which is a dry capsule, has as lltfe 

 beauty as that of a Lilac; there is 

 nothing distinct or .particularly inter- 

 esting in the habit of the plants of any 

 of the species, and the leaves fall in 

 autumn without brilliant coloring. As 

 flowering plants not many shrubs, 

 however, surpass them in beauty, and 

 their value is increased by the length 

 of the flowering season which extends 

 in the Arboretum during fully six 

 weeks. 



The first Philadelphus to flower in 

 the Arboretum . opened its Powers 

 several days ago; it is from Korea (F. 

 Schenkii var. Jackii), and is a tall nar- 

 row shrub with erect stems and flow- 

 ers of medium size, and is of no ex- 

 ceptional value as an ornamental 

 plant. Almost as early. to flower is P. 

 hirsutus from the southern Appalach- 

 ian Mountain region. This is one ot 

 the smallest flowered species and in 

 the Arboretum is a large loose-grow- 

 ing shrub of unattractive habit, and 

 of comparatively little value as a gar- 

 den plant. 



It is to be regretted that the Syringa 

 of old gardens (P. coronarius) has 

 been pushed aside by newer introduc- 

 tions and has become comparatively 

 rare in at least. this part of the coun- 

 try, for the flowers of no other 

 Syringa have a more delicate and de- 

 lightful perfume. This plant, which is 

 a .native of western Europe, reached 

 England before the end of the six- 

 teenth century, and was probably one 

 of the first shrubs which the English 

 emigrants brought with them to this 

 country. Among the American specie.-, 

 which should find a place in all gar- 

 dens are P. inodorus, P. pubescens nml 

 P. .microphyllus. The first is a native 

 of the Appalachian Mountain Region 

 and grows to the height of six feet' 

 it has arching branches and large, 

 solitary, pure white, cup-shaped, 

 scentless flowers. By some persons it 

 is considered the most beautiful of all 

 Syringas. P. pubescens, often called 

 P. grandiflorus or P. latifolius, is also 

 a plant of the .southern Appalachian 

 region. It often grows to the height of 

 twenty feet; the branches are stout 

 and erect, the leaves are broad, and 

 the . slightly fragrant flowers are
