*PHILADELPHUS, Mock Orange 



Belle Etoile (new). The milky-white flowers 

 are most unusual in that they have a con- 

 spicuous light purple blotch in the center. 

 For fragrance, very little more can be asked 

 than the perfume wafted through the garden 

 by this lovely bush. It's a vigorous but 

 neatly growing shrub, develops with age 

 into a good-looking plant of about 5 feet in 

 height. It is one of our last importations from France, and a few years ago received 

 the Award of Merit from the Royal Horticultural Society. Price, $2.00 each; $20.00 doz. 



Innocence (new). The long, arching branches carry a wealth of large, single alabaster 

 white flowers. So heavily loaded with flowers are the slender branches as to assume 

 the appearance of sheaves of bloom. They are of such purity of whiteness as to make 

 all other Mock Oranges seem gray by comparison. The fragrance is delightful, more 

 delicate, yet more penetrating than that of Jasmine. A "must" in every garden. Ultimate 

 height about 6 feet. Price, $2.00 each; $20.00 doz.
