New Hybrid Philadelphia 
The great French hybridizer Lemoine has produced a new race of Phila- 
delphus commonly known as Syringa or Mock Orange that are the most 
valuable introduction in shrubs in twenty-five years. Not only are the 
flowers wonderfully improved but they are produced in marvelous profusion 
and the smallest and youngest plants are covered with flowers. Nothing has 
ever attracted more attention and admiration in our trial grounds where 
they have been thoroughly tested. 
“Mer de Glace” (Sea of Ice), Undoubtedly one of the most beautiful 
shrubs introduced for many years. Everyone is familiar with so-called 
Syringa or Mock Orange but Lemoine, the great French hybridizer, has 
improved this old shrub wonderfully. The flowers are globular semi- 
double, of a glistening pure white and deliciously sweet-scented. It would 
be impossible for a shrub to bear more flowers and the smallest plants are 
covered. People who have seen it in our trial grounds have been de- 
lighted with this exquisite shrub. $1.50 each. 
Albatre. An extremely floriferous shrub in the way of the beautiful variety 
“Mer de Glace,” slender branches furnished with middle-sized serrate 
leaves. Full double flowers produced in dense panicles, pure white. Very 
sweet. $1.00 each. 
Dame Blanche. Small foliage, upright branches set with semi-double 
fringed flowers. Cream-white, very fragrant. $1.00 each. 
Favorite. The large erect branches are furnished with waxed leaves and 
carry large single flowers 3 inches wide. Pure white with a bunch of yel- 
low stamens. Small plants. $1.00 each. 
Glacier. Strong and erect stems, medium-sized ovate, serrate leaves. 
Flowers double, clustered by six or seven, in erect and thickly set panicles, 
each panicle being similar to one enormous double flower. A very good 
sort. 75c. each. 
Mont Blanc. Upright branches, panicles of numerous sweet-scented 
flowers. 75c each. 
Virginal. A vigorous and tall shrub. Flowers in dense clusters, large and 
double, pure white. A grand sight. $1.00 each. 
Magdalena. Medium sized flowers; pure white. Very desirable. $1.00 
each. 
Owing to the great demand we have nothing but small plants left of these 
splendid shrubs, but the smallest plants bloom profusely. 
Pompon Chrysanthemums 
These are the small-flowered Chrysanthemums of the old-fashioned gardens, 
and bloom in October and November after almost all flowers are gone. They 
are showy in the garden and effective as cut flowers and being perfectly hardy 
and of easiest culture, can be successfully grown in any garden. We offer a 
fine collection of the best varieties, ranging from white to deep crimson.
