SYRINGA spp.—Lilacs start so early and sulk so after 
spring transplanting that we prefer fall planting. We did 
however, dig last November especially for spring plantiig 
two non-suckering Jate-blooming (which makes them frost- 
proof) species: S. Josika@a, deep violet-purple, 6 ft. speci- 
men grade at $3.00; and S. Villosa, with delicate light pink 
flowers, available in 2 to 8 ft. grade at $1.25 and heavier 
3 to 4 ft. at $1.75. S. chinensis, better known as the Rouen 
Lilac and the Red Persian Lilac is available only in 2 to 3 
ft. at $1.25 and growing in pots at $1.75. 
VIBURNUM LANTANA — Wayfaringtree. Most dis- 
tinguished and colorful of all viburnums, with extraordi- 
narily fine foliage, bloom and fruit. Its crinkly, leathery 
leaves are held after most other shrubs are bare, through- 
out November, slowly changing: through unusually rich, 
deep-toned colors. White flowers: in large, flat clusters 
appear in May, followed by berries which gradually change 
from green through orange and red and finally to black. 
Berries are retained well into winter and winter interest is 
heightened by well-developed flower buds for the following 
summer’s bloom. 
3 to 4 ft. $2.00. 4 to 5 ft. $2.50
