FRENCH LILACS

72c each, 3 for $1.98 
The following are some of the best va¬ 
rieties of the French Lilacs. They are 
more dwarf than the common varieties; the 
blooms are larger and of better color, they 
also bloom much younger. These Lilacs 
are grafted on Privet or Ash and do not 
sprout. They should be planted 3 or 4 
inches deeper than they grew in the Nur¬ 
sery. Every home should have a few of 
these Lilacs.
