rench Hybrid Lilacs 
Although they are all hybrids of the common Lilac (Syringa 
vulgaris), the French Hybrids are much more orderly in growth 
and have been bred and selected for the size and shapeliness 
of their flower trusses, and are now available in a wide va- 
riety of colors. In some of them each tiny floret is a fully 
double flower with as many as a dozen petals. All the 
colors shown above can be secured from our list on page 62, 
as well as many intermediate shades. 
From established plants, literally arm-loads of fragrant 
trusses can be cut each year, and, far from harming them, 
seems to increase their productiveness for the following sea- 
son. They need not be grown as isolated plants, since they 
are ideal for tall backgrounds and do equally well in such 
locations.
