On Own Root 
Lilacs 
In placing your order for Lilacs, you 
will naturally compare prices. 
Do not confuse the prices of Lilacs 
grafted or budded on California Privet 
with the price of own^root Lilacs. 
It is the Own-Root on a French Lilac 
that makes it cost more. 
Our French Lilacs are 
on their own root. 
PRESIDENT GREW. Double. Light blue. Immense panicles; 
very double and symmetrical. A clear, soft delicate blue— 
President Grevy is one of the older sorts and still one of the

SENATEUR VOLLAND. Double. Very floriferous. A very pretty

intense rich purple-red, that holds up well in the sun and lasts
