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 beauty, 
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 during 
blooming season last year and all enthusiastically proclaimed them the finest that they 
had ever seen. A vigorous Colorado climate combined with fertile soil, both overhead 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. 
Because Lilacs start growth early in the spring, we do not recommend shipment after 
April 15th. Early orders also receive the pick of the stock. Fertile soil with ample 
water and full sun is recommended. 
We make no charge for packing Lilacs for shipment and send them express collect, 
2nd class rate, unless otherwise advised. Lilacs travel at the purchaser’s expense.
