trate Wrigley on charges brought by 

 James Doyle. The florist alleged that 

 March 29 Miles secured $10 worth of 

 flowers, which he said were to be used 

 at a reception given to the pastor of 

 Old St. George's Chapel. When the 

 florist tried to collect his bill he found 

 that no one at the church knew Miles 

 and that, of course, the flowers had not 

 been delivered. 



THE BEST LILACS. 



Flowering shrubs ^re enjoying a 

 marked advance in favor and not least 

 popular in the list is the lilac; in fact, 

 wherever the better sorts, for which 

 credit is mostly due the French, are 

 seen, they always create a demand for 

 stock. An English writer gives the fol- 

 lowing sorts as all being excellent: 



Among the white double-flowered va- 

 vieties we have now several to choose 

 from, Mme. Abel Chatenay is one of 

 the best; it has immense spikes of pure 

 white blossoms. Mme. Lemoine is an 

 extra good variety, giving huge panicles 

 of pure white flowers; this is a good va- 

 riety for growing in pots. Mme. Cas- 

 imir Perrier is newer than the preceding, 

 and is in every way a charming variety. 

 Of varieties of more recent introduction 

 Miss Ellen Willmott is one of the finest, 

 giving large trusses of snowy white- 

 ness. Jeanne d'Arc is another of quite 

 recent introduction. Taglioni, porcelain 

 white; Banquise, and Mme. de Miller 

 are also quite new. The latter is a 

 dwarf-growing variety. 



Of the double-flowered colored sorts 

 the following are desirable: Alphonse 

 Lavallee, large panicles, blue, shaded 

 violet; Charles Joly, dark purple, the 

 finest of dark colors; Countess Horace 

 de Choiseul, creamy white, shaded rose ; 

 Comte de Kerchove, rose, free; Doyen 

 Keteleer, pale rosy-lilac, large spike; 

 Emile Lemoine, flowers large, panicles 

 of fine globular form, color lilac; La 

 Tour d'Auvergne, flowers double and 

 large violet-purple; Mme. Jules Finger, 

 satiny-rose, fragrant; Souvenir de L. 

 Thibaut, light red, reverse of petals 

 white; President Camot, large panicles, 

 pale lilac; Leon Simon, coral buds, 

 changing to blue; Condorcet, large 

 spikes, blue; Mary Micheli, clear lilac- 

 blue; Benoncule, pale mauve; Michael 

 Buchner, pale lilac with pink margin; 

 President Grevy, cobalt blue with rosy 

 edging. 



Among quite new double varieties Dr. 

 Troyanowsky has enormous flowers, blue, 

 changing to azure. President Loubet, 

 deep purple red, buds carmine, is one of 

 the darkest. Maurice de Vilmorin has 

 large flowers, blue with a white eye. 

 Waldeck Rousseau has extra large flow-
