Use them in groups or masses in front of taller 
evergreens and shrubs; in foundation plantings;

foliage all year. 
Our Rhododendron sales for the past few years have 
used up many named varieties faster than we could 
propagate them with our present force. While all 
of our Hybrid Rhododendrons are named and true 
to color, we regret that it will not be possible to list 
the names in advance, as in previous years. 
Although the Rhododendron supply is limited, we suggest 
that customers who desire certain named varieties please 
send their list of requirements which we will fill if at 
all possible.

“PERFUMED LOVELINESS” | 
FOR FALL DELIVERY ONLY, BEGINNING ABOUT OCTOBER 15 
The delicate and refined beauty of the Lilac, coupled with its ruggedness, have 
made it the most popular spring-flowering shrub of all time. The sweet fragrance 
and loveliness of Lilacs ushers in the first main festival of flowers for many gardens. 
Remember that time in spring when many try to share with others by giving or 
exchanging real husky bunches of Lilacs. 
For many years Bobbink & Atkins have been growing the world’s choicest 
varieties of Lilacs. At present, the supply is so limited that instead of offering them 
by variety name, we will list, as nearly as possible, the typical colors: 
F. O. B. Rutherford, N. J. 


Mauve-pink Violet-blue 
Rosy purple or claret Red to lavender 
White Satiny pink 
In this way we can fill your order in accord with your choice of colors. Each plant 
will be labeled with the variety name to match the color you select, but this cannot 
be foretold in advance. For the privilege thus granted us, we are able to make a 
reduction in price: 
Lilacs by color, 2 to 3 ft., $2.00 each 
3 to 4 ft., $3.00 each 
_ For customers who already know varieties by name, we have prepared a special 
list of those currently available which will be mailed upon request. 
LILAC COLORS 
5 NOTE: It should be remembered in connection with the color description of Lilacs 
that the colors of all Lilacs are soft, and except for the whites, are a blending of colors 
rather than one pure tone. This fact makes the descriptions by color most diffcult and 
probenly no two persons would use the same terms in describing any dozen varieties 
of Lilacs.
