Of medium growth, with double white flowers in clusters in May. Very fine. 35 cts. each. — Sorbifolia StelHpeda. A splendid improvement on the old Mountain Ash-leaved Spiraea, with which it is identical, except that the white flowers are produced in immense pyramidal panicles, frequently ten inches wide by fifteen inches high; these, backed with the bright green ferny foliage, appear like large bouquets of bloom. Flowers during July and August. Strong plants, 50 cts. each. _ Thunbergl. One of the most charming of all low- \ growing Shrubs, with fine, delicate foliage, and a profu- ''^ sion of small white flowers in spring. 35 cts. each. Van Houttel. Thegrandest of all the white Spirseas; it is of compact habit and a beautiful ornament for the lawn at any season, but when in flower it is a complete fountain of white bloom, the foliage hardly showing. (See cut.) 35 cts. each. Staphylea Colchica {Bladder Nut). One of the finest tall- growing early spring-flowering Shrubs, coming into bloom at the same time as Lilacs. Flowers very attractive, white and fragrant; disposed in clusters of good size. 50 els. each. Symphoricarpus Racemosus {Snowherry). A well- known dwarf Shrub, with small pink flowers and large white berries that hang on the plant the greater part of the winter. 35 cts. each. — Vulgaris {Red-fruited, or Indian Currant). Similar to the above, but with bright red fruit. 35 cts. each. Tamarix Hispida /Cstivalis. A distinct variety with deli- cate, soft pink sprays of flowers in July and August
