PHILADELPHUS. 



PliiladelpliuH coroiiariiis (Sweet-Scent- 

 ed Svringa or Mock Orange). -a hardy shrub of 

 rounded form and luxuriant foliage, with masses of 

 pure white, intensely fragrant flowers in June. This 

 is one of the first to bloom and deserves a prominent 

 place in all collections. 1 .>c; 2 to 3 ft. 25c; 3 to 

 4 ft. 35c. 



Pliiladelplius coroiiarius fl. pi. (Dou- 

 ble Mock Orange).- a double-flowering variety of 

 the popular Mock Orange, and a yet finer shrub. 

 This shrub is of recent introduction and being even, 

 more fragrant than its parent, the Sweet-scented 

 Syrlnga, and as double as a rose, it is a choice and 

 very desirable addition. 20c; 2 to 3 ft. 35c. 



Pliiladelpltus coronarious aureus 

 (Golden-leaved Syringa).— Destined to become 



even more popular than the now celebrated Hydran- 

 gea paniculata grandiflora owing to its super- 

 lative value either for grouping or as a single speci- 

 men. The habit of the plant Is compact and rather 

 dwarf, forming a solid mass, without pruning, as 

 shown in the illustration. The foliage, which Is of 

 good form and very dense, is of an exquisite, bright, 

 charming golden-yellow throughout the season. 

 Brighter than Golden Bedder, Cloth of Gold or any 

 other coleus we have seen: and the best of all is that 

 It stands the sun perfectly; not burning in the least 

 but becoming brighter the more it is exposed to heat 

 and sun. It is also entirely hardy without protec- 

 tion. For grouping with other shrubbery, especially 

 those with foliage of purple or other decided color, 

 or for forming solid masses. Its value can scarcely 

 be over-estimated. It transplants easily and should 

 be iucluded In all collections.' 2 yrs., 20c; 9 to 

 12 In. 25c; 12 to 18 in. 35c. 



PliiladelpUus grandiflora (Large Flow- 

 ering Syringa).- A large, spreading shrub of rather

 white, showy flowers in great profusion in June.
