Japan Lilac (S. japonica). — The largest of the lilacs,

 and the very large panicles of white flowers are produced in 

 June. It has thus far proved perfectly hardy and is desirable.

Josikea^s Lilac (.S". Josikcea). — Another tree-like lilac,

Downy Lilac (L. villosa). — A new species of a some- 

 what tree-like habit, with fragrant light purple flowers 

 which change to almost white.
