SYRINGA, (Lilac). For fragrance the old-fashioned Lilac holds first place in the 

 affections of many people. A suburban or country place without Lilacs misses one 

 of the joys of life. They had better be arranged at the back of the shrubbery groups, 

 although one or three Lilacs at the corner of the house with a big tree for shade is 

 all that is needed to make a picture.

 V. Coville, U. S. Botanist, Washington, D. C , about his varieties % in. in diameter. 

 See 15 acres at J. J. White, Inc., New Lisbon, N. J., and get catalog. Bud on 

 wild bushes and get fruit in two years. Help get 1000 acres on Long Island by 1930. 



Here we are offering the wild species in the best available form for your purpose. 

 In an aviation field, a large area was cut down four years ago and are now grown up 

 into big, broad, mature bushes that give you the broad, rounded outlines that can- 

 not be secured with ordinary young shrubs. To show how perfectly they blend with 

 the natural landscape see the entrance to the estate of Mr. Geo. W. Brewster between 

 Brookville and East Norwich. Mr. James L. Greenleaf, Landscape Architect, has 

 feathered down the woodland so naturally that you hardly know it was planted. 



In landscapes as on page 21, you can use them by the tens, hundreds or five 

 hundreds. Their Winter beauty is like that of an old White Oak, branches twisted 

 and sturdy, not being a bundle of whips like most shrubs. The Winter color is a ruddy, 

 cheerful glow with occasional yellow bark. Food and beauty and economy are com- 

 bined in the Blueberry, Beach Plum, Shad Bush and Hazelnut. Plants come up 

 with a great big ball of peat, so they are sure to grow. The best way would be to 

 have a truckload direct from the collecting field at any time of the year. You will 

 gain several years in obtaining mature beauty. Plants are so wide you can use 

 one-half or one-third as many as ordinary nursery shrubs.

3 ft. high 3.00 each, 27.50 per 10, 250.00 per 100
