JUNE EFFECTS ON THE LA WN. 



June flowers like veritable orange blossoms. Philadd- 

 phus cormiarim is the most sweet-scented and in other 

 ways the best variety, although grati- 

 diftoruSj laxus, speciosus, etc., are larger 

 and more easily propagated. There 

 is a fine dwarf golden Philadelphus 

 that does not receive the attention it 

 should. 



A well-known JmJe-flowering ge- 

 nus of shrub is the Deutzia, not 

 Deutzia gracilis only, but Deutzia 

 crenata, fl. pi., a Japan plant, strong- 

 growing, and bear- 

 ing masses of attrac- 



tive pinkish-white flowers, 



and also the smaller D. 



scabra, fl. pi. There 



are also Deutzias 



Fortunei. crenata and 



Stfflfo^ both intei'eSt- 



ing, hardy, rapid-growing shrubs. 

 The vigorous bright-green bush 

 honeysuckles are also attractive in 

 June, with the red and white 

 flowers of Tartarwa, the white of 

 excellent drooping fragmntissima, 

 and the yellow and yellowish-red of 

 wylosteum, flexuosa, and Ledebowrii. 



The sweet-scented shrubs Calycanthus floridu* and 

 C. Icevigatus likewise offer the spicy fragrance of their 



GORDON'S MOCK ORANGE.
