LILACS 
Syringa hybrids—AMERICAN and FRENCH LILACS 
The only satisfactory way to grow lilacs is on their own 
roots. Beware of cheap lilacs grafted on privet or S. vul- 
garis understocks—they’ll bring you nothing but grief. All 
RICHARDS’ LILACS are on own-roots—a slow and costly 
method of propagation but the only way to get the fine 
plants you want. 
Lilacs start so early and sulk so after Spring planting 
that we prefer Autumn planting. Lilac prices listed below 
are for delivery either early Spring or next October or 
November.

Hiawatha. First of a new series of frost-proof lilacs originated 
in Canada’s northernmost nursery. Blooming season is early 
June, weeks after ordinary lilacs have finished, which makes 
them practically immune to our late freezes. The blooms of 
waxen texture come in heavy panicles of deep rose-pink, an 
entirely new and utterly entrancing color tone in lilacs. 
Foliage is large, luxuriant and heavily erinkled; the bush 
itself is non-suckering yet unusually husky grower.
