A view of the Lilac Collection, purchased from Farr, for the Agricultural Experiment Station, Geneva, N. Y. Shipment of the order, 
including 86 plants in 62 varieties, brought us the following unsolicited letter: 
“The Lilacs arrived in fine shape and are all resting in their proper places. Please accept our thanks for the promptness in filling this order, 
and also for the fine plants. They are excellent specimens, with exceptionally fine roots.” 
LILACS IN SMALL SIZES 
Improved propagating; methods enable us, for the first time in 
30 years, to offer small plants of Lilacs at lower prices. If you do 
not mind waiting, or if you enjoy raising plants, the following 
list will be of exceptional interest. 
The plants are from one and a half to two years old and from 
6 to 12 inches in height above present ground-level. They should 
be planted deeply, with tips barely showing, as we do when plant¬ 
ing into nursery row, so as to enforce bushy growth. Being 
hybrids, they should bloom after one or two favorable growing 
seasons. 
Prices are based on thoroughbred value and the supply avail¬ 
able, not upon size of the plants. The plants are guaranteed to be 
(1) own root, (2) true to name, (3) alive within six months after 
you receive them, (4) satisfactory upon receipt or returnable at 
our expense. 
MINIMUM ORDER, $3. 
Orders from this list must amount to at least $3 
Otherwise, add 25 per cent to the prices indicated

WHY FARR LILACS ARE SUPERIOR LILACS 
Farr Lilacs, except “small sizes,” bear at least double the 
standard number of stems and branches per foot height. They are 
own-rooted, extra well branched, and bushy specimens because— 
(1) We plant the young plants very deeply in nursery row, so 
as to obtain extra stems and sprouts. 
(2) We space them for two-way cultivation instead of crowding 
them into a solid nursery row. Plants do not “thin” each other 
and are fully developed.
