Improved Philadelphus 
(Mock Orange or Sweet Syringa) 
Wonderful improvements have been made in late years in 
that grand shrub, the Philadelphus; or, as it is better known 
to us, the Sweet Syringa or Mock Orange. 
More Philadelphus should be used in shrubbery plantings. 
They are one of our most satisfactory shrubs, and far surpass 
in beauty many of the shrubs more commonly used. Our 
stock contains all the newest sorts. 
PRICES 
Each variety in a strong 3-4 ft. size, 50c each, 
except Virginal 
BOUQUET BLANC. Flowers come in clusters; large, pure 
white. Very sweetly scented. One of the hardiest and most 
dependable bloomers. Extra choice. 
GLACIER. We consider this variety one of the very best of 
the newest sorts. The flowers are wonderfully attractive in 
appearance; double blooms are produced in large clusters of 
six to eight, of a rich cream color. 
MT. BLANC. A medium growing variety; wonderful as a 
hedge to grow on a line between lots. Flowers large, pure 
white, semi-double, produced in great profusion. 
NORMA. Next to Virginal probably the most beautiful of all 
the Philadelphus. Flowers of great size, single, with a very 
rich waxy appearance. 
OPHELIA. Long, arching branches, covered with great 
masses of large, glistening white flowers with white gold- 
tipped stamens. Very fragrant. 
VIRGINAL. Double. White. Everblooming. Every¬ 
thing considered, this is the most sensational of all 
the Philadelphus. In fact, we regard it the most valu¬ 
able acquisition to the flower garden of recent years. 
The bush is a moderately strong grower, with us at¬ 
taining a height of six to seven feet. Rather open, 
sparse foliage to make the wonderful blooms all the 
more conspicuous. Flowers pure white, double, often 
two inches in diameter. Begins to bloom about June 
15th with us, and blooms profusely for about three 
weeks. Then it rests a few weeks and starts to bloom 
again, continuing with a small amount of bloom until 
frost. 3 to 3J4 ft., 75c each; 2 for #1.40; 
6 for #3.75; 10 for #5.00. 
Oriental Poppies 
For real gorgeousness—something remindful of the warm, 
extravagant colors of the East—nothing in all the world of 
flowers can compare with the Oriental Poppy. Coming with 
the early peonies, they give the garden a touch no other 
flower can give. 
Because of last season’s terrible drought, which continued 
all through the winter, we suffered the loss of almost our, 
entire stock of Oriental Poppies. Only one variety sur-’ 
vived. Olympia came through in perfect condition, which 
goes to show that this variety is entirely dependable. 
OLYMPIA. A new semi-double Poppy; bright orange-scar¬ 
let. Ten days earlier than the .regular run of Oriental 
Poppies. Something new and a Poppy that we can cer¬ 
tainly recommend after its performance in coming 
through last winter as it did when all others died. 
Large roots, 75c each; 2 for $1.00, postpaid.
