The lilac is the most common and one of the most 
indispensable shrubs we have. It was the favorite in 
grandmother’s garden and even today no shrubbery 
mass would be complete without it. There are many 
new creations of the lilacs that are very fine and merit 
a wide use. They are of various sizes and shades of 
color. We grow a very desirable list of the best kinds
