Virginal Mock Orange (Page 8) 
Mock Orange, Sweet Scented; Philadelphus coronarius 
The name is almost a description. The creamy-white 4-petaled 
fragrant flowers appear in clusters along the branches in May. 
It succeeds in sun or where shaded part of the day, and is ex- 
cellent for specimen plants, screens or backgrounds. Usually 
grows 5 to 6 ft. high, sometimes larger. Prune after blooming, 
removing weak and old branches to the ground.

Mock Orange, Virginal; Philadelphus virginalis 
The delightfully fragrant white flowers are semi-double, 
sometimes single, large, 144 to 2% in. across, and perhaps the 
most beautiful of the Mock Oranges, though the bush is not as 
uniform in growth as coronarius. Excellent as a cut flower, 
lasting well in water. Blooms in May and intermittently dur- 
ing summer; moderately tall.

Quince, Japan; Cydonia japonica 
Beautiful in latter March, just as the leaves begin to unfold, 
and extending into April, with its 5-petaled flowers 1 to 1%

Its dense foliage is a shining dark green, in autumn bronzy-red. 
Fruit yellowish-green 14% to 2 inches across, fragrant but not 
edible. Branches thorny; young plants are somewhat irregular 
in growth, becoming attractive with age. Plant in sun; prune

Snowball, Common; Viburnum opulus sterile 
The name snowball brings to mind the old bush in grand- 
mother’s garden, laden with snow-white flowers in globular 
clusters 3 to 4 in. across in early May. Leaves maple-like, 2 to 
4 in. long, bronzy-red in autumn. Grows 6 to 8 ft. high. 
Succeeds in sun or partial shade. Prune after blooming.

Spirea 
Their hardiness, thriftiness, profusion of bloom, graceful 
habit, neat foliage, and general freedom from serious insects and 
diseases render them justly popular. The early blooming Spireas, 
after the bush attains good size, should have some of the old 
wood removed to the ground each year immediately after bloom- 
ing. Prune the late blooming Spireas in early spring, before 
growth starts. When neglected for years it may be necessary to 
prune almost the entire plant to the ground in early spring. 
Spirea Anthony Waterer 
Rosy-crimson flowers in dense flat clusters cover the 3 ft. 
bush in early June. If the flowers are cut off as they fade it 
blooms at intervals until fall. Dwarf, compact, upright habit, 
with rather fine textured deep green foliage. Excellent for foun- 
dation and border plantings, and for massing in front of taller 
shrubs. Succeeds with sun half the day. Prune part of the old 
wood out each spring.
