HARDY SHRUBS 



Syringa— Li7ac (M)

 much appreciated today as they were 

 when the old-fashioned garden was 

 grandmother's pride. The fragrance of 

 their showy flower trusses is one of the 

 most delicate and pleasing. The fact that 

 the plants improve with age is a feature of 

 greatest importance. In addition to the
