PHILADELPHUS (Mock Orange). The old Mock Oranges have been amazingly 

 glorified of late and after a five-year test, we are among the first in America to off"er 

 these vastly improved hybrids straight from the great French hybridizer, Lemoine. 

 For those who want them we have, in addition, the following varieties: Avalanche, 

 Coronarius, Manteau d'Hermine, and Splendens, but we describe and off'er here 

 only the very cream. Try the entire set. We guarantee you will be pleased. The 

 Mock Oranges grow to about 8 feet in height and bloom in June. 



P., Virginal. (Illustrated above.) This is one of the finest ornamental shrubs that we 

 have had to offer in a long time. The flowers are snow-white, large, crested, fragrant 

 and come in great quantities. The best feature of this variety is its constant bloom, 

 for, unlike other Philadelphus, it blooms throughout the season. Makes splendid 

 specimen plants. 



P., Argentine. Very large, double flowers, over 2 inches across, of regular form. Pure white. 



P., Bouquet Blanc. Large white flowers that almost smother the bush. 



P. brachybotrys. The best species introduced from China. Branches are covered with 

 large, fragrant flowers.
