O flowering shrub is more dear to the heart of America than the Lilac. It is deeply 
rooted in American tradition. It graced the yards of our hardy pioneers . . . went 
homesteading in covered-wagon days . . . and has never paused in its steady 
march to a popularity which covers our nation from coast to coast. 
Most democratic, too, is the Lilac! It flourishes as freely at the door of the humble 
cottage as on the estates of the wealthy. Rich and poor alike are equally privileged to 
share its eye-filling beauty and its lovely perfume. It withstands the most rigorous 
climates, does well in all kinds of soil, and even endures thick city smoke and soot.
