Philadelphus, Virginal. 
SPIREA 
Van Houtte 
An old hut deservedly popular shrub, 
It has a myriad uses and is perfect in 
every one. One of the hardiest and eas¬ 
iest to grow of all shrubs. It is ideal for 
a specimen plant, in the foundation 
planting, as a screen or hedge, either 
trimmed or untrimmed. Beautiful at any 
time with its healthy, tiny leaves, but 
magnificent beyond description when 
completely enveloped with its long 
drooping sprays of tiny, pure white 
flowers in May and June. 
PHILADELPHUS 
Virginal 
(Virginal Mock Or¬ 
ange). Truly magnificent, 
and generally conceded the 
finest of all the Mock Or¬ 
anges. The bush is hand¬ 
some in shape, foliage good. 
The extra large white flow¬ 
ers come five to seven in a 
cluster, some single, some 
semi-double and some full 
double. Exceptionally long 
blooming season, almost an 
everbloomer. 
PHILADELPHUS 
coronarius 
This tall, vigorous shrub 
is invaluable as a screen or 
background. In May and 
June it has white, waxy 
blooms of delicious fra¬ 
grance. One of the most 
useful of all tall shrubs. 
Philadelphus Coronarius. 
Spirea Froebeli. 
SPIREA 
Froebeli 
A fine dwarf shrub. Large, flat 
heads of bright rose-red flowers in 
May and June. Fine foliage, par- 
ticularl)'^ striking in spring and fall 
when it is an attractively reddish 
purple color. 
SPIREA 
Billiardi 
Very distinct in appearance with 
its long, pointed spikes of rose- 
pink flowers from July to Septem¬ 
ber. Of medium height and useful 
in border or foundation planting 
for late summer bloom.
