SPIR^.\, Lance-leaved {S. Reevesii, fi. pi). A charming shrub with graceful^and brisk habits ; flowers a dazzling double white, in May. Litidleyaaa. Growth quite tall, leaves delicately pinnated ; flowers white in panicles. Van Houttei. The grandest of all the Spireas. It is a beautiful ornament for the lawn at any season, but when in flower it is a complete fountain of white bioom, the foliage hardly showing. Clusters of twenty to thirty flat white florets make up the raceme, and these clusters are set close along the drooping stems. Perfectly hardy, and an early bloomer. SYRINGA (Lilac). A beautiful shrub or tree, with which all are familiar. The prin- cipal varieties are : Common Purple {S. vulgaris). A well-known shrub, with purple, fragrant flowers. Alba. Like the preceding, except the flowers, \\ hich are nearly while; Lie ens in May. Emodi. Tree-like species from China, with long leaves and late red flowers. Joslkea. Quite different in foliage and appearance from the other lilacs. Leaves of waxy appearance and wavy surface ; an upright grower and blooms one month later than other varieties. Persica laclniata (Fern-Leaved Lilac). This sort is extremelj- fine in foliage, and,is a very eflfective trailer on the rockery. VIBURNUM plleatum (Japan Snowball ). Of moderate growth; handsome, plicated leaves, globular heads of pure white neutral flowers early in June. It surpasses the common variety in several respects ; its habit is better, foliage much handsomer, flowers whiter and more delicate ; one of the most valuable flowering shrubs. WIEGELIA, Rose-Colored {Diervilla rosea). A very charming shrub, bearing an abundance of rose-colored flowers in May. It is very hardy and should be planted in all collections. Amabil
