SYRINGA MICROPHYLLA SUPERBA 



A new \'ariety of Syringa microphylla named superba, is said to flower 

 again in early Fall, but primarily it is Spring-flowering. The flowers have 

 the same fragrance as the Daphine, which gives it the popular name Daphne 

 Lilac. 



Syringa microphylla, itself, is distinctive for its very small leaves, less than 

 an inch in length, and quite orbicular. The species is called Littleleaf Lilac. 

 This is a small shrub, 4 to 5 feet in height. The plant is graceful, with 

 slender stems. The flowers are in loose trusses, with main ones at the top of 

 stems, and smaller ones along the branches. The entire plant in flower is 

 like a huge bouquet, pleasing and novel. They bloom a little later than the 

 popular hybrids, at the end of May, or in June, and are highly rated by 

 the authorities. Red in the bud, they open soft pink, and bloom freely. This 

 is a new hybrid, and not yet found in many nurseries.

SYRINGA PALIBINIANA 



_ This d\varf lilac from Korea must surely rank as one of the finest de- 

 ciduous rock garden shrubs to come to us from the Far East. 



Syringa palibiniana has much to commend it. Given a light, leafy soil 

 with good drainage and a sunny position it will thrive and take many years 

 to reach an ultimate height of about 3 ft. The sweetly-scented, pale mauve 

 sprays are produced abundantly in late spring, and it makes an ideal shrub 

 for pot cultivation in the alpine house. 



In spite of such virtues, S. palibiniana is still a comparative rarity in 

 gardens.
