Lilac—Bush Form 
No flowering shrub is better known than the Lilac, and none is more popular. It was a favorite in the old-time 
gardens, but those who grew Lilacs then never dreamed of the possibilities of cultivation as has been demonstrated 
in the newer named varieties. All Liliacs are very hardy. 
Persian Purple. One of the most famous Lilacs, with 
arching branches and very fragrant, pale purple flow¬ 
ers in rather loose, broad panicles, opening late in 
spring. Ultimate height 6-8 ft. 
Josikaea (Hungarian Lilac). A sturdy, vigorous shrub 
with treelike growth, dark, shining leaves, and bluish 
purple flowers. It is especially valuable for its late 
bloom. Ultimate height 10-12 ft.
