49944. Deutzia vilmorinae Lemoine and Bois. Hydrangeacese. 



A plant of vigorous growth with pure- white flowers, suggestive of some of 

 the smaller growing kinds of Philadelphus, a resemblance which is increased 

 by the lateness of its flowering period. It is a native of China. M. I.emoine, 

 of Nancy, has raised hybrids between this species and different forms of Deutzia 

 crenata or D. scabra, which flower at about the same time and thus usually 

 escape injury from late spring frosts which often damage the flowers of the 

 earlier kinds. As the parents of these are among the most desirable of our 

 early-flowering shrubs and valuable from the fact that many spring-flowering 

 subjects are over before their blossoms develop, these newer hybrids should 

 prove good acquisitions. (Adapted from Gardening Illustrated, vol. 39, p. 362.)
