HYBRID LILACS 



These named varieties of Lilacs are marvels 

 of beauty and elegance — so far superior to

 their worth can be given in print. They must 

 be seen to be appreciated.

 be the very best of their respective colors.

 habit, with large, single purple flowers.

 beautiful double flowers. One of the best.

 ful light blue.
