Lilacs 
(SYRINCA) 
The Lilac is one of the most beloved of 
shrubs in the East and should be planted 
more freely in California than it is. The 
grafted varieties do well in most localities, 
while the common Lilac, Syringa vulgaris 
is particularly successful. They will grow 
perfectly in partially shaded spots or in the 
full sunshine. The flowers will be produced 
in greater profusion and will be larger if 
the plant is given a good rest in the win¬ 
ter, as warm days induce premature growth 
if the plant is watered.

of the Daphne and are just as delightfully 
fragrant. It grows in well drained soil in 
partial shade, but with us seems to prefer 
full sunshine, even where the summers are 
very warm. Gal. containers, 12-18 inches, 
85c; 5-gal. containers, 2-3 ft., $2.00. 
Spring Flow 
No other subjects add more real beauty to the gar¬ 
den than the many varieties of Flowering Trees. Speci¬ 
men rows along walks or drives, and groups of them in 
the lawn or garden with their branches filled with deli¬ 
cate white or colored flowers of many hues create 
memorable impression of the beauty of the Southwest¬ 
ern landscape. There is room for them in nearly all

gardens, and where space is limited there are smaller 
growing kinds and varieties that may be pruned to fit

celled.

orative. Boxed specimens which will flower freely
