Philadeiphus — "Mer de Glace'* 



New Hybrid Philadeiphus 



The great French hybridizer Lemoine has produced a new race of 

 Philadeiphus commonly known as Syringa or Mock Orange that are the 

 most valuable introduction in shrubs in twenty-five years. Not only 

 are the flowers wonderfully improved but they are produced in marvel- 

 ous profusion and the smallest and youngest plants are covered with 

 flowers. Nothing has ever attracted more attention and admiration 

 in our trial grounds where they have been thoroughly tested. 



"Mer de Glace" (Sea of Ice). Undoubtedly one of the most beautiful 

 shrubs introduced for many years. Everyone is familiar with so- 

 called Syringa or Mock Orange but Lemoine, the great French hy- 

 bridizer, has improved this old shrub wonderfully. The flowers are 

 globular semi-double, of a glistening pure white and deliriously 

 sweet-scented. It would be impossible for a shrub to bear more 

 flowers and the smallest plants are covered. People who have seen 

 it in our trial grounds have been delighted with this exquisite shrub. 

 $1.00 each; $10.00 per dozen. 



Albatre. An extremely floriferous shrub in the way of the beautiful 

 variety "Mer de Glace," slender branches furnished with middle- 

 sized serrate leaves. Full double flowers produced in dense panicles, 

 pure white. Very sweet. $1.00 each; $10.00 per dozen. 



Dame Blanche. Small 

 double fringed flowers. 

 $5.00 per dozen.

 and carry large single flowers 3 inches wide. Pure white with a 

 bunch of yellow stamens. Small plants. 75c each. 



Glacier. Strong and erect stems, medium-sized ovate, serrate leaves. 

 Flowers double, clustered by six or seven, in erect and thickly set 

 panicles, each panicle being similar to one enormous double flower. 

 A very good sort. 75c each, $7.50 per dozen.

 flowers. 50c each, $5.00 per dozen.
