LILAC - Syringa 
COMMON PURPLE (Vulgaris). Easily the favorite of the 
old-time flowers, and because of their hardy, dependable na- 
ture and their exquisite blooms, they will always be popular. 
Grows 8 to 10 feet. 
COMMON WHITE (Alba). White flowering form of the 
above. 
VILLOSA (Late Lilac). Stout, warty branches carried almost 
upright, and dull green leaves give this variety a dis- 
tinctive appearance. The pinkish flowers are borne in broad 
panicles 3 to 6 inches long. Two weeks later than other 
Lilacs. 
PERSIAN. A distinct variety, different from the common Lilac 
in its smaller leaves and slender, upright branches. It grows 
6 to 8 feet. The pinkish lavender flowers are borne in large, 
loose panicles, often a foot long. Usually in full bloom for 
Decoration Day. A very graceful shrub. See picture below.
