LILAC CULTURE IN GERMANY. 



The raising of lilac plants for forc- 

 ig from autumn till late spring has not 

 aught on in England as has been the 

 ;ise for twenty years in Germany, and 

 e mostly draw out supplies, as did the 

 ■ermans formerly, from France. I 

 'uch doubt if the latter do so to any 

 leat extent, at the present day, partly 

 >r patriotic reasons, and partly because 



has been found that as good material 

 •in be grown in their own country as 

 1 France, while money is kept at home 

 nd employment found for the laboring 

 'asses. One of the largest growers, if 

 >'t the very largest, is Herr F, Sinai, 

 f Frankfort-on-the-Main, who has 150 

 lorgen of land, three-fourths of which 



is under lilac. In 1891 he had twenty 

 morgen of land devoted to this crop. 

 His chief lilac for forcing (he sells but 

 few plants) consists of seedlings, select- 

 ing these by reason of such peculiarities 

 of growth as promise by further culti- 

 vation to show valuable features; a 

 method that has resulted in a number 

 of seedlings being raised widely supe- 

 rior to well-esteemed varieties. Besides 

 the seedlings which he raises annually, 

 there are the best of the trade varieties, 

 as Charles X., Marie Legraye, Andenken 

 an L. Spath, Michel, Buchner, Mme. Le- 

 moine, etc., which are grown for forc- 

 ing purposes, and a number of the 

 Marly lilacs, which in less than four 

 years in the nursery set a good number 



of flower-buds. These lilacs are grown 

 from suckers, not budded or grafted, and 

 they flower well in balls, and thus save 

 the expensive potting Avork. Herr Sinai 

 forces 108,000 lilac plants in all, but 

 the demand is not great before Christ- 

 mas. The plants for that season are 

 placed in the forcing houses on Novem- 

 ber 27, and these consist entirely of un- 

 prepared plants. — Gardeners ' Chronicle. 



Faibbury, III. — Alex Milne is prepar- 

 ing to erect two new greenhouses and will 

 commence at once, so they may be com- 

 pleted by August. One of the buildings 

 will be 30x58 and the other 28x68. They 

 will be devoted to the growing of car- 

 nations. Mr. Milne built one new house 

 last year.
