The Most Fragrant Mock Orange 
PHILADELPHUS 
[Mock Orange] 
One of the best shrubs, the taller growing sorts largely used 
for hedges. The flowers are very profuse, similar to strawberry 
blossoms but larger, white with usual creamy tinge and prom¬ 
inent yellow stamens ; mostly fragrant. 
Aureus (Golden Syringa). Valuable for contrastive grouping, 
the best medium golden leaved shrub. |Each| 3_

Bouquet Blanc. Close set bunches of double flowers ; each 
branch a veritable bouquet; one of the best types for me¬ 
dium height hedges, corresponding in effect with the well- 
known utility of Spirea Van Houttei. 
iy 2 to 2 feet, 40c each; 3 for $1.10. 
Banniere. Tall, branching, very early. Large, semi-double, 
snow-white flowers in profusion. 
Coronarius. Blooms in May, in very graceful sprays; tall, 
slightly scented. This variety is most used for backgrounds 
and hedges requiring screening height. 
Norma. The single flowers are of great individual size, strung 
freely along full length of upright stems ; white with pale 
gold stamens. This is the most slender of the group, corre¬ 
sponding in effect to the Flowering Cherry Ama-no-gawa 
among the trees. 
Ophelia. Very fragrant, crinkly, mostly 
double flowers; flesh-white with white 
gold stamens. Medium.

Virginal The bush grows 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 
variety. You will now find it occupying 
more corners in front of porches and 
house foundations than any other shrub ; 
its character, persistent bloom and ex¬ 
quisite scent adapting 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 without some show of 
bloom.
