Virginal ^he kush ^ rows 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.
