? Double Dark Red 
These 10 Beautiful 
NAMED LILACS 
All different, all named, all labeled, in all colors: white, 
pink, lavender, blue, lilac, mauve, purple, and red. 
Remember, all these Lilacs are on their own roots. All 
plants will be at least a 2- to 3-ft. grade, and we will use 
3- to 4-ft. plants if we have them. 
Should we run short of any of these varieties, we reserve 
the right to use some other variety of the same color and 
quality in its place. 
From shipments in previous years we have found this 
collection in a 2- to 3-ft. grade weighs about 60 pounds. 
(Nursery stock takes the second class rate and you can 
always find out just the amount your charges will be.)
