| LILACS 
Lilacs are favorites in our gardens. In spring starting in 
\April, they begin flowering and by selection of varieties 
land species, there is a continuation or prolonged succession 
io lilac flowering, until early June. Two species, Micro- 
iphylla and Potanini, even repeat with occasional flowers 
iduring the late summer. 
| The best known types of lilacs are of the Vulgaris group. 
/This can be from the so called Common Purpple lilac 
(Vulgaris) to the finest hybrid, which would comprise hund- 
reds of varieties. In this group of lilacs the flowering season 
is extended about two to three weeks, with, for instance,

\Lamartine coming into flower about the last week in April, 
\Reamur and Violetta coming into flower about May 10 to 15. 
| The species lilacs cover a longer range of flowering sea- 
‘son, starting, sometimes in early April, with ‘Oblata, and 
‘ending in late June, with Amurensis and Pekinensis. We 
jcan even consider the flowering habit of Microphylla and 
‘Potanini which flower in midseason, and again produce 
‘occasional flowers in August. 
Comparing the Vulgaris hybrid lilacs with Species and 
their hybrids, I can only say there is a very good use for 
‘all. In a small garden where space is limited, selection 
should be made from a list of Vulgaris hybrids because
