^ Lutece and Villosa are very rapid growing 

 varieties and when given the liberal culture they 

 require and deserve they will soon develop into the 

 mo^ radiantly graceful and di^inguished speci- 

 mens. Cut away all the faded flower sprays before 

 seed forming commences, and always keep to a 

 graceful form by delicate pruning. In early Spring 

 the lime (about a quart to four square feet) which 

 all lilacs love should be given. And with intelligent 

 planting and conscientious care we too may have 

 great and di^inguished specimens.
