and green planting with such plants 

 as could hold their own with this greedy ^ 

 white beauty. 

 Philadelphus (mock orange) was the brave 

 family chosen— only the rarest and latest hybrids 

 Philadelphus "Norma," was planted at a central 

 point, because she would grow ten feet tall and 

 because her branches are erect and bold. Then 

 came Bauniere, also tall, producing semi- double 

 flowers, then grouping and spacing for natural 

 development came Conquete (not Coquette), 

 with double flowers exactly like a white tulip. 

 Conquete is rather pendulous and arching, which 

 made her particularly desirable next the bolder 

 group. Last came Boule d' Argent, a dwarf 

 Philadelphus. Spaces three feet wide were pro- 

 vided for Frau Karl Druschki and holes deep 

 and wide were dug, and lime was used liberally. 

 There was not a day throughout the entire Sum- 

 mer and Autumn that buds and opening flowers 

 were not cut from these Druschki rose bushes. 

 The spaces between and in front of them were 

 planted with white verbenas, which crept in and 

 out and even rested against the canes of the 

 Druschkis. 



While all the Philadelphus are attractive,
