Lilac • Syringa 
Coming into bloom as they do in early 
spring, the Lilacs are heralds of the great 
floral army which is to follow with the 
summer. They please us not only by their 
soft and modest coloring, but also by their 
satisfactory fragrance. 
They should be planted deep so as to 
get them quickly on their own roots. We 
grow over 100 varieties in our nurseries but 
have not space to describe them all. If you 
wish some varieties not listed here, write us 
about it, as we probably have them growing. 
See illustration on back cover.
