Hybrid French 
Lilac 
The bushes are smaller than the common Lilac. 
Flower stalks of the hybrids are many times as large 
as the common Lilac. It is not uncommon to see 
flower spikes 15 inches long. The beauty of these 
shrubs is appreciated by the public as is shown by 
the great demand.

Care of Nursery Stock 
When the stock is received, open the bundle in the 
shade out of the wind, and, if you are not ready to 
plant immediately, heel the roots in the ground, 
soaking them well as you do. If well heeled in, they 
can be kept without damage for a reasonable time.

nursery stock.
