Syringa. The Lilacs 



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

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

 of old-fashioned gardens their popularity increases. The beauty of these shrubs can be appreciate 

 by everyone because they are adapted to small lawns and equally suitable for large estates. They ar 

 among the most hardy of ornamental plants and can be depended upon to grow under a wider range 

 climate than many of our most beautiful shrubs. The collection we offer embraces tall and low-growir. 

 varieties — kinds that will give a succession of bloom for several weeks.
