SARCOXIE FLOWERING SHRUBS—Contd. 
Olive, Russian 
Eleagnus angustifolia. Usually grown as a tall shrub, 
this plant is frequently regarded as a small tree. Grows nor- 
mally about 15 feet high, and the height can be held down 
easily by pruning. Tiny narrow bell-shaped flowers are pro- 
duced in early spring, and are very fragrant. Following 
the flowers are the olive-shaped fruit ¥/-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. 
2 to 3 ft. Hedging Grade—5 for $1.25; 10 for $2.00: 25 for $4.35.

Quince, Japan or Flowering; Cydonia japonica 
Beautiful in latter March, sometimes February, just as the

in. across in clusters of two to six, a fiery scarlet so brilliant 
it is also called Burning Bush. Its dense foliage is glossy dark 
green, in autumn bronzy-red. Fruit yellowish-green, 11/2 to 2 
in. across, not edible, its fragrance retained when dried. 
Usual height 3 to 6 ft.; branches thorny; young plants some- 
what irregular in growth becoming attractive with age. Plant 
in sun. Prune after blooming. See illustration next page.

long, bronzy-red in autumn. Grows 6 to 8 ft. high. Succeeds 
in sun or partial shade. Prune after blooming. See illustra-

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. 
Spirea Anthony Waierer 
Crimson flowers in flat clusters in late May and at inter- 
vals until fall; grows 3 feet high.

Spirea prunifolia: True Bridalwreath Spirea 
Produces long sprays of beautiful double white flowers in 
early May. This spirea differs from Van Houtte, being double 
flowered rather than single, and also is a little more upright 
in habit, and has orange to red autumn foliage. Grows 6 to 
7 ft. in height.

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 1% 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.
