The Philadelphus inodorus is a very dcfirable fhrub, the 

 flowers being confiderably larger, and of a purer white than thofe 

 of the coronarius ,- and to mod people are not the lefs acceptable 

 for being without fcent, that of the mock orange being far too 

 powerful to be generally agreeable even without doors. 



Being a native of Carolina, though hardy enough to bear 

 our winters when not unulually fevere, it mud be liable to be 

 deftroyed occasionally. To this caufe we fuppofe is to be 

 attributed the prefent fcarcity of a plant introduced into the 

 country before the year 1738.
