Shrubs, continued 

Virginal Mock Orange (Page 8) 
Mock Orange, Virginal; Philadelphus virginalis 
The delightfully fragrant white flowers are semi-double, 
sometimes single, large, 142 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.

Spirae Anthony Waterer (rosy-crimson), an excellent dwarf 
blooming shrub (Page 9) 

Privet, Regel; Ligustrum ibota Regelianum 
Excellent for its foliage effect. A rather low shrub with 
almost horizontal branches, drooping at the tips; foliage dark 
green, arranged horizontally. Flowers like tiny white lilacs; 
in latter May; blue-black berries. A good foundation plant.

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% 
inches across, a scarlet so brilliant it is also called burning bush. 
Its dense foliage is a shining dark green, in autumn bronzy-red. 
Fruit yellowish-green 1% 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 
after blooming.

Quince, Flowering or Japan 
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.
