150 THE GARDEN MAGAZINE APRIL, 1916 
a _ The Charm of Farr’s Lilacs 
Lies in,the myriad flowers of delightful odor; their ease of cultivation and their hardi- 
ness. They will thrive anywhere, under all conditions. 
Highland Park, Rochester, N.Y., has the largest collection of lilacs in America; they 
form one of the city’s chief attractions and last spring 175,000 people went to High- 
land Park to see the lilacs in full bloom. 
On my grounds here at Wyomissing | now have one hundred varieties of Lilacs includ-~ ~ 
ing many Single and Double sorts introduced by Victor Lemoine, and other well- 
known hybridizers. In my collection are the superb double sorts, Miss Ellen Will- 
mott, Mme. Lemoine and Victor Lemoine; and among the singles, Marie Legraye. 
These have the special recommendation of a great horticulturalist who has spent 
many years studying the Lilacs in the Old World. 
In my collection here I have many other varieties worthy of mention. Among 
them are Dr. Troyanowski, Etoile De Mai, Jeanne D’Arc, President Loubet, 
Leon Gambetta, Mme. Antoine Buchner, Waldeck-Rosseau and William 
Robinson. All these are double-flowered varieties, and range from early 
to late bloomers. My leading single flowers are Congo, Crampel, Jules 
Simon, Reamur, and Toussaint Louverture. Both the single and the 
double varieties present many different shades of purple and lilac. On pages 
70 to 76, inclusive, of the 1915-16 edition of my book 
Farr’s Hardy Plant Specialties 
You will find full descriptions of many different varieties of Lilacs, with an illustra- 
tion of the beautiful Leon Gambetta in all of the colors of nature. With few excep- 
tions the price of all my splendid Lilacs is only $1 a plant. In other parts of this book 
you will find much useful information about Hardy Plants—Irises, Phloxes, Peonies 
(over five hundred varieties), Asters, Delphiniums and others that will increase the at- 
tractiveness of your garden. ‘This book is valuable to any lover of flowers and plant 
life. It is profusely illustrated with twenty-four fine engravings, twelve being in 
natural colors. It is free and will be sent for the asking.
