Syringa - The Lilacs 
This old and time-tried shrub is still among the popular ones and its fra¬ 
grance Alls the air in spring from many a planting. There is no better shrub 
for a tall screen, and as insects rarely trouble the plants, the foliage remains a 
rich green from early spring to very late in the fall. The French hybridizers 
have evolved a number of new and very fine named sorts in varied shades suit¬ 
able for specimens as well as mass planting and below we list the best of 
these as well as the old standard kinds. 
SYRINGA josikaea (Hungarian Lilac). A distinct late-blooming type growing 
8 to 12 feet. Valued for the lateness of its flowers, which are light violet in 
color and open in June, and for its rich, dark, shining foliage. 2-3 ft., 75c 
each. 
S. persica (Persian Lilac). A shrub with slender, arching branches, attaining a 
French Lilacs produce many colorful grace- height of 5 to 10 feet. The foliage is small, the flowers bright purple. Blooms 
ful panicles. in May and June. 2-3 ft., 75c; 3-4 ft., $1.00, each. 
S. villosa (Japan Lilac). Grows 6 to 8 feet. The single flowers are light purple 
in bud, white when open, and are fragrant. Blooms in June, and is valued 
for the lateness of its bloom. 2-3 ft., 75c; 3-4 ft., $1.00. 
S. vulgaris (Old-Fashioned Lilac). The old standard sort so much planted in 
old-time gardens and whose sweet-scented blossoms form so large a part 
of the spring landscape. Grows upright, sometimes to 20 feet, with 
abundant dark green foliage, and the familiar fragrant, purple flowers 
in May. One of the best shrubs for a tall screen or for the background of 
shrub plantings. 2-3 ft., 75c; 3-4 ft., $1.00, each. 
S. vulgaris alba (Common White Lilac'). Very similar to the preceding sort, 
but the shrub is perhaps not quite so large, and the' fragrant flowers are 
pure white. 2-3 ft., 75c; 3-4 ft., $1.00, each. 
NAMED VARIETIES OF LILACS 
These are the French hybrids so much admired and sought after. They 
are all grafted and are sure to furnish abundant bloom; their rich colorings 
are beautiful and unusual, and they are distinctly superior sorts. The named 
sorts make extra fine specimens for lawn plantings, the blossoms lasting a 
long time. 18-24 in., 75c; 2-3 ft., $1.00, each.
