PHILADELPHUS. Syringa or Mock Orange 



The Syringa is an invaluable shrub. Of vig-orous habit, verj' hardy, with larg:e handsome foliage, and beautiful white 

 flowers, produced in the greatest profusion at the blossoming season, it merits a prominent place in all collections of shrub- 

 bery. Most of the varieties, except those of dwarf habit, form large sized shrubs, twelve to fifteen feet high. They can of 

 course be kept smaller by pruning. The dwarf sorts are such pretty, compact plants as to be verj' useful where small 

 shrubs are desired. All of the varieties flower in June, after the Weigela. By planting the late flowering sorts, the season 

 may be considerably extended.
