LILACS 
“PERFUMED LOVELINESS” 
SPOKANE’S ADOPTED FLOWER 
Spring is truly here when the delicate and refined fragrance 
of the lilac ushers in the first main festival of garden bloom. 
Their sweet fragrance and ruggedness have put them in first 
place as the most popular Spokane spring-flowering shrub. 
Lilaes prefer a sunny location and a fertile well-drained soil. 
Should your soil be acid, a liberal application of lime will 
remedy this condition. In fall it is advisable to apply a heavy 
mulch of well-rotted manure, which in turn may be spaded 
into the ground in the spring.

NOTE, It should be remembered in connection with the color 
descriptions of lilacs that the colors of all lilacs are soft 
and except for the whites, are a blending of colors rather 
than one pure tone. After transplanting it often requires 
two seasons or more for lilacs to produce their true color. 
CLIMBING & CREEPING VINES 
These are the draperies that Nature gives us to cover porches, 
arbors, fences, and to disguise unsightly buildings and old 
trees. All of the varieties here named have been vigorous

the summer or brilliant, showy berries in fall. Use vines 
freely to make the landscape more beautiful.

CLIMBING ROSES. See page 15. 
CLEMATIS 
Beautiful, attractive vines, constantly in demand, whose 
presence in or out of flower will help to soften and enhance 
any planting. May be used on a trellis, arbor, fence, or even 
old tree stumps to liven and give bloom throughout the 
summer and fall. Many of the larger flowering blooms 
average 3 to 6 inches in diameter. Also ideal cut flowers. 
CULTURAL DIRECTIONS. Our vines, being pot-grown, are 
easy to transplant and grow, provided they are planted in 
average soil with full sunshine. A tablespoon of lime in- 
corporated in the soil at planting time and repeated an- 
nually thereafter is advisable. Water well throughout the 
dry season. Make certain that the collar of the plant is 
set from 2 to 3 inches below the surface of the soil. For 
winter protection mulch with rotted manure which should 
be dug into the soil the following spring. 

JACKMANT. One of the best known clematis. Dark purple. 
ANDRE. Red. 
HENRYI. White flowers with contrasting stamens. 
PANNICULATA. Sweet autumn clematis. Blooms late, very
