12 Spring Flowering Shrubs 
+Late Lilac. Syringa villosa. 12 ft. (L.) A stoutly-branched shrub 
with bright green foliage like that of the White-Fringe tree. 
The flowers, which are borne in panicles, are light purple in 
bud, rosy white when open, and very fragrant. It is worth 
while for its shapely, good looking form and its late period of 
June flowering.

THE FRAGRANT HYBRID LILACS 
To those of us who are familiar with only the common white and 
purple Lilac of old dooryards, the hybrid varieties, which have 
come from the crossing of the common Lilac with other Lilac species, 
seem too splendid to be true. They bear huge trusses of single or 
double florets, many intensely fragrant. Each

MOCKORANGE 
The Mockorange or Sweet Syringa has been a familiar plant in 
gardens for many years, the newer hybrids only intensifying the 
fragrance and beauty of the older varieties. They vary in habit 
from low, arching bushes to lofty, upright shrubs, but all bear 
glistening white flowers with a delicious fragrance. 
+Sweet Mockorange. Philadelphus coronarius. 10 ft. (L.) This tall- 
growing shrub with upright branches has a great profusion 
of pure white, delightfully fragrant flowers in June, and hand- 
some dark green foliage. It makes a tall hedge even in partially 
shady places; a group of them is fine in the mixed shrub border 
or an individual plant is showy as a specimen. Each 10

do not hesitate to recommend this variety to everyone.

SPIREA 
A vast and important family of extraordinarily beautiful shrubs. 
All have great charm of foliage and the profusion of flowers they 
produce is remarkable. The Spireas fall into two main groups: (1) 
medium and large sorts with white flowers, ranging from April to 
July; (2) dwarf sorts with red, pink, or white flowers in July and 
August. The spring flowers are borne all along the branches. The 
spring-flowering sorts thrive in all soils; the summer-bloomers like 
lime. See Summer Flowering Shrubs. 
+Bridal Wreath. Spirea Van Houttei. 8 ft. (L.) Van Houttei Spirea 
is the variety commonly called Bridal Wreath, and is much 
superior to the true Bridal Wreath, S. prunifolia. Its gracefully 
arching branches are covered at Memorial Day with large clus 
ters of beautiful white flowers. Even when not in flower, its hand- 
some, blue-green foliage makes it very desirable either as a 
specimen in the shrub border or in an informal, unclipped
