Syringa — Lilac 
Perhaps the common Lilac is one of the best 
known plants in the world, and certainly it 
has gained the affection and attention of New 
England planters for years. However, the 
entire family includes many choice species and 
delightful hybrids whose merits should be bet- 
ter known, to prolong the blooming season of 
the family, and for the value of their colorful 
variety. 
The heart-shaped, clean, green foliage makes 
them desirable, not only as specimen plants, 
but also as screen hedges. The species Lilacs 
are particularly worth while and should be 
found more commonly in gardens. All Lilacs 
are benefited by applications of lime. 
The Fragrant Hybrid Lilacs 
To those of us who are familiar with only the common 
white and purple Lilacs of old dooryards, the hybrid var- 
ieties, which have come from the crossing of the common 
Lilac with other Lilac species seem too splendid to be true. 
They bear huge trusses of single or double florets, many 
intensely fragrant. Unlike the preceding varieties, they 
bloom when very young, and grow to moderate size so that 
they may be planted in fairly limited space.
