LILACS, MOCK ORANGES, SNOWBALLS, ETC. 
LILAC (Syringa) 
Nearly every one is fond of Lilac blossoms. Their sweet fragrance comes with 
the first breath of spring, and their delicate colors of blue and white seem like a 
legacy from our grandmother’s garden. Still popular. They bloom in May, 
and grow to 8 or 10 feet in height. 
Old-Fashioned or Common Lilac (S. vulgaris). Strong, vigorous, upright 
growth; rich, dark green foliage and large panicles of fragrant purple flowers. 
Standard White Lilac (S. vulgaris alba). Same habit of growth as above, but 
with pure white, fragrant flowers. 
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 dooryard 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.
