our attention in spring. Syringa vulgaris (the common 
lilac) is effective in masses of shrubbery and is often

immediately after blossoming. Syringa alba grandiflora 
has very large clusters of pure white flowers. Syringa 
Churles X produces magnificent clusters of reddish-purple 
flowers in great profusion. Syringa Louis van Houtte 
has large clusters of bright-red flowers. Syringa Marie

varieties named are easily grown as individual plants 
on the lawn.
