Birds-eye view of our Lilac propagating block 
In order to keep our stock true to name, plants for propagation are confined 
to a special section. The history of each individual Lilac is carefully pre¬ 
served. A record is kept of its source, flower, form, color, size of truss, name 
of originator, the row in which it is planted, and its number in the row. The 
whole plat is mapped and blue printed. When taking material for propaga¬ 
tion, every precaution is taken that there may be no mixing of varieties. 
ALL OUR LILACS ARE GROWN ON 
THEIR OWN ROOTS
