LILACS 
CLAUDE BERNARD Lilac 
For 20 years we have specialized 
in Lilacs. In that time we have 
tested over 150 varieties. The fol¬ 
lowing list represents the “cream” 
obtained by constant observation 
and selection. Some are better 
than others, but there isn’t a poor 
one in the lot; there couldn’t be 
under the circumstances. In all 
cases we use key letters to indi¬ 
cate sizes available this season for 
each variety.
