Hybrid Lilacs 
The growing of Hybrid Lilacs has always been a specialty at the 
Weston Nurseries. A few years ago we had perfected a grand 
collection of specimen plants. That same year the Metropolitan 
District Commission took over several fields of nursery stock 
which lay in the path of the Quabbin Aqueduct. Our entire lilac 
field was included in this taking. Sorry as we were at the time, 
this deprivement has resulted in a breath-taking display of lilacs, 
yews, shrubs and shade trees now growing on the grounds of the 
administration building above Quabbin Dam. It is a living 
example of how our plants, moved in June by efficient state land- 
scape architects, can thrive on windswept Quabbin Dam. 
We have continued growing lilacs on a large scale with the latest 
methods of own root propagation. We take great pains with 
proper labeling, spraying, and in procuring the newer and best 
varieties. 
When ten or more plants are ordered at one time we allow a dis- 
count of ten percent. A collection of lilacs is adaptable on any 
home grounds whether it be a cottage, farmhouse or a larger 
residence.
