The Weekly Florists^ Review* 



Septbmbkb 7, 1906. 



grafted on lilac seedlings or privet stock, 

 thus keeping them on one stem, in the 

 shape of small trees, and they are loaded 

 with flowers in their season. When 

 planted on the lawn they are eflfective 

 when in flower. They are nearly or quite 

 free from insect pests, and when planted 

 in good soil will live and flourish many 

 years. 



The following twelve varieties are all 

 good kinds and will be sure to give sat- 

 isfaction, and ar3 plentiful enough to 

 be readily obtainable: 



Single Whites. 



Fran Dammann, a splendid variety; 

 panicles of flowers very large; color pure 

 white; of medium size. Recommended 

 as one of the very best single whites. 



Marie Le Graye for the florist is a 

 valuable variety; the cluster of flowers 

 is large and pure white. ' it is invalua- 

 ble for forcing. 



Villosa is a very distinct variety, with 

 very large leaves and large clusters of 

 flowers. It is at present perhaps more 

 popular than any other lilac. Its flow- 

 ers are fragrant, and as it blooms later 

 than other kinds, it is much prized on 

 this account. The color in bud is rosy 

 pink, opening to white. Our friend C. S. 

 Harrison, of York, Neb., in a recent 

 article on lilacs, described it as purple. 



more so, perhaps, than any other lilac; 

 a distinct variety with immense panicles 

 of dark red flowers. We think it a 

 most desirable kind and it is appreciated 

 by all who see it. 



Double Whites. 



Abel Chatenay is a superb variety; 

 panicles large and of the purest white; 

 extra fine; one of th3 newer kinds. 



Mme. Casimir Perier is to our fancy 

 the grandest of all double whites; pani- 

 cles large and compact; flowers of pur- 

 est white; a fine variety for forcing. 



Mme. Lemoine is an older variety 

 than the two preceding and is better 

 known. It has received first prizes and 

 was highly recommended at the Paris 

 Exposition; flowers large, compact; 

 pure white; a sterling kind, sure to 

 please. 



Doubk in G>Iors. 



Leon Simon is a good grower, produc- 

 ing immense panicles of bluish crimson 

 flowers. The buds are bright red be- 

 fore opening. It is an extraordinary 

 variety, one of the best of double lilacs. 



Michel Buchner is a somewhat dwarf 

 variety; the panicle large and erect in 

 growth; very double; pale lilac in color; 

 very fine, distinct and desirable. 



President Gr^vy is tha best known of 

 the new double varieties. The panicle 



Syringa Villosa, the Tree Lilac. 



The photograph reproduced, however, in- 

 dicates that it is a white variety. 



Single Reds. 



Charles X. is a well tried, distinct 

 and desirable kind, of strong, quick 

 growth; leaves large and shining; pani- 

 cle of flowers large; color a deep red- 

 dish purple. 



Ludwig Spaeth is a strikingly distinct 

 Tariety, with long panicles of dark, pur- 

 plish red flowers; a superb kind, and we 

 think the finest of its color. 



Rothomagensis rubra, or Rouen varie- 

 ty, foliage like the Persian in shape and 

 appearance. This kind is very showy, 



of flowers is superb, a foot in length; 

 color a beautiful blue; the individual 

 flowers are large, three-quartars of an 

 inch in diameter. This is a great favor- 

 ite among lovers of lilacs who know the 

 varieties. John Chaei/pon. 



The American Pomological Society's 

 postponed meeting and exhibition will be 

 held at Kansas City September 19 to 21. 



The Rhus cotinus gives a fine foliage 

 effect, and is sure to attract attention 

 on any lawn. It is that form of the su- 

 mach known from its peculiar flower ef- 

 fect as the mist shrub or smofce tree. 



DATE OF EASTER. 



Easter of lfl06 falls on April 15, 

 eight days earlier than in 1905. 



CHRYSANTHEMUM SOCIETY. 



John N. May offers two special prizes, 

 $15 and $10, for the best twelve flow3rs 

 in four varieties, three of each, not less 

 than 30-inch stems; no artificial sup- 

 ports; open to private gardeners only.
