LILACS 
Lilacs are favorites in our gardens. In spring starting in 
| April, they begin flowering and by selection of varieties 
| and species, there is a continuation or prolonged succession 
| of lilac flowering, until early June. Two species, Micro- 
| phylla and Potanini, even repeat with occasional flowers 
| during 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 
| can 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 wih 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
