FRENCH HYBRID LILACS 
(Own Root Plants) 
The improved varieties of Lilac are popularly called French Hybrids because many 
have been originated by French horticulturists. Introduction of the improved Lilacs has 
caused a phenomenal increase in popularity. This is not difficult to appreciate when beau¬ 
ty, fragrance, long life and freedom from disease and pests are combined with hardiness 
and certainty of performance. A. large number of home gardeners visited our Lilacs dur¬ 
ing blooming season this year and all enthusiastically proclaimed them the finest that 
they had ever seen. A vigorous Colorado climate combined with fertile soil, both over¬ 
head and gravity irrigation, produces Lilac bushes which we believe are unexcelled. 
Our Lilacs are hardier, more vigorous, bloom sooner after planting, and with more 
certainty each season than the common lilac, either white or purple. Every plant we send 
out is grown from the beginning on its “own roots.” This permits no possibility of 
sprouting from an understock as with grafted plants; it insures a healthy plant of ut¬ 
most vigor and long life from a natural root-system. 
Time of Shipment, Etc. We have found fall planting of Lilacs to be entirely success¬ 
ful. Shipping season begins in October and continues throughout November. If you 
order late, a second choice noted on your order may save time, as we do not substitute 
without your approval. We have a large block of very healthy plants which will soon 
be large enough to market, but respectfully request that you order only the sizes noted 
in our fall catalogue. We make no charge for packing Lilacs for shipment and send them 
express collect, 2nd class rate, unless otherwise advised. Lilacs travel at the purchasers 
expense. 
Fertile soil with ample water and full sun is recommended.
