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, has been budded on privet and is practically worth¬ 
less, for Lilacs grown on this are certain to <1 ie 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. 
We have arranged with a leading English nursery to supply the varieties de¬ 
scribed,which are of the best, in good, strong plants on their own roots. For prices 
of Budded Lilacs, see our general list of Shrubs. 
We secured all the available stock of those Lilacs in Europe and have only a 
limited supply to offer. 
Price, except where noted, Si.50 each, SIS per doz.
