SWEETLY PERFUMED—GORGEOUS FOR BOUQUETS 
Hybrid Lilacs 
For wide color range, flower size, extended blooming period, and fra¬ 
grance, plant Hybrid Lilacs. 
The varieties we offer this year have been carefully selected to offer 
wide color variation and extended season of bloom. Few nurseries can offer 
the complete list comprising our selections. 
Plant Lilacs in well fertilized soil, four to six inches deeper than they 
were in the nursery. Set them in sunny, well drained locations providing 
plenty of water the first year. 
Lilacs do not develop their best flowers after transplanting. Make it a 
point to re-establish a good root system the first year, then you will have 
plenty of blossoms.
