SYRINGA — THE LILACS 
The lilac is one-of the most popular of plants and if the 
little known species and the newer varieties were better 
known it would be still more so. We do not grow the old 
common lilacs as they are too slow to bloom. Instead, 
we are using the hybri dforms, the so called French lilacs. 
Most of these bloom when they are very small. Our list 
is rather long. Some of them we have very few, others 
we do in quantity. 
SYRINGA CHINENSIS (ROTHOMAGENSIS)—Chinese lilac 
is undoubtedly a hybrid with persian as one of its parents. 
It is much larger and better than persian in every way. 
The trusses are very large and feathery. There is a good 
deal of variation in color from lavender grey to reddish 
purple. 
18-24 in. $.75; 2-3 ft. $1.00; 3-4 ft. $1.50; 4-5 ft. $2.50

mense trusses on old plants in the latter part of June. 
It is the last lilac to bloom.
