As a happy relief for too 
many evergreens in a 
foundation planting, this 
long-time dooryard shrub is 
ideal. 
No blooming shrub makes 
a more beautiful picture 
than a Lilac allowed to dis- 
play itself as a specimen on 
the lawn. 
Lilacs are fine plants for 
the back of a border, with 
perennials, annuals, and 
spring-flowering bulbs to 
complete the planting.
