SPIBJEA VAN HOUTTEI. Spiraea Van Houttei.—Undoubtedly the finest early-flowering, white-blossomed Spiraea is that known in gardens as S. Van Houttei. Its large, pure white, short stemmed flowers are pro- duced in close colymbose clusters on short, leafy lateral branchlets along tne branches. The branches are slender and recurved. The plant will grow six feet or more in height and spread as much in diameter, and with ordinary care it will bear a profusion of flowers regularly every year. The dark green foliage is abundant, seems re- markably free from blemishing diseases, and it keeps a fresh and healthy appearance throughout the summer and well into the autumn, when many species become leafless. It is usually in finest flower in the last week of May or about the first of June. PRICE, strong flowering plants, 10c; doz., $1.
