The Syringa is an invaluable shrub. Of vigorous habit, very hardy, with large handsome foliage, and beautiful 
white flowers, produced in the greatest profusion at the blossoming season, it merits a prominent place in all col¬ 
lections of shrubbery. Most of the varieties, except those of dwarf habit, form large sized shrubs, twelve to lifteen 
feet high. They can of course be kept smaller by pruning. The dwarf sorts do not yield many flowers, but are 
such pretty, compact plants as to bo very useful where small shrubs are desired. All of the varieties flower in 
June, after the Welgela. By planting the late flowering sorts, the season may be considerably extended.
