7<> CALENDAR OF FLOWERING 



be given n warm and sheltered spot where the cold 

 winds will not injure the flowers. It is best increased 

 by budding or grafting. 



Philadelphus coronarius 



ck Orange], commonly and wrongly known as 

 /, is a quick and weedy grower, but should be 

 planted in every garden on account of the delicious 

 scent of the flowers : not. however, too near the house, 

 for it is overpoweringly strong. They appear in May, 

 and it will be found a good plan to cut back the 

 branches after they have done flowering : this will keep 

 the shrub more together, and ensure a better bloom 

 the next year. It is deciduous, and will grow to a 

 height of 10 ft. in any fairly good soil, being best 

 raised in the Spring under a glass, in a little heat, from 

 cuttings. A variety called- 



P. c. /O//M uurcix should be planted where it is 

 fairly shady, or the sun will spoil the beautiful rich 

 golden colour of its foliage, and if it has some dark 

 evergreen or the Prun-us Pissard'ri behind it, its beauty 

 will be much increased. 



The following varieties, too, are worth growing as 

 well, for. although much like P. coronarinu. they bloom 

 at different seasons :- 



P. Gordonianm, with creamy white scentless flowers 

 in July, height 10 ft.
