 bers of double, dull brownish pur-

 »nd leaves are also sweetly scented,

Persian Tree Lilac 



A neat, handsome growing little tree, growing 

 seren to eight feet high, with slender branches 

 and long narrow foliage; the flowers grow in im- 

 mtnse clusters, delightfully and deliciously 

 sweet and fragrant. It is perfectly hardy, a 

 vigorous grower and flowers abundantly with 

 little care and continues to bloom with a frag- 

 rance and beauty that is surpassed by no other 

 shrub. Nearly every one is fond of Lilac blos- 

 soms and with the revival of the old-fashioned 

 garden their popularity increases. A general 

 favorite for planting in the dooryard and lawn. 

 I offer nice strong plants.
