Book Description We are planning a revision and expansion of th is classic Timber Press first published in 1988, but in the meant ime we will release this facsimile paperback reprint in response to extraordinary customer demand. About the Author John L. Fiala (1924-1990) introduced 78 lilac cultivars, wrote a definitive en cyclopedia on lilacs, and founded the International Lilac Society . He significantly improved the color and performance of these pl ants. For his hybridizing achievements he was awarded the Thomas Roland Medal in 1980 by the Massachusetts Horticultural Society. Excerpt. ® Reprinted by permission. All rights reserved. Lilacs, to the botanists called Syringa, have a fascinating history when one considers their origins, their great variety and the migrati ons that have made them at home in all the colder regions of the earth. They are not children of the very warm climates nor of the tropical sun. They are natives, mountain dwellers, of the colder regions requiring a length of cold weather to set their fat buds for bloom. Recent experiments show that they will grow in some o f the southerly regions where frost and drought are minimal. They are best where winters are cold but not arctic. All the 23 spe cies, more or less accepted today, have marvelous tales to tell o f their native lands and the progress made in their development a s garden shrubs. Some, like the common lilac, Syringa vulgaris, a re well knowny by almost every gardener and loved for their beaut y, fragrance and dependability. The other species, beautiful in t heir own way, are far less known and most would not be recognized by many people as belonging to the family of lilacs. By careful examination and consideration of each classification we shall see k, as we unfold this unique lilac family history, to appreciate t he beauty they bring to gardens throughout the world. By understa nding them, knowing them well and seeing their ease of culture, w e shall find them both a garden and a mainstay of beauty in our l andscapes. In Greek legend the nymph Syrinx was pursued by the g od Pan and turned into a hollow reed from which Pan made his firs t flute or pan-pipe. The name Syringa derives from the Greek word 'syrinx' meaning 'hollow stem'. One of the first names for the l ilac in English was the 'Pipe Tree' or 'Blow Stem'. We are told a ncient Greek doctors used its stem to inject medications into the ir patients or to bleed them. 'Pipe Tree' was an old English name n for both Syringa vulgaris and Philadelphus coronarius. John Cla udius Loudon, the English botanist (1783-1843), stated in his fam ous work on trees and shrubs that the best Turk.
