ODERN Hybrid Lilacs give you a color range that was unknown when 
the first Farr Nursery Catalogue was issued thirty-six years ago. Then 
you thought only of the color which bears the name “‘lilac,” or white, or 
perhaps a magenta tone. Today you can choose from an artist’s palette of colors 
—from beautiful clouds of white flowers through shades of pink, blue, violet, red, 
and purple. Today you can select the form as well as the hue, for there are both 
single and double Hybrid Lilacs. 
The Lilac remains the most important and the most popular of our spring- 
blooming shrubs, and rightly so, for it is hardy everywhere, grows vigorously, 
and gives an abundance of flowers each year with little or no care. The Lilacs 
blooming each year through the countryside of New England and the Middle 
West attest to their vigor. 
The old-fashioned Lilac seldom bloomed before it was 5 or 6 feet high. Farr 
Hybrid Lilacs frequently bloom when only 18 inches tall and within a com- 
paratively short time after transplanting. Farr Hybrid Lilacs bear at least 
double the standard number of stems and branches per foot of height; they are 
all OWN-ROOTED, bushy specimens.
