FRENCH LILACS 
What garden does not have room for 
such color and fragrance as the Lilacs 
give? Here are some especially fine 
varieties, each on its own Lilac roots 
which make strong, healthy, long- 
lived plants. These will give you no 
trouble from suckers. Although they 
are more costly for a nursery to grow 
this way, they are well worth the differ- 
ence. Each is a splendid specimen. 
» Better flowers will be obtained if the 
seed pods are removed each season 
immediately after flowering.
