8 THE GREEN THUMB 
garis and its varieties which is described 
chemically (13) as the combination of 
numerous volatile oils under the for- 
bidding name ‘“‘three-methyl-valeralde- 
hyde-isopropyl carbinol, with small 
amounts of phenyl acetaldehyde, phenyl 
propylaldehyde, and phenyl glycol.” 
This may explain why a true lilac per- 
fume is not yet in commerce. If any- 
one wants to make some the recipe is 
given in footnote (13). 
The numerical ratings mean 9-10 
best, 7-8 very good, 4—6 good, 0-3 poor, 
and for comparison with the Colorado 
balloting the ratings in the national 
survey from “Lilacs for America’’ are 
also shown.
