logues as Syringa vulgaris azurea plena. 

 The flowers of this variety not only 

 were diminutive, but were formed of 

 numerous, almost microseopically small 

 petals, and were further described as 

 "without stamens and with a pistil 

 covered ])y tlie lobes of the interior 

 petals, malformed and sterile." Poor 

 things they were, surely, but the best 

 obtainable for the object in view. 



As Lemoine 's eyesight was not keen 

 enough to serve his keen intellect as 

 fully as was desirable in the cross-pol- 

 lination of these tiny and imperfect 

 flowers, lie called liis wife to his as- 

 sistance and she attended to some of 

 the most minute and critical details of 

 the operation, under lier husband's di- 

 rection. She continued this work for 

 many years and then lier son, Kmile, 

 gradually took her place. Thus the 

 honor really is shared by three mem- 

 bers of the family. 



First Tokens of Success. 



From more than 100 flowers crossed 

 in the first year, only seven seeds were 

 obtained, and not until 1876 were the 

 Lemoines encour.-iged by any unmis- 

 takable tokens of success. Then three 

 bushes bloomed, and one of these, whidi 

 bore small, fragrant, double, lilac-blue 

 flowers, was named Syringa liybrida 

 hyacinthiflora jdena. It was a hybrid 

 of the original S. azurea plena and S. 

 oblata. Though not now in commerce, 

 it deserves ])articular notice as being 

 one of the ancestors of many fine modern 

 varieties. Next year S. Lemoine 

 flowered. In 1881 and 1882 Lemoine 

 offered several new sorts, including 

 Matl ieu de Dombasle, a double mauve
