SYRINGA . Uac 



The Lilac is one of the old garden favorites 

 lat will ever be popular. Hardiness, attractive 

 -Qwth, and an abundance of sweet-scented 

 inicles of bloom are qualities that have estab- 

 ihed it as an inseparable part of the hardy 

 irub border or dooryard planting. The common 

 lacs are vigorous in growth, attaining a height 

 12 to 15 feet. The named varieties are, 

 •rhaps. more dwarf in habit and, therefore, 

 ore valuable for planting where space is 

 ttited; quite as hardy as the type.
