Hybrid J^lacs 
Hybrids are produced by the crossing of plants, differing more or less in 
kind, but usually closely related and of the same genus. 
Syringa Chinensis {S. rothomagensis) 
(Rovien 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 similardn 
color to those of S. vulgaris. Its reddish purple ffowers are borne in enormous 
clusters and in the greatest profusion. S. chuiensis is undoubtedly one of 
the finest of the Lilacs. ^I.00 each. 
S. CHINENSIS f. ALBA —A white form of the Rouen Lilac, with pro¬ 
nounced violet markings at the throat of the corolla. 3L50 each. 
(tor other forms of S', chinensis, see Mrs. McKelvey’s monograph, The Lilac, 
pages 418 to 427.)
