The GARDNER NURSERY LILAC COLLECTION contains most of the finest varieties of FRENCH 
LILACS in existence. We say the finest because our varieties are so listed by 
"Lilacs for America". We have 99 of the 100 listed as the very best, and all but 
three or four of our varieties are in the recommended list of that publication. 
We also have most of the Lilac species and many of the Hybrids between species, in- 
cluding practically all of the fine new Canadian Early Lilacs and many of the late 
Canadians. In all, we have more than 250 varieties of Lilacs, many so new and rare 
that they are offered by few nurseries. 
OWN-ROOT LILACS 
Over 90 varieties are offered in this list, many of the varieties being in the new 
and scarce class. 
People familiar with Lilacs know the importance of having lilacs grown on their 
own—roots. Such plants are easier to start and are as hardy and as long living as 
@ common lilac. Grafted lilacs seldom do well until they produce their own-roots. 
Some take years to do that, many never do and remain stunted and eventually die. 
Producing OWN-ROOT Lilacs is slower and more costly than propagation by grafting; 
therefore true OWN-ROOT lilacs are offered by only a few specialists. 
Every GARDNER Lilac offered is a genuine OWN-ROOT plant, never a privet graft that 
may some day have its own roots if planted deep. Every plant is grown right here in 
our nursery. :
