Lonicera - Honeysuckle 
Lonicera fragrantissima. Fragrant Bush Honey¬ 
suckle. (F.) 7 to 10 feet. So called because 
of its very fragrant white blossoms in April. 
The foliage is deep green and glossy. Grows 
well in partial shade, in adverse soil, or in 
cities where tender plants fail. Because of 
its nearly evergreen habit it is largely used 
for hedges. Without doubt, one of the best 
plants for landscape betterment.

Smaller, pinkish flowers, better fruit, and 
holds its leaves longer than Maacki. Vig¬

Everyone Should 
Grow This 
Mock Orange 
Philadelphus virginal. Virginal 
Mock Orange. 7 to 9 feet. 
The finest of all the Mock Or¬ 
anges. While it produces flow¬ 
ers intermittently throughout 
the growing season, its great¬ 
est value lies in its magnifi¬ 
cent spring display. The pure 
white, fragrant flowers are 
amazingly large, often two 
inches across, are semi-dou¬ 
ble, and borne in such profu¬ 
sion that the branches are 
weighted down. The plant is 
an erect and vigorous grower. 
No one should be without this 
delightful shrub—the best of 
the Mock Oranges.

Photinia 
Photinia villosa. Red-berried Photinia. 10 to 
12 feet. An unusual shrub, not often avail¬ 
able. It has deep green, glossy foliage and 
is of dense, branching habit. The foliage 
colors brilliantly in the fall, and the small 
flowers, produced in June, are followed by 
attractive red berries that hang on until 
taken by birds. Each Five

Philadelphus - Mock Orange 
Philadelphus coronarius. (F.) 6 to 8 feet. The 
old-fashioned Mock Orange, often called 
"Syringa." Well known to everyone because 
of its waxy white, fragrant flowers in June; 
is a good plant for every use, the foliage 
being large, oval, and deep green. Pruning 
will keep the bush confined where it is not 
desirable to have it grow too tall. Valuable 
for background screen or grouping.
