Syringa  •  The  Lilacs 
"  The  Lilac  among  shrubs  is  like  the  maple  among  trees,  the  most  common  and  most  indispen- 
sable."   In  many  country  dooryards  the  neglected  Lilacs  continue  to  bloom  vvith  a  fragrance  and 
beauty  that  is  surpassed  by  no  other  shrub.    With  the  revival  of  old-fashioned  gardens,  their 
popularity  is  increasing ;  no  shrubbery  mass  is  complete  without  them.    They  are  hardy,  robust  plants 
that  do  well  and  ilower  abundantly  with  little  care.    The  large  collection  we  offer  embraces  tall-  and 
low-growing  shrubs,  kinds  that  will  give  a  succession  of  bloom  for  several  weeks.
