PHILADELPHUS, VIRGINAL

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.

about June 15th with us, and blooms profusely for about three weeks. Then 
it rests a few weeks and starts to bloom again, continuing with a small amount
