VARIETIES OF SYRINGA VULGARIS. Single and Double 
For years we have been collecting from various sources the best Lilacs, and take pleasure in now 
offering a selection embracing the best varieties known. We have imported annually the introductions 
of ^e celebrated French raiser, Mr. Lemoine, and have in stock the cream of his offerings. 
Ihe improvement in the Lilac, especially in the double sorts, during the last ten years is marvelous, 
and all lovers of this flower will be delighted with these novelties. In size, form and color they far sur¬ 
pass the old favorites and we confidently recommend them to our patrons. Nothing that has been intro¬ 
duced recently is likely to prove so popular as these Lilacs.
