VIRGINAL — One of the most beautiful new ever-blooming va- 

 rieties. This is the new Philadelphus which is being used so 

 much in hedge planting. It also makes wonderful individual 

 specimen plants on the lawn. A vigorous, tall grower with very 

 large double-crested flowars, with round petals. Pure white, 

 sweetly scented; clusters of five to seven. We cannot say 

 enough in praise of this wonderful shrub. The photograph does 

 not do it justice because it does not put the delightful orange 

 blossom fragrance into the picture, and this fragrance permeates 

 the whole neighborhood. People drive miles to see this hedge 

 when in bloom. Price, 30 oents each; 3 for 79 cents; 12 for 

 $2.89. Larger plants, 50 cents each ; 3 for $1 .39; 12 for $5.29.
