French 
Cree Lilacs 
Growing Lilacs in tree form is very 
popular in Europe. It brings their fra- 
grant flowers close to the eye as well 
as the nose. It permits the planting 
of bulbs, annuals, or other flowers 
underneath the tree. In that manner, 
prevents loss of garden space. Further, they are perfectly adapted to the formal garden 
or formal beds. Spaced at intervals along a garden path they are a feature out of 
bloom as well as when in flower. They are about 4 feet in height.
