Which to Plant 
Our list of Hybrid Lilacs has resulted from 35 years of Nursery experience, 
with 30 years of specialization in Lilacs. It contains only the best from our test 
collection of more than 200 varieties. 
No one can list a “Best Dozen.” “‘AII Lilacs are beautiful, only some years 
some are more beautiful than others,” was a favorite expression of Bertrand H. 
Farr. Tastes as to color and single or double form vary with the individual. The 
thousands of annual visitors to Weiser Park and our own Landscape Department 
have shown which Lilacs are preferred. 
More than 150 varieties of Hybrid Lilacs have been discarded. We recom- 
mend that you select an order according to your own preference for color, type, 
and price. Our descriptions scrupulously avoid such terms as “‘sensational,”’ 
“amazing, “‘most beautiful.’’ Such terms could truthfully be applied to all 
Farr Hybrid Lilacs when normally grown. 
Where to Plant 
Plant in a sunny, well-drained location, not in shady or wet spots. Use 
Hybrid Lilacs in the foundation planting about your home, for tall screening 
hedges, as specimens in your flower garden or on your lawn. 
Start a Hybrid Lilac collection for a wartime and, later, a lifetime hobby. 
When to Plant 
In fall, after leaves drop and till ground freezes; in very early spring as soon 
as ground opens.
