HYBRID LILACS 



YBRID LILACS are among the most beautiful and worthy members of the vast 

 family of flowering shrubs. In brilliance and charm they have few equals. The flowering 

 clusters are of varying size and form, and range in color from white thru azure blue to 

 almost violet and from the common lilac color to purple, reddish magenta and lilac pink. 

 Many varieties show more than one color in bud and full blown flower. Many are delici- 

 ously fragrant and many of them bloom when quite small. They harmonize well with 

 other familiar shrubs and endless variations of color harmonies can be worked out with 

 them. As cut flowers they are excellent. They are hardy, require very little attention, and 

 should always be considered when a specimen, hedge, screen, or mass planting is desired.
