Varieties of Syringa Vulgaris 

 Single and Double 



For years we have been collecting from various sources the 

 best Lilacs, and take pleasure in now offering a selection em- 

 bracing the best varieties knovi'n. We have imported annu- 

 ally the introductions of the celebrated French raiser, Mr. 

 Lemoine, and have in stock the cream of his offerings. 



The improvement in the Lilac, especially in the double 

 sorts, during the last ten years is marvelous, and all lovers of 

 this flower will be delighted with these novelties. In size, 

 form and color they far surpass the old favorites and we con- 

 fidently recommend them to our patrons. Nothing that has 

 been introduced recently is likely to prove so popular as these 

 Lilacs.
