LILAC 
Lilacs are the best known and most loved of 
any shrubs in cultivation. You will find them 
growing on almost every farm and they are so 
hardy that you will find them still living in 
the drought-stricken prairies after every other 
shrub and tree has succumbed. But you do 
not know how lovely lilacs can be unless you 
have grown some of the French Hybrids. 
They come in nearly all colors, bloom while 
very young and will last a lifetime.

and held erect well out from the foliage.
