Various Lilac Species 
JAPONICA. A unique species from Japan becom¬ 
ing a good-sized tree; dark, glossy foliage; creamy 
white flowers in large panicles; odorless. Blooms a 
month later than the other Lilacs. For this reason 
it is especially desirable, as it prolongs Lilac time 
in the garden in a most delightful way. Medium¬ 
sized plants, 50 cts. each; heavy plants, 6 ft., $1 
each. 
JOSIK7EA. A distinct Asiatic species, forming a 
small tree, with large, shining leaves and purple 
flowers, in June after other Lilacs have done flower¬ 
ing. 50 cts. 
PERSICA. A fine, old variety of dwarf, bushy 
habit, with very fragrant, purple flowers and loose 
panicles. One of the most desirable species, and 
grows very extensively. Blooms in late spring. 50c. 
Persica alba. A fine white sort; flowers delicately 
tinted with purple. 50 cts. 
VULGARIS. The well-known old-fashioned 
Lilac; dense panicles and handsome purple flowers 
in May; very fragrant. Notwithstanding the strong 
appeal of the hybrid varieties, this is still a favor¬ 
ite. 3 to 4 ft., 35 cts. 
Vulgaris alba. The white form of the common 
Lilac, with pure white, fragrant flowers. 3 to 4 ft., 
35 cts. 
Deutzias 
Deutzias are very graceful. The dwarf Gracilis varieties are especially valuable for planting in front 
of the more upright-growing shrubs, hiding the bare stems of the latter by their abundant, drooping foliage, 
reaching to the ground, completely covered in the end of May and in June by their large clusters of small, 
fragrant, white or pale rose flowers. 
Discolor, Scabra and Vilmorinaj are more upright in growth, and Pride of Rochester forms a large speci¬ 
men, 6 to 8 feet in height, and should be planted in the background. 
By crossing the various species, Mr. Lemoine has raised a great many very beautiful new varieties, a 
number of which are included in this list.
