LILACS 
Lilacs 
SYRINGA vulgaris (3) 
We fully believe that our active propagating list em- 
braces the most up-to-date collection of lilacs of- 
fered to the -trade in this country. Just before the 
wart we imported Lemoine’s latest to bring our list 
right up to that date. It seems absurd to see so many 
ancient varieties still being listed. They were all right 
when originated 75 or 100 years ago but there has 
been plenty of progress in the meantime, particu- 
larly in the size of the individual flowers or “florets” 
as they are sometimes called and also in a wider 
range of color tones. If your collection is not really 
up-to-datc why not do something about it? 
Lilacs must be ordered in multiples of 5 of each 
variety as they are bundled that way when dug. 
NOVELTIES 
Several lilacs originated by us are now being intro- 
duced on an exclusive basis by certain first-class retail 
catalog houses who wish “leaders” of high quality. 
Most of these will be patented. We have a few more 
of these lilacs ready for introduction and shall be 
glad to explain the arrangement on request. 
Our latest originations which, with two exceptions, 
are now offered and described for the first time in 
our annual pricelist. All are patented or patent ap- 
plied for.
