Principal Species : 



foliata, hdy., sc., large, 1" across (syns. Ano- 

 planthus Biebersteinii and foliata). 



PHILADELPHIA. (MOCK OKANGE, 

 SYKINGA.) 



Description. Ornamental hardy shrubs (ortl. 

 Saxifragese), with white, sometimes sweet-scented, 

 flowers, and very desirable for the shrubbery or 

 garden. Some of the new hybrids are very beauti- 

 ful. 



The pruning of Philadolphuses should receive 

 attention. Many people fail with Lemoinci and 

 others of that set through inattention to pruning. 

 After the flowers are over, all old flowering shoots 

 should be cut out or cut back to strong young 

 shoots ; by this means the best flowering wood is 

 obtained. Mock Oranges are also good subjects 

 for forcing.
