the remaining species have as yet afforded very few varieties, and these 
generally not very marked ones. Thus, I think, there remains much to 
be done in this direction. 
The beautiful Bretschneider Lilac, the natural seeds of which had 
hitherto yielded only flowers uniformly pink—a pink more or less pale or
