PHILADELPHIA [Mock Orange] 
One of the best shrubs, the taller growing sorts largely used 
for hedges. The flowers are very profuse, similar to strawberry 
blossoms but larger, white with usual creamy tinge and prom¬ 
inent yellow stamens; mostly fragrant. 
Aureus (Golden Syringa). Valuable for contrastive grouping, 
the best medium golden leaved shrub. |Each| 3

Bouquet Blanc. Close set bunches of double flowers ; each 
branch a veritable bouquet; one of the best types for me¬ 
dium height hedges, corresponding in effect with the well 
known utility of Spirea Van Houttei. 
Coronarius. Blooms in May, in very graceful sprays; tall, 
slightly scented. This variety is most used for backgrounds 
and hedges requiring screening height. 
Glacier. The flowers are double, snow white, produced in 
thick clusters of eight or more, giving the effect of one 
enormous double flower. Medium height, suitable for the 
front row of shrub groups. 
Lemoinei erectus. Erect, fine leaved, slender stemmed, about 
4 to 5 feet high. Creamy white flowers in June, with a dis¬ 
tinct permeating fragrance. Good either for foreground or 
interior of a medium group. 
Norma. The single flowers are of great individual size, strung 
freely along full length of upright stems ; white with pale 
gold stamens. This is the most slender of 
the group, corresponding in effect to the 
Flowering Cherry Amanogawa among the 
trees. 
Virginal The bosh grows moderately tall, 
° with good foliage and compact 
habit. The flowers are the largest, hand¬ 
somest, most sweetly fragrant, and with 
longest blooming season, of any known va¬ 
riety. You will now find it occupying more 
corners in front of porches and house foun¬ 
dations than any other shrub; its character, 
persistent bloom and exquisite scent adapt¬ 
ing it to that purpose. An interesting 
feature is that there may be single, semi¬ 
double and fully double florets on the same 
panicle. Also, after the first grand floral 
display, the bush is seldom thereafter with¬ 
out some show of bloom.
