Lilaes 
(Syringa) (3) 
All our Lilacs are budded on Privet. They should be 
planted about 4 inches deeper than they stood in nursery 
row which will put them ‘on own roots” the first season. 
All plants, regardless of size, are branched. 
Demand was so great last season that after booking up 
advance orders our assortment was very limited. The 
situation is even worse this year. Under the circumstances, 
we certainly recommend early ordering if you wish to get 
stock of any of the varieties still unsold, several of which 
are not available elsewhere in the country. 
Numbered varieties have been bred here but not yet 
fully tested. Our present opinion of their quality can be 
judged from the group in which each is placed. 
We heartily recommend the booklet, “Lilacs for America,” 
which contains a wealth of information including quality 
ratings on ail varieties. It can be had by sending $1.00 to 
A. H. Scott Horticultural Foundation, Swarthmore College, 
Swarthmore, Penn.
