STRONG, OWN ROOTS - NURSERY GROWN 
Hybrid French Lilacs 
What garden does not have room for such color and 
fragrance as the Lilacs? Here are some especially fine 
varieties, each on its own lilac roots which make strong, 
healthy, longdived plants. These will give you no 
trouble from suckers. Although they are more costly 
for a nursery to grow this way, they are well worth the 
difference to you. Each one is a splendid specimen. 
Better flowers will be obtained if the seed pods are 
removed each season immediately after flowering.
