General List of French Hybrid Lilacs 
French Lilacs flower when very small and produce an abundance of bloom. They are obtain¬ 
able in a large range of colors, and are fully as hardy as the common lilac. 
We recommend that you plant them in the fall or early spring. Lilacs like a rich soil and it is 
advisable, when planting, to use a reasonable amount of well-decayed stable fertilizer. 
If you wish your lilacs balled and burlapped add 25 cents each per plant.
