Deutzia magnified and its forms represent 
hybrids between Deutzia scabra and D. Vil- 
morinae. Deutzia magnifica formosa, has 
double white flower panicles with petals some- 
what reflexed on branchlets 5 to 8 inches long. 
I his is very showy and floriferous, and would 
appear to be an excellent form for cut flower 
purposes. It flowers about June 21st. 
Deutzia magnifica insignis, bears strong 
marks of Deutzia Vilmorinae, one of the 
parents. The branches are slender and dark 
colored, with smallish leaves. The double 
white, broad flower panicles,' somewhat in- 
clined to be corymbose, on slender branchlets 
5 j inches long are very conspicuous. It 
blossoms about June 19th. 
Deutzia magnifica latiflora is a form with 
single large flowers on upright panicles. The 
pure white single blossoms are very attractive. 
The flowers on our plants however, do not 
attain the size the originators claim for them, 
as they state they are i§ inches across. Per- 
haps when the plants become better estab- 
lished, the inflorescence may improve. It 
blossoms about June 21st. 
Deutzia myriantha is a hybrid between 
Deutzia parviflora and Deutzia setchuenensis, 
as given by the Lemoines. Alfred Rehder 
places it as a hybrid between Deutzia Le- 
moinei and D. purpurascens. This is hardy 
with us, which surprises me, as one of the 
alleged parents, Deutzia setchuenensis will 
not stand our winters. Deutzia myriantha 
is a charming garden plant. 1 he large loose 
pure white flower cymes are produced on 
slender branchlets, and stand out prominently. 
It blossoms about June 21st. Forms a bush 
i\ to 3 ft. high. 
Deutzia myriantha Fleur de Pommier is a 
neat, upright branching shrub, producing 
numerous flowering branchlets four to six 
inches long, terminated by the showy rosy pink 
corymbose clusters. [Hence its varietal name 
signifying “ apple blossom ”]. A beautiful 
garden plant, and blossoms about May 30th. 
THE “ rosea” FAMILY GROUP 
The following Deutzias are all the resulting 
progeny of crossing Deutzia gracilis with 
Deutzia purpurascens. 
Deutzia rosea is a small growing shrub, with 
arching branches When in bloom the 
branches are thickly covered with pretty 
panicles of pink flowers, turning in a few days 
to deep rosy pink. This is a dainty flowering 
shrub and usually is in bloom about May 28th. 
It flowers about the same time as the common 
Deutzia gracilis. 
Deutzia rosea campanulata is one of the most 
charming of all Deutzias. It grows freely, 
and the long, graceful, arching branches 
covered with the panicles of campanulate, 
or bell-shaped, large white flowers, surrounded 
by reddish calyx lobes, combine to make it 
an extremely beautiful form. It usually is 
in blossom about May 30th. 1 his should 
be in the collection of any person who wanted, 
say six of the best Deutzias. 
Deutzia rosea carminea stands out promi- 
nently as a highly colored form in bloom. The 
habit is upright, and the panicles of deep rosy 
pink flowers, distinctly carmine red outside, 
give it a singular appearance. The young 
branches and branchlets are darkish red in 
color. It is usually in bloom about June 1st. 
Deutzia rosea eximia is a most superb form. 
The habit is inclined to be upright. The 
numerous flowering branchlets, 5 to 55 inches 
long are terminated by handsome flower 
panicles. The blossoms are f of one inch 
across, and are richly tinted with deep rosy 
D. Kalmiaeflora which has flowers somewhat like Mountain 
Laurel is the tenderest of all the hybrids. June 1 
broad corymbs of handsome white flowers 
whicharetinted outside and inside with pinkish 
red. It usually blossoms about June nth. 
This is a hybrid between Deutzia purpurascens 
and D. Sieboldiana, and is catalogued under 
the name of Deutzia discolor elegantissima. 
Deutzia Kalmiaeflora. As the name implies 
the flowers have a faint suggestion of Kalmia 
blossoms. They are produced in smallish 
corymbose clusters. The blossoms are rose 
tinted inside and strongly marked with car- 
mine outside. This is a very beautiful form 
and is a hybrid between Deutzia parviflora 
and D. purpurascens. We find this to be 
one of the most tender of the hybrids. It is 
apt to be injured in a very severe winter. 
It is usually in bloom about June 1st. 
Deutzia Lemoinei Boule de Neige is always 
very noticeable in bloom. I he numerous 
dense upright panicles of creamy white flowers 
stand out prominently. This is one of the 
progeny of Deutzia gracilis crossed with 
D. parviflora. It is very hardy, and blossoms 
usually about May 30th. 
D. rosea campanulata. “One of the most charming of all.” 
Bell shaped white flowers and reddish calyx. May 30 
D. rosea has pink flowers becoming rosy as they age. A 
small growing shrub that flowers May 28 
pink outside. It generally comes in flower 
about May 28th. 
Deutzia rosea grandiflora forms a bush ot 
considerable size, and is inclined to grow more 
vigorously than most of the hybrids. This 
was sent out by the Lemoines a number ol 
years since, and we have grown it for a good 
many years. The white flowers are almost 
one inch across, and beautifully rose tinted on 
the outside, and borne on numerous ample con- 
spicuous panicles. It flowers about May 30th. 
Deutzia rosea multiflora is distinct foi its 
abundant white flower panicles, which are 
thickly clustered together on compact small 
bushes. The blossoms are | of one inch across. 
It is in full bloom in normal seasons about 
May 28th. 
Deutzia rosea venusta is a form with remark- 
ably pure white flowers, and the individual 
blossoms about 15-16 of one inch across. The 
flowers are borne on large conspicuous panicles 
on fastigiate branches, which renders it very 
distinct amongst other Deutzias. It blossoms 
about May 28th. 
D. rosea grandiflora White flowers rose tinted on the out- 
side. Almost an inch across. A vigorous grower. May 30
