Girl wreathed in lilac cultivated from an earlier time (9)
The answer is CLASSICAL: the wordplay seems to be lass (girl) with an anagram of 'lilac' round it - but CICAL isn't an anagram of lilac. Or am I missing something?
And can anyone parse 40ac for me, while we're at it? "Break even during different sales initially (11)". Answer must be 'elevenses', but here too I suspect there's a mistake on the setter's part...
