Weigelas (Diervilla) 
Weigelas easily take high rank among the most popular flowering shrubs, covered as they are in May 
and early June by their large, trumpet-shaped flowers in various shades of white, blush, rose, crimson and 
dark maroon. 
The new Praecox varieties, introductions of Mr. Lemoine, are earlier-flowering, blooming most profusely 
in May, the whole plant entirely covered with unusually large blooms. Some of the varieties, like Eva 
Rathke, are perpetual bloomers throughout the entire summer. They are strong, vigorous growers, of up¬ 
right habit, attaining a height of 6 feet, and are perfectly hardy.

Philadelphus (Mock Orange) 
The old, sweet-scented Pbiladelphus coronarius, or Mock Orange, has long been a close rival of the 
lilac in popularity, and in the production of new varieties through hybridization. Mr. Lemoine has acconv 
plished almost as great results as he has done with the lilacs. 
There is great variation both in the habit of growth of the different varieties and in their form of bloom. 
There are many dwarf varieties, with slender, arching branches and small foliage; while others have very 
large foliage and vigorous, upright habit of growth, forming larger shrubs; but all are refined and beautiful, 
and the different species and varieties can be grouped together most effectively. 
At Highland Park and in the Arnold Arboretum, the collection of Philadelphus is second in importance 
only to that of the lilacs.
