SYRINGA MICROPHYLLA SUPERBA 
A new variety 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. See Lilac page 27. 
GINKGO PYRAMIDALIS 
The variety named Pyramidalis may be in leading branches so close to- 
gether as to make it impossible to thrust ones fingers between them. This is 
certainly one of the best pyramidal trees grown. The variety Autumn Gold 
has been selected and so named for its brilliant gold color in the autumn. 
The Mascula or male is a broader growing type minus the fruiting which 
is so objectionable. See page 17. 
THE RARE FRANKLINIA 
Here is a plant that just keeps growing in popularity. To see the bloom 
and fall foliage makes one want it in his own garden. This is one of our 
very best sellers. Good for bloom and foliage effect. 
Azaleas will grow in full sun or in shade. In the sun you will have 
brighter colors and growth will be shorter. We prefer a little shade if con- 
venient. The small pot-grown plants should be planted about ten or twelve 
inches apart in a prepared bed consisting of about equal parts of good acid 
soil and peat moss or rotten leaf-mold, with about one-half shade. 
Azaleas like acid soil with plenty of peat moss or leaf-mold in it. As a 
fertilizer rotten cow manure, cotton-seed meal and tankage are good. Use 
this in early spring and keep well mulched with peat moss or leaf-mold and 
keep the plants well watered during dry weather. 
For scale and red spider use Volck, one to fifty. 
If your soil is not acid enough we suggest you use Aluminum Sulphate 
or Sulphur.
