Hybrid Jylacs 
Hyb rids are produced by the crossing of plants, differing more or less in 
kind, but usually closely related and of the same genus. 
Svringa Chinensis (S. rothomagensis) 
(Rouen Lilac) 
A natural hybrid between S', persica and S. vulgaris. It resembles S. persica 
in its narrow leaves and twiggy growth, while its blossoms are similar in 
color to those of S. vulgaris. Its reddish purple flowers are borne in enormous 
clusters and in the greatest profusion. S. chinensis is undoubtedly one of 
the finest of the Lilacs. $1.00 each. 
S. CHINENSIS f. ALBA —A white form of the Rouen Lilac, with pro¬ 
nounced violet markings at the throat of the corolla. $1.50 each. 
(For other forms of S. chinensis , see A-lrs. McKelvey’s monograph, The Lilac , 
pages 418 to 427.)
