S. VILLOSA (Late Lilac) Discovered about 1750 near Peiping, China 
by the Jesuit missionary, Pierre d’Incarville. First introduced into 
cultivation in 1882 by Dr. Emil Bretschneider. The pale, rose colored 
flowers of this vigorous shrub have a slight fragrance resembling that of 
Privet. The hardiness, profusion of bloom and late flowering habit of this 
beautiful species (it blossoms about two weeks later than the Common 
Lilac) make it a very valuable addition to American gardens. 2'—3’,
