of three to six in March, before the 
leaves are developed; leaves very narrow, | to 134 in. long, 
light green. The fine feathery foliage makes Thunbergi suit- 
able for nearby plantings where shrubs of coarse texture 
would be out of place. Better if pruned some each year after 
blooming.

Spirea Van Houttei; Van Houtte’s Bridal Wreath 
A fountain of white in late April and May, its arching 
branches covered with clusters of small five-petaled flowers 
one-third in. across; the graceful drooping habit and neat 
dense foliage, 34 to 134 in. long, make it attractive through- 
out the season; excellent for grouping, as a background for 
lower shrubs, a foreground for taller shrubs, a screen, or as 
a specimen plant. Each spring, after blooming, prune some 
of the old canes to the ground. Grows 6 to 7 ft. high.
