Hybrid Lilacs 
For wide color range, flower size, extended blooming period, and 
fragrance, plant Hybrid Lilacs. 
The varieties we offer this year have been carefully selected to 
offer wide color variation and extended season of bloom. Few nur¬ 
series 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, v/ell 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.
