FRENCH LILACS - CLASSIFICATION TO COLOR 
_ As it is almost impossible to describe colors of flowers, particularly in a long 
list of similar varieties, so as to really give a good idea of color tones, we have 
divided the Lilacs on our list into nine general color groups so as to aid in color 
classification. It should also be remembered that there is a decided difference in 
the form of the individual Lilac flowers, as well as in the shape and size of the 
trusses or clusters. Also that there is often a decided difference in the growth 
characteristics of the different varieties. 
The color classification given here follows that included in the recent report 
of the Committee on Horticultural Varieties of the American Association of Botan- 
ical Gardens and Arboretums and therefore differs somewhat from the color classi- 
fication which we have been using in previous years. The varieties under each color 
group are listed according to their place preference in the Committee report.
