Seringat, Fr. 



The Syringa is an invaluable shrub. Of vigorous habit, verj' hardy, with large handsome foliage, and 

 beautiful white flowers, produced in the greatest profusion at the blossoming season, it merits a prominent 

 place in all collections of shrubbery-. Most of the varieties, except those of dwarf habit, form large sized 

 shrubs, twelve to fifteen feet high. They can of course be kept smaller by pruning. The dwarf sorts do not 

 yield many flowers, but are such pretty, compact plants as to be very useful where small shrubs are desired. 

 All of the varieties flower in June, after the Weigela. By planting the late flowering sorts, the season may 

 be considerably extended.
