New Lilacs on Their Own 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, lias been budded on privet and is 
practically worthless, for Lilacs grown on this are certain 
to die in a few years. Nurserymen bud Lila.'s on privet 
because they can produce a large stock quickly and inex¬ 
pensively; but one Lilac on its own roots is worth a score 
of budded plants. 
Ten 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 tine stock, and the only stock of named Lilacs 
grown on their own roots in America. On account of their 
starting into growth so early in spring, Lilacs do best when 
planted in the fall.
