To Acquaint You with 
Cottage Garden-GrownLILACS 
The modern Lilac is as far ahead of the old-fashioned type as the Shasta 
Daisy is of the wild “Oxeye” variety. The Cottage Garden Nursery’s Collection 
holds the choicest of the latest European hybrids, in specimen plants fully de¬ 
veloped to bloom this spring! They are perfectly hardy everywhere, easy to 
grow, while their attractive foliage causes them to be highly ornamental the 
greater part of each year. 
Four Varieties Bound to Make Many Friends 
Here are two superb single and two charming double sorts designed to make you wish for 
more Lilacs in future seasons:—

they open, changing to a lighter purple red 
later. One of the best dark red sorts. 
Mme. Lemoine. One of tbe first double white 
sorts ever perfected and still one of the best. 
The Two Charming Single-Flowering Sorts
