Philadelphia (Mock Orange) 
The old, sweet-scented Pbiladelpbus 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 accomplished 
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; 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 Philadelpnus is second in importance only to tnat of the lilacs.
