on Their 
New Lilacs 
Roots 
Of late years there has been a multitude of new varieties of Lilacs grown, and some of them have very great beauty ; 
but, unfortunately, almost all the stock offered, both in this country and Europe, has been budded on privet and is practi¬ 
cally worthless, for Lilacs grown in this way are certain to die in a few years. Nurserymen bud Lilacs on privet because 
they can produce a large stock quickly and inexpensively; but one Lilac on its own roots is worth a score of budded plants. 
Twenty years ago we bought all the available stock of choice named Lilacs on their own roots in Europe, and since then 
we have been both growing and buying until we have a very large and fine stock. On account of their starting into growth 
so early in spring, Lilacs should be planted in the Fall.
