this shapely shrub is a mass of rose-pink 
flowers of great beauty; it is wonderfully 
effective when seen against an evergreen 
background. It has large, heart-shaped 
leaves. These plants are especially broad and 
bushy- Each 10 100

Lilacs Syringa 
Besides the common, old-fashioned Lilac 
and its many beautiful hybrid varieties, there 
is a class of Lilacs not widely known but 
worthy of a better acquaintance, a number of 
which we list below. These give us both large 
and small trusses of bloom, the individual 
flowers being smaller and daintier, the whole 
effect that of a lighter bloom.
