FRENCH HYBRID LILACS 
Listed below are some of the finest varieties of lilacs in the 
world; in fact everyone is a survival of the fittest. 
There are about 150 varieties in our proving grounds; we have 
an extended list of varieties that we can supply, which will 
be gladly mailed on request. 
A pleasant and satisfactory way to select varieties is to visit 
the nursery when the lilacs are in bloom. They can be moved 
then by the B&B method. 
The prices listed include digging with a ball of earth and 
burlapping. This method eliminates losses and is time-saving.
