French Hybrid Lil acs 
The hybrid Lilacs listed below differ from the common Lilacs 
in that their flower clusters are much larger and fragrance more 
entrancing. The plants themselves are more dwarf and bushy, usu¬ 
ally reaching a height of 6 to 8 feet, and do not sucker or sprout 
from the roots. A much greater range of color runs through the 
varieties of hybrids than may be found in the common varieties.

tinge of red. The finest of its color.

magnificent panicles of large double flowers, very fragrant. The outer petals
