Syringa: The Lilacs 



THE Lilac, among shrubs, is like the Maple among trees, "The most common and most indispen- 

 sable." They bloom with a fragrance and beauty that are surpassed by no other shrub. With the 

 revival of old-fashioned gardens their popularity increases. The collection we ofifer embraces tall 

 and low growing shrubs — kinds that will give a succession of bloom for several weeks.
