New Lilacs 

 on their Own Roots 



Of late years there has been a multitude of 

 new varieties of Lilacs grown and many of them 

 have very great beauty, but, unfortunately, almost 

 all the stock offered, both in this country 

 and Europe, has been budded on privet and is 

 practically worthless, for lilacs grown on this are 

 certain to die in a few years. Nurserymen bud 

 Lilacs on privet because they can produce a 

 large stock quickly and inexpensively, but one 

 Lilac on its own roots is worth a score of 

 budded plants.
