Lilacs, Syringa 
The objection to the old common lilacs was that they are 
slow about commencing to bloom. The newer Hybrid Lilacs 
bloom much younger, often the year following planting if giv¬ 
en suitable conditions, are more varied in color and more dwarf. 
Valuable for fragrance and freedom of bloom in early spring; 
well suited for distant effects, for planting in the corners or 
boundaries, as screens, massed in groups and for specimen plants. 
Will stand a little morning and evening shade but full sun with 
good air drainage is best. Well drained soil, not too rich, gives 
a short-jointed growth that produces an abundance of flower 
buds. Prune after blooming, a little each year resulting in well 
formed bushes and flowers well placed over the entire bush. We 
have an extensive assortment of varieties, and will send list on 
application. The following are the leaders; 
Belle de Nancy. Double; brilliant satiny rose, white center. 
One of the best of the pink shades. 
Charles Joly. Semi-double; dark purplish red to wine-red. 
Charles X. Single; purplish-red to lilac-red; while not the 
largest it is one of the most reliable free bloomers. 
Ludwig Spaeth. Single; crimson-purple, one of the darkest; 
large flowers; rather dwarf habit. 
Madame Abel Chatenay. Double; pure white; large compact 
trusses; somewhat dwarf habit; excellent. 
Madame Casimer Perier. Double white; blooms freely; late; 
excellent. 
Marie Legraye. A fine single white; blooms freely. 
Madame Lemoine. Another fine double white. 
Michel Buchner. Double; pale lilac-blue; good size trusses; 
rather dwarf and stocky. There are no pure blue lilacs, but this 
is one of the bluest, and a good one. 
President Grevy. Double soft blue; good sized clusters. 
Wtlliam Robinson. Double; violet-pink: large trusses and 
good flowers; rather dwarf; excellent.
