Philadelphus Virginal 
ROSE ACACIA (Moss Locust). A beautiful shrub, perfectly hardy in 
Minnesota. Has light green leaves and long, graceful clusters of Sweet 
Pea-shaped rose colored flowers in June and on into July. Gives a 
wonderful effect. This past summer we saw Rose Acacia in both shrub 
and tree form growing in several cities in Minnesota. Irr all places the 
plants had come through the terrible winter unscathed and were just 
covered with beautiful bloom. We have Rose Acacia in both shrub 
and tree form. The tree form is grafted on nice 3 to 4 ft. straight 
stems which makes it a beautiful tree. We have a wonderfully nice 
stock of Rose Acacia for this spring.

PHILADELPHUS VIRGINAL 
Finest of all the Philadelphus

sensational of all the Philadelphus. In fact, we regard it as the most valuable 
new shrub acquisition to the flower garden of recent years. The bush is a 
moderately strong grower, with us attaining a height of 6 to 7 feet. Rather 
open, sparse foliage to make the wonderful blooms all the more conspicuous. 
Flowers pure white, semi-double, often 2 inches in diameter. Begins to bloom 
about June 15th with us, and blooms profusely tor about 3 weeks. Then 
it rests a few weeks and starts to bloom again, continuing with a small amount 
of bloom until frost. 18 tQ 24 i n<) 5 o C ; 3 for #1.00; 10 for #4.50
