Fern-Leaf (Persica laciniata)—This sort is extremely fine in foliage, and is a very effective trailer on the rockery. Frau Bertha Dammann—This produces the largest clusters of white lilacs, of the common species, known in cultiva- tion, and also the purest white. Highly desirable. Josikaea—A specie found in Transylvania; leaves long, wrinkled; flowers blue. Leon Simon—Thyrses, attaining 14inches in circumference; 4-parted; compact; crowded and packed with blossoms. 'Z?hese flowers, which are piled one on another, are very double, and perfectly round; color bluish crimson; buds, clear coral. The whole appearance of the cluster produces the effect of a lot of wall-flowers joined together. This plant is altogether extraordinary, and has nothing to resemble it, in port or in beauty, either among single or double lilacs. (Silver Medal, Paris. May, 1885.) Ligustrina Pekinensis — Found in the mountains of the Pekin district. A tall shrub of much beauty of foliage; flowers white, with the odor of honey. Ludwig Spath —This is, without doubt, the most beautiful variety of the old purple lilac ever produced. The single blossoms, as well as -the clusters, are very large, and of splendid dark purple- red color, not only as buds, but even when the blossoms are fully expanded. Michel Buchner— Plant dwarf, bearing at the top of all the branches thyrses, which form rigid pyramids of blossoms, 9 inches high. These are of perfect regu- larity, % inch broad, formed of three corollas each, the rounded lobes of which are regularly intricated; pale lilac throughout in half-opened blos- soms, and also in the bud state; mag- nificent plant
