French Lilac 
LILACS 
French Varieties (Double and Single Flowering) 
SPECIMEN BUSHES READY TO BLOOM THIS SPRING 
The FRENCH LILACS, owing to their hardiness, attractive free 
blooming, have been and are being planted so extensively that 
propagators are unable to keep up with the demand. 
In addition to our regular good 2-3 ft. ready-to-bloom grade as 
listed below, WE HAVE a heavy transplanted 4-6 ft. grade, un¬ 
named varieties in colors: white, lavender, purple, etc., at a bar¬ 
gain price of $1.50 each. These are ready for immediate effect as 
specimen hedges and windbreaks.
