TREES AND SHRUBS. 77 



P. grandiflorw, syn. for 1\ spectosus, flowering in 

 June. 



P. inodorWi only growing to a height of (> ft., and 

 flowering in June. 



P. .s'ywr/'o.y/M-. syn. for P. grandiftorus. 



Philadelphus microphyllus 



Is a dense little deciduous shrub, not more than 

 .'3 ft. high, that should be given a warm corner, but 

 never a crowded one, as it requires plenty of sun and 

 light. A fairly rich and open loam, mixed with some 

 leaf soil, is the best bed for it, and where it is happy 

 it will produce masses of white fragrant blossom from 

 June to August. 



Phillyrea J^ilmoriniana, 



Syn. for P. laurifolia, is an evergreen that will 

 produce its clusters of white sweet -scented flowers 

 in the axils of the leaves during the month of May, 

 and following these come small plum -like drupes. 

 This is the hardiest of the Phillyreas, but even for 

 this one, in the colder parts of England, a very shel- 

 tered spot will have to be chosen. It will grow to a 

 height of 10 ft. if raised from cuttings or grafted on to 

 the Privet, in almost any soil.
