THE CREAM OF THE 
New Hybrids 
The following are the “cream” of the cream of Lilacs. They stand 
out above other varieties because of their enormous trusses and ex- 
quisite colors, as well as their fragrance. No more need be said than 
“these are the best to date.” Although our collection of French Lilacs 
comprises only a limited number of varieties, the purpose of this list 
is to bring to your attention the very newest and most interesting 
developments at the earliest possible date. 
The plants offered are healthy and vigorous, about 242 to 3 feet tall, 
and will flower for you next year.
