Lilacs 
FOR FRAGRANT 
BEAUTY 

Much charm of home grounds comes from the free use of flowering lilacs 
The Lilac like the Rose is more closely wrapped up in the esteem and affection of the American Gardener. 
It offers so much fragrance, color, profusion of bloom and thick rich green foliage. 
Throughout our northern states the Lilac thrives splendidly and quickly grows into a magnificent shrub. 
Dependable and absolutely hardy. 
ENJOY THE NEW FRENCH LILACS 
French Hybrid Lilacs are modern improvements 
of the old-fashioned lilac. The flowers are gorgeous 
in coloring and much larger in size. The French Lilacs 
bloom when young and bear year after year a profu- 
sion of delightful blossoms.
