PLEASE NOTE: While above lilacs are not tall, they have good strong canes and are 
on their own roots. They will soon develop into larger stock. 
HYBRID FRENCH LILACS IN STANDARD FORM—(Tree Lilac). These lilacs are 
budded on 4'stems, the heads are three years old. Very fine for formal gardens and in 
smaller gardens where room does not allow large bushform lilacs. Tree lilacs are also 
good in the perennial border when they are used for perennial planting at the base.
