LILAC (Syringa) 



Nearly everyone is fond of Lilac Blossoms. Their sweet 

 fragrance comes with the first breath of Spring, and their deli- 

 cate colors of blue and white seem like a legacy from our Grand- 

 mothers ' gardens. They bloom in May, and grow to 8 or 10 

 feet in height. 



Old-Fashioned or Common Lilac (S. Vulgaris) — Strong, vigor- 

 ous upright growth, with rich dark green foliage, and large 

 panicles of fragrant purple flowers. 



Standard White Lilac (S. Vulgaris Alba)- 



but with pure white fragrant flowers. 



-Same habit of growth 



Persian Lilac, Purple (S. Persica, 7 to 8 feet.) — A neat handsome- 

 growing little tree with slender branches and long, narrow 

 foliage, and a great favorite for planting in door-yard and 

 lawn. Blooms early in the Spring; the flowers grow in 

 immense clusters; deep rich purple, and deliciously sweet. 



Persian Lilac, White (S. Persica Alba) — Similar to the purple, 

 but pure white and very fragrant.

The Magnolias as a class are valuable trees. Their broad 

 leaves, large, showy flowers, and perfect hardiness make them 

 desirable in many ways. This variety is one of the best and 

 most widely known. It is shrubby and branching, while young, 

 but later becomes a fair-sized tree. In April or May, and before 

 the leaves appear, it bears large cup-shaped flowers 5 inches in 

 diameter; pure white with a deep pink center. Foliage, large, 

 glossy and massive. Price, 2\ to 3 ft. size, each $1.00 and $1.25.
